Hair ...

Okay.

So, this weekend is dance competition!!!

And as I was twisting

and twirling and wringing my kid's hair

into the required tidy bun

atop her sweet head, I realized ...

A) the layers we had cut into her

hair this summer were wreaking havoc

on my bun attempts,

2) the layers poked out in eleventy-two

directions and couldn't be tamed

by any product I used,

and 

C) it was time to get rid of the layers.

So.

Hop into my chair, little girl ... hee hee hee!!!

(Just kidding - we love Jana, our stylist)

Ahh!!!  Who doesn't love to have their

hair washed???  Soooo relaxing!!!

Tame this mess!  Tame it, I say!!

Hmm ... looking better already.

A little blow dry ... Ow!!  Mom, that dryer was HOT!!!

And there we are!!!

I know it'll be easier to do her hair

this weekend ... I just KNOW IT WILL BE!!!

Okay, okay ... I had mine done, too.

Why make a second trip??

 Jana's flat iron was broken ...

too bad, cuz my hair is much prettier after

it's been burnt to a crisp and ironed flat.

This is what's important!

She's happy, even though this isn't

nearly as short as she likes it!

Happy Girl = Happy Momma

Happy Momma = Happy Everybody Else
