One more reason....

I love being a stay at home mom.
I can do whatever the hell I want to my hair!!!!

Im back and different

I'm back and got a few questions to ask. I did something that pretty much goes against society's norm here. I have done it before and loved it and did it again. Benny was on board with it and even did it for me. He likes it, I like it, folks hate it just as much as they did the first time.
I went and shaved my head. I kinda look at hair as in it's just hair, it will grow back. No big deal, right? But, I have had two comments made to me that bothered me.

First one was from my dad. He said that I was not a very good role model to my kids. That one pissed me off and hurt because he would not have said that the day before. Did I really change that much because of a hair cut? I don't think so.

The second comment was from my mom. She said because of my hair, Benny doesn't have to worry about any guys hitting on me now. Did she just tell me I was ugly? Not attractive? Not sexy?

Here is my question to yall. What makes a woman sexy/attractive? Is it really inner beauty that counts or is it what is on the outside?

Better picture

This is after a second shower and a little make up. Yup, still pink. I'm just gonna say I did it for breast cancer awareness month!

Requested pic and a problem

So there ya go, I took a pic with my pink hair. Not a great pic because I just woke up and it's kinda dark in here. Either way, there ya go.
OK, we have a problem and I need some help with it. Little Man has these 3 kids that have been bullying him forever. Lately they are getting physical. Like shoving him around and yesterday, one of them grabbed his throat. Until yesterday, my advise was to ignore them and not give them the satisfaction of pissing him off. Well, Little Man can't do that. I guess it's just not in him. He always lets them see him pissed.
I have called the school but they kinda just blew me off. I have talked to the ring leaders mom (she works with my ex mother in law)a ton of times and she doesn't do anything about it. So what is Little Man to do to get this to stop? A few men I have talked to said that Little Man needs to get scrappy with them. I am scared he would get his ass kicked. One of the kids is HUGE! Benny tried to explain to me that boys are different than girls and unless Little Man stands up to these guys, it will go on forever. Even if he does get his ass kicked.
I really don't know what is best. I did tell him though that if the kid grabs his throat again, to reach up and pull his ear down as hard as possible. I may have been really pissed at the kid when I said that. I just don't know what else he can do.
Bullies suck!

Miss Pinky Lee

We had a great weekend even though we didn't do much. We did go to the festival but the teeth that they were sealing on the kids haven't grown in yet on Toot so that didn't get done. Oh well. The festival was actually pretty boring and so we left and went to the dollar store to pick up some cheap toys.
They already have the Halloween stuff out so I picked up a can of hot pink hair spray stuff. Toot loves it but we have pink EVERY WHERE now.

And I might have pink hair too. Not as easy to get out as I originally thought.

Yesterday, we spent the day laying around and watching football. A disappointment with the Cowboys but oh well. I love it though what the NFL is doing for Breast Cancer Awareness month. All the pink gloves and shoes made me smile. I always try to support Breast Cancer Awareness when I can so if you are a woman, don't forget to feel yourself up this month (and every other month to follow)!

Daddy's NOT happy!

Wednesday when I was cleaning, ummm, I mean reading blogs, Toot was making castles out of paper for me. Of course, she HAD to use scissors to do this. I figured since she uses them at school, she would be alright.

She walked up to give me one and I noticed she now had bangs. I got on to her and told her we NEVER EVER cut our own hair. Only Mommy can cut her hair. She handed over the scissors and said she was sorry. I told her to get me a brush so I could fix her new bangs and make them look better.

She turned around to get the brush and I about had a heart attack. She had cut a big chunk out of the back too! First thing out of my mouth was "TOOT! YOU CUT THE BACK!" Like she didn't already know this. Then I said "Daddy's going to be so sad and cry!" That's when I think it hit her what she had done. Then, she was worried.

I had to cut about 6 inches off her hair to fix what she had done.

Before (but it was a little longer because this was the first day of school)

After (She looks really pale because she just did her make-up)

I have to say, it is really cute. That didn't seem to help when her Daddy came home and saw it though. She was worried all day about what he was going to say to her.

I told him she had punished herself by worrying all day and to please say something nice. He gave her that look of disappointment, told her to not do it again, and then gave her a big hug and told her how pretty she looked.

He's a pretty good Daddy. I guess we'll keep him.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. We are heading out to west Texas to go visit my mother-in-law. Wish me luck!

Oh, poor Smiley

With my hubby and Smiley, I cut their hair. It's pretty easy. I put the #2 guard on the clippers and clip away. Yesterday, I cut my hubby's hair and then shaved his face with beard clippers. He hates to shave so I don't say anything as long as he doesn't say anything to me about the days I don't shave. After I was done with him, he grabbed up Smiley and I cut his hair. He really does not like me doing this but I'm not paying someone else to do it. After I was done Smiley got down, gave me a real dirty look, and ran away to go play. I do this out side so I don't have hair all over my house. As I was sweeping up hair, Smiley ran up, grabbed the beard trimmers and before I could get them, this happened.

After I got done laughing, I decided I needed to shave the rest. Then I got to looking how close he shaved it and decided to leave it. In two weeks I can fix it. My hubby didn't think is was as funny as I did, how dare I leave the clippers in reach as I am the only one cleaning up the mess, but he did agree to leave it. It's not like he goes to school or anywhere else for that matter. And so this is what he looks like now and will for a while. I still laugh when I look at him.

Little man didn't cut his own hair but did let another little boy cut his bangs completely off when he was 5. He was so embarrassed, that never happened again. Toot cut some off when she was 3 and her Daddy cried, so she never did it again. I actually cut her hair too but can't tell him because he likes it long. I laughed when Smiley did it so no telling what will happen in the future. Let's hope he doesn't try this again.

I cut my hair when I was little. I remember worrying that I would get in trouble for being in my parents bathroom not the fact that I cut of one of my pig tails. My Dad cried too. I had really long hair.

So, do all kids do this or am I paying for what I did to my parents? My Dad always says I will and laughs when I DO.
