Toys R' Staples

I told my kids that I am going to open a toy store and make MILLIONS by selling all the toys I have taken away from them this year.
Any takers.......?
East New York
I have worked in East New York for almost 2 years now. I am so used to everything that I forget what a crazy place it is. I needed to get some pictures of the neighborhood for one of my lessons so I hid my camera inside my coat with the lens sticking out. (You need to be careful... I have seen people get shot for less than a stick of gum in this place.) I can't even begin to tell you the not-normal things I have seen and experienced here. 



Haircuts, Staples Style
**** Yes, those are kid-safegard scissors :)
Robert and I don't live by the saying "You scratch my back... I'll scratch yours" but ours is more like "You cut my hair, I'll cut yours". Being poor sucks sometimes but sometimes it is so much fun! For the last year Robert has let me cut his hair!!!! This is a big deal for me because when I was little I either wanted to do hair or be a teacher .. and now I get to live my other life! Don't worry, my cousins and I used to pretend we were hair stylist and cut my grandma's lawn... so I have lots of practice! For the most part his hair turns out pretty good... except the time I cut it in dim lighting, opps! Also, Robert is really good at coloring my hair .....and he's cheap!

Project Sleep.... I mean Happiness
My cute friend Tamara invited me to be part of "project happiness".. click here to find out what the heck project happiness is!!
Day one:
Sleep hasn't been in my vocabulary for the last 2 years.. come to think of it.. sleep has never been part of my vocabulary! Since we moved to NYC I have started all my days Monday through Friday at 5:05AM. Saturdays it is 4AM (to work in the temple).. "Well, Lindsay at least you get to sleep in on Sundays"... not usually! I am not complaining because I have always wanted to be a morning person and this has helped me .. but I do miss sleep very, very much! I have dreams about sleeping.. catch my drift :)
So for day one of project happiness I took and long, unexpected nap!!!!!!!!!!! It was lovely and I was very, very happy when I woke up. I look forward to day two of project happiness.. I have some great ideas!
