Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

By
You can't even tell that I got like 3 hours of sleep and have been puked on countless times this weekend, right. Right?
Oh bangs... it's the one love/hate relationship in my life. I love them because my face is a little long an boring without them. The also make a hairstyle more fun. I hate them because they get greasy fast and I have a widow's peak so they get a little funky easily and then you have to pin them out of the way if you don't want them hanging in your eyes. I had been growing them out for months (ok almost a year) and they were pretty much gone but the love finally returned when I chopped them this morning. I am happy to have them back. Will I regret it and grow them out again in the future, probably. But for now they are back. The only thing I wasn't expecting was for them to be brown! Yikes. My hair dye has grown out so much that there wasn't any blonde in my bangs... I didn't get too much sun this summer with the new baby and haven't been into a professional hair person in over three years. Double yikes. Not sure if I'm ready to join team brown or if I will get highlights or something. If I keep letting my natural color go, in theory some time soon I will have Ombre hair which people are actually paying big bucks for in the salons. I don't get it but whatever.
By the way, bang trimming is super easy. I pretty much always cut my own hair because we are cheap frugal and this is one thing I will never pay someone to do. To avoid the blunt bang look, hold whatever amount of hair you want to cut in front of you between two fingers. With sharp scissors cut straight up to the length you want. Always start longer than you think you want. You can go shorted but not longer if you mess up.

    I like it, and I'd love to see what you'd look like with a darker 'do!

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

By
Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
