a change.

OK, girls!  Other than Amber's marathon of a post, we have been slackers on this blog lately!  Which probably means we have been just the opposite in real life.  I miss my reading material - and seeing Angela's kitten pictures :)


Anyway, I don't have much to say today haha.  I had a crazy busy week, yesterday was kind of hectic and full of things to do and a long doctor's visit for Shea.  Poor kid.  I was home for about 30 minutes after work, then we were at group health waiting forever...I won't even go into the ridiculousness that has been group health.  I was really happy with them at first, and I really like our doctor...but other things, I'm really not crazy about.  And the girl who gave Shea his shots was horrible!  I don't know if she was having a bad day or what, but  I mean, Shea had been waiting in a hot room with doctors and nurses touching him and holding him down, plus he's a year and a half old, active toddler.  She did the two in his one leg, but then she didn't even wait for me to hold down his other leg before she shoved the shot in.  So his leg kicked against it, she jammed it in weird and squirted some of  the vaccine on me.


Then we went to Point Defiance Park for a small family get together,.  Shea ran and played for hours, then all of the sudden, he couldn't walk.  I have never seen my son NOT move.  He took a step and his poor legs were aching so bad, he couldn't play anymore.  He was so sad because he wanted to but he was just too worn out.  I wouldn't have planned going out on a day when he got shots, but there wasn't much I could do about it, and he's never had a single reaction to shots.  He was a champ though, considering.


So anyway.


I did something somewhat drastic and spontaneous today.


I got out a pair of scissors in the bathroom.  Snipped part of my hair.  Freaked out, put down the scissors and went out to get my hair cut.  Which was almost as frightening as cutting my hair myself.


Gene Juarez has so spoiled me, and I decided I needed to stop getting my hair cut there with our current lifestyle.  I have never been so scared to step into a Great Clips before.  I really somehow convinced myself that they are utter buffoons and couldn't possibly cut my hair anywhere near to how I wanted it.  And I got the old lady who could barely walk as my stylist.  Yes, I was extremely shallow and judgmental.  But she was very sweet and I think I was more confident to tell her to redo things, because I had her re-cut it about 4 times and I never ever EVER tell my stylist what to do.  I don't know why, but for some reason I always just nod and smile and say "oh no, I like it" when inside I'm always thinking, "uuuugh this is not what I want".


Anyway, It's not EXACTLY what I wanted (when is it ever?) and the lady didn't style it or anything, and I had it in a ponytail all day before she cut it so it still has a funny bump in it...so I'm sure once I wash it and play with it I'll like it better.  But WOW it feels so good to have all that hair gone!

Yikes, too many pictures of myself.  Anyway, quite acceptable for only $6.99 (I had a coupon and actually, it costed me more, because I gave her a big tip for putting up with me making her redo it and because I felt really bad for not wanting her to cut my hair at first).

Jeremy is getting us a movie, and Shea is sleeping right now.  I've had an awesome, laid back Saturday.  Started some fun sewing projects, and I only have FOUR MORE WEEKS until summer break!! I cannot WAIT!  Except, my preschoolers are so cute I'm going to miss them!  Yesterday after it was announced that the kids needed to get their show and tells from their backpacks, one my four year olds said, "OH NO! I ate my show-and-tell for lunch!" haha.  don't you just hate it when that happens?

Hope to hear from you girls soon!
