Take a Picture, It'll Last Longer

Today I got my hair done. We had to start putting more blonde into the mix, as my hair is getting grayer and grayer, even though I'm not even freaking forty yet. Sigh. I inherited the early salt gene, but it looks much better on my Dad than it ever could on me.

Anyhoo, I went to the salon while Mr. P was at school, and went directly from there to pick him up.

I was chatting with another mom when the door to the classroom opened. "Oh, your hair looks so good!" said the teacher. "Oh yes, it looks fantastic!" chimed the other mom, "I was going to say something, I love it!"

Well, ok then. I'm glad everyone is liking my hair. I am feeling pretty darn good about myself at this point in time.

Then on the way out to the car, I saw another mom and she said, "Oh look, somebody got their hair done! I love the color!"

All right, hold on a minute. My good feelings are now significantly deflated.

Either I need a modeling contract this very minute, or the gushing over my hair is just evidence that my hair normally looks like crap.

I'm guessing it's the latter.

The exact same thing happened to me last week. I'm not one to normally fuss over my hair, but still. When every single mom in the preschool, Tae Kwon Do school, and on the street makes a comment, I felt like they were telling me something. ;-)

They don't say anything the rest of the time because they're too distracted by your huge boobies.

You always look great after you leave the salon. It's how they keep you coming back ... because when you try to blow-dry and style your hair the way they did ... never quite comes out the same. Not that you normally look like crap, NO! You are both fabulous and dead sexy.

hey when folks tell me that my do looks good it's just because I remembered to run my fingers through it and got some of the flat spots puffed up or some of the sticky upies laid down a bit.
I'm sure you do looks fab.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
