Blepharoplasty for homeschoolers

So many businesses these days offer homeschool discounts. How nice it would be if plastic surgeons would offer eye and face lifts at a discounted price for homeschoolers, really for any teacher. I was looking through some photos and noticing how tired I look around my eyes. Granted, I am actually tired, but I don’t think I feel as tired as I look. So, I could go for a blepharoplasty. I’ve never had Botox injections, although I know many people who have. I just can’t see myself having to keep up with the maintenance, and truthfully, I don’t need paralysis of my face. I need to have my skin stretched and the excess cut off. So, I’m thinking I’ll try to get a homeschooling discount from a plastic surgeon sometime. Maybe he would have some sympathy for me?-ha! Yes, it’s superficial, but I admittedly hope to do this one day.
Speaking of sympathy, I had a long, long day in the books with the kids. We started around 9 a.m. and ended around 10:30 tonight. There was a break this evening from 6:00-9:00, but math problems weren’t finished until after 10:00. During the break, my daughter and I went shopping for birthday happies for my son. We have the family celebration coming up, so I needed to buy a few things.
It’s bedtime now, but what I should do is go visit the elliptical. Maybe I’ll do a little pilates before retiring. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could lengthen your skin like you can lengthen your muscles? Middle age..

Plastic surgery and science experiments

Today I went into the city to see a locally well-known plastic surgeon about my face. That’s sounds extreme, but he comes highly recommended. I didn’t actually see him. I saw his one of his nurses and aestheticians. I’m trying to educate myself on the best way to take care of my body as I age, and that includes my skin. Learned about some really good things like peels and abrasions-pricey though..
In the midst of that I met with some colleagues of mine to work on the chemistry classes for our homeschool cooperative. Took out many books from the library on experiments, and the boys had fun trying some of them out at home tonight-soap monsters was quite smelly.

Spa Day

Had my first ever microdermabrasion treatment today at a local spa. Yummy.
Finally decided to be proactive on this age thing. Of course, their robes are way too big for me.  I look like a 10 year old wearing my mother’s clothes!
Happy Mother’s Day.

Mid-life crisis

I’m pretty sure I’m having a mid-life crisis. I look in the mirror, and my face looks tired (maybe because I am!)
So, I went to the salon yesterday and dyed my hair bleach blonde. Had my stylist pretty nervous:)
It’s extreme for me. I guess if this is the worst thing I do in my middle age I’m doing okay?

Saturday-soccer, lax, birthday party, Latin, piano, and painting the garage..
My laundry is still out of control:(
