Hair and Half B-day



Today Maddi and I went to get haircuts. I finally found a girl I liked at the spa at the gym and she no longer works there, so I had to try a new girl. This girl had cut Maddi's hair before and I wasn't thrilled with her as she was telling me as she cut Maddi's hair how she really doesn't like kids and doesn't plan to have any. But then she was going on and on about how good Maddi was and she was the best child she's ever cut hair for etc. Maddi just got a trim and she doesn't have much hair and the haircut turned out fine so I decided to give her a try.

I told her I wanted long layers but I wanted my hair as thin as possible to make it more managable. She said I really should have more layers to make it thinner. I said I don't like short layers because I don't want pouffy on the top and then longer hair like a mushroom. She assured me she'd cut layers only in the back and it wouldn't be a mushroom. Let's just say I should have never let her talk me into the layers. I actually liked my hair the way it was and I should have just had her trim it and clean it up! No, I'm not posting a picture of the new hairdo. Not now anyway. I'm still in hair shock. I don't think I ever like my hair when I first get it cut. So, I'm adding a poll to see who likes their hair when they get it cut.

To top the bad haircut off, Maddi's comment was....."I really like it. You look like you're pregnant." Nothing against pregnant people, but my memory of myself pregnant is not the way I want to be described. How funny is that that she thinks pregnant people have a certain look or haircut!?! I know my mom says people's nose or lips look different pregnant, but do they have a "hairstyle"? Oh, well. It's just hair and it will grow back.

Tonight after the haircuts we went to dinner for Cade's "half birthday". I'm not sure when this started but for some reason we now celebrate our kids half birthdays. We try to let it slip by and not make a big deal of it but Cade has been asking for months when his half birthday is. So, we went to the Colonial Cafe and had dinner and ice cream. The 12th is his real half birthday, but we celebrated tonight since Maddi has dance and Cade has karate tomorrow night. My baby is now 5 and 1/2 years old! How does this happen? I guess time flies when you're having fun!!!
