I have given up trying to upload photos. I was going to wait to do a blog until I got the photos up that I wanted, but each time I try I get an error, so just words for now. Ugh. It was extremely difficult to get up and go to work this morning. I have been off since December 20th. I was really enjoying the "life of luxury" okay, maybe not so much luxury as laziness. I was staying up late, sleeping late...so very nice.

Yesterday the kids and I went to moulage a movie that the Butler Youth Leadership group is doing. I went a few days before and did a "gunshot wound" which looked really awesome. While we were waiting for the high school kids to decide what kind of wounds they wanted us to give them (turns out a black eye and bloody lip, not much at all, darn.) I gave Hayley and Alexa each a black eye, big bruise on their arm and a bloody lip. Alexa was my first victim, and hers looked okay, but Hayley's really looked like she had been punched.

I guess maybe I should explain all of that...I do moulage (make up bruises, bullet wounds, cuts, scrapes, impalements, etc.) for Butler County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) of which I am a part. Sometimes other organizations want us to do moulage for them. It is so much fun. I am just a beginner at it and am looking forward to doing a lot more.

Hopefully I can figure out how to get some pictures on here. I would love to show the pictures of Alexa and Hayley and maybe of my new peacocks as well!
