I read a blog about how to cut your kids hair. It involved masking tape and cutting straight. This lady also breast fed until her boy was 2 so I mean, we all have our psychosis. That being said, Andrew has had his fair share of straight across bangs ala dumb and dumber but Elsie lucked out because I finally learned you don't cut straight across. Her bangs now look like Sally field in the 80s or me in my gr1 picture.
I made dinner from a recipe on a can of cream of chicken. If we're going retro we might as well go all out. I suscinded to a three year olds wishes and knew the whole time I was setting myself up for future troubles by allowing him to eat on the couch watching wonder pets on netflix. Bah, sometimes it's what happens.
Haircut tomorrow folks. Will not be going short again because I looked like a boy or a lesbian. No offense to either but I have a couple blue flannel shirts and it didnt help the matter.

Working against change
The minute you feel comfortable is the minute things change. I'm not good with change. It often evokes anxiety. I wish I could go with the flow but feel very panicked when I can't control what happens next.
I am scared of making the wrong decision. I'm afraid of working outside God's will.
I dig in my heels, stick my head in the sand and paralyze myself.

Storytime
Went to the library today for a story time. The library I go to is full of moms with Gucci or LV purses and kids, if boys, have long hair and are called Cole or Jackson. Moms sing louder than the children and emit an energy, that if bottled, could power eastern Canada in the dead of winter.
Today I looked at my kids and realized they both had snot streaks all over their face and crazy hair from bed head/hat head. My son also had sprinkle donut remnants on his face because we made a pit stop before the library. My son's pants were half down his bum, exposing his Walmart diapers because the waist in his pants are too big and the height of his pants too short.
I won't even describe my hair.
It was today that I realized when you have one kid, you can be cute and trendy and be overly eager for your kids to sing old macdonald because one kid allows you to leave the house somewhat organized and your energy level is still on "perky". Two kids, your energy is set to "coast with caution". I have utmost respect for the three and even four kid moms. Four kid moms are intimidating. They're the type that jam marshmallows into open wounds because thats what was in their purse. They slap their kid on the butt and say, you're fine.
That being said, I love the story time because my kids love it. I also enjoy picking books afterward. Seeing what my son is interested in helps me learn more about him.
