Oh dear...the boys (and my sprucing)!!













Why isn't anyone (under the age of 10) listening to me this week!?? Why must I holler to be heard?? Since when does my job description include needing a whistle and a helmet to break up these fights?? Ugh...please don't report me here, I do love my children, but because of my current mental status, I have kicked them out today!! Yes, I did, all of them! "If you are a boy and I gave birth to you...your kicked out" were my exact words this morning!! So, they are out and I am in...works out nicely!! :) Doors are locked (my windows are all open so I can see them playing and my 100 lb Weimeraner/body guard is keeping watch too) and they must find something to do outdoors today!! Hate it for them!!

Madelyn is in bed, therefore...peace and quite! Hallelujah!!

The deal is...I'm tired, fed up with the fighting and bickering, and just want it quiet!! I feel worn out and blah! Maybe I need more iron, maybe more sleep, maybe I'm running too fast (surely that's not it...), well maybe I just need a hair cut and some sprucing up...yah that's it!! And so it will be...2:00 today...I will be childless and chopping my hair off!!

(I'm praying my children don't recognize me when I come back...they might continue where they left off...something along the lines of "we're not fighting, mom...we're just playing fighting"...oh ok boys...that makes it all better then, please continue on!! *rolling my eyes* That would be out of Ramiro's mouth!!)

I hope its the right "doo" for me...or is it "do", or "due"?? Who knows...but it looked good on a girl I saw at a concert last Friday night (yes, we did ask her to pose for some pictures of her hair...she was flattered, I think)...and so we will see...will it be me?? Pictures to follow later today...well maybe, only if I decide its "me"!!

Geese, I'm tired...is it 8pm yet?


*********************************************
Ok, so it has been done...the hair is gone!!
Here's the before:



















And here are "many" afters:




It's short, but will be nice to not have to "do" much to the "doo"...you know what I mean?? I'm feeling like a soft drink commercial here...

And it will be better for surviving in all this HEAT!!

BTW: I do feel better now sorta, I think its PMS time too (sorry if that was TMI)...and my hair will feel more like me when I can do it myself (what's up with hair dressers and that hair spray bottle??). I might just go for a run tonight too...6 glorious miles...here I come!!

oh...and the kids...well that's a story for another day... but they were eventually let back in! Hee Hee!!

VERY, VERY cute. I think it looks great on you. I can't wait to see it in person.

I was cracking up when I read your post about the boys playing outside Friday. I had a couple of errands to run before I left for my mom's and I rode by your house and saw the 3 of them playing outside. I didn't see you and I KNEW, I just had that mom instinct that you had sent them all out to play. That is too funny. I've have those same feelings.

I'll see you and talk to you soon!
