Day 170 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

        YIKES!!!!!!!!!! and YIKES again!!!!!!!
Today I am thankful that I woke up with hair on my head!! Really, I am!  Olivia is in Cosmetology school, probably has attended about 2 months.  We went to the beauty supply store last week for her to get supplies.  She bought a deep conditioning treatment container that supposedly gives hair a deep scalp and root treatment. It should have been called a deep scalping procedure.  Olivia followed all the directions and told me to leave it on for 20 minutes.  Then she read the label of this brand and it said 10 minutes.  The treatment at her cosmetology school is left on for 20 minutes, but this was a different brand.  I washed it off in 10 minutes, thank GOD!!! I would have been hairless, like a hairless cat, if I left it on for 20 minutes.  When I was in the shower washing it off, clumps of hair(BIG CLUMPS) came out in my hands! I lost two fistfuls of hair!  I shampooed it 3 times!! I feel as if there is still some left in my hair but I and afraid to shampoo again or do anything to it.  I was thinking what the heck(insert a different word for heck)!! It fell out a bit more when Olivia combed it.  I was freaking out thinking I would be bald.  Olivia felt bad and said she would cut her hair off if I lost all of my hair!! I would NEVER want her to do that, one bald head in a family is enough!!  I was trying to think of which of my friends had a wig I could borrow to go to the wig store and where the heck is a wig store any way??  My friend Leslie had a wig from Chemo and I was going to call her this morning.  And my friend Carol has a wig, so one of them might have gotten a desperate phone call this morning. I just kept picturing waking up with my hair all fallen off on my pillow! I woke up almost every hour last night and touched my head.  My hair is already thin!! But thankfully, I still have most of my hair.  Olya was going to be second for the treatment but she decided to decline having the treatment done!!!!!! Olivia spoke to her cosmetology instructor who said I probably had a reaction to the treatment! Do you think I had a reaction, lady???..........of course I did!

       Today is St Patty's Day! Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!  This isn't a holiday that we usually ceIebrate because Dan and I are not big drinkers.  I don't drink at all, maybe a sip of champagne at a wedding but that is it. Today I am thankful  that Olivia and I are going to the thrift store. I love going to thrift stores. I absolutely need nothing but I always find something there.  My youngest daughter Olya is a great thrift store shopper, she always finds new name brand clothing. I guess if you're pretty and thin, you look good in anything! My girls could wear paper bags and look good! Since it is St Patrick's Day, the thrift shop is giving 17% off of purchases. So I am sure we will come home with plenty of stuff we don't need.       Today was Joe's birthday.  When we called him we asked what my granddaughter Kaylee wanted for her birthday in April.  She will be 7. I asked her if she wanted a gift card/money to buy what she wanted or if

          Today I am thankful that we are having a good time on our vacation in Texas!! We didn't have any set plans and just decided to do things as we had time.  Dan really wanted to visit NASA so we did that and we all enjoyed the visit.  Time just keeps moving forward in life and it is the simple things and shared moments that mean the most.  This was the MOST crowded place we went to on our trip. After Nasa we decided to head to Galveston.  We found a great place to tour.  It was called the Bishop's Palace. It was a beautiful historical house that was once owned by a very rich couple, Josephine and Walter Gresham, and later owned by the Catholic archdiocese of Galveston and became the Bishop's home.  The woodwork inside was magnificent and breathtaking!  Olivia and Olya really enjoyed touring the home.

          Today I am thankful that we went on a vacation to Texas for the Winter break!  We wanted to go somewhere new and just have a relaxing and fun time together!  We went to see the George Bush Memorial and Presidential Library. The museum part was closed due to the government shut down but it was very humbling to visit the grave of George, his wife Barbara, and their daughter Robin Bush. Robin died at age 4 from leukemia.  Robin's legal name was Pauline.  There was a cop on duty, I guess to prevent vandalism or grave robbing.  The place was mobbed!  I was so surprised because the museum part was closed.  We could see his desk and his presidential limo inside the gate of the museum.  I am wondering who funds the presidential libraries and how they choose a place to erect the presidential libraries.  Bush's Presidential Library is on the grounds Texas A & M University. I know he attended there.  The girls googled some of the other presidential libraries.  Clinton&
