The Hairy Truth

As you may know, my family has moved across the state recently. And as you may also know, I am a hair dresser. That being said, I have many clients in our previous city, and not so many in our current one. I am a stay at home mama so I do not contribute financially, aside from avoiding an insane day care bill each month. So, doing hair is my way of helping. As you may also know, my husband lost his job...so, needless to say, we need any income possible right now with our family of 5.

About once a month I come back to said previous city to do hair. It is worth my while to make the money and see my much missed family. If my husband and kids aren't with me, at least one child tags along. This visit, Leah made the cut.

Yes, we snack BIG TIME in the car on long drives. We had a good 2 hours to go, so who wouldn't pack on the heavy side of snacks?

So I have 12,582 hair appointments this weekend to complete, and family to visit with. You are wondering how? How is this very human person going to accomplish all of that in the matter of 2 days? I dont have a clue! Today I have finished my hair stuff! I love to see these people, they have become family to me, and hey, some of them are family! So its great to see them! It is difficult though...since I am away and cannot always get back in time, people get desperate...this is what they say to me...

Truly, what were you thinking?!?! Now, instead of the hour and a half I typically spend with you...its doubled, and that is IF I can fix what you have done. When you think to yourself "I can color my own hair, how hard could it be?" Remember this...would you tell your self "I can perform this heart transplant, how difficult could it be?" I realize I am not cutting you open and dealing with vital organs, but come on people! Get with the program! I had to be educated and licensed to do this!

That being said, I miss my other little's. They are hanging with daddy this weekend, having daddy time. Which is good for them, especially my Lucy Goose, she is not feeling so hot with all 7 teethe coming in at the same time. Yes. You read that correctly. 7. Teethe. Same. Time.

But who cannot miss these faces?!

And yes, I do have the coolest kids in town! They rock those shades all over the place!

So, in conclusion, I have 14,794 heads of hair to do, sometimes it gets hairy, and I love/miss my way cool kiddos!
