Issues....

so heres the thing...hair. as i have said so many times before...i have hair issues. i am currently growing my hair out. here is the goal...

lets not get ahead of ourselves. im not blonde. not 19 yrs old. im not 100 pounds. my hair is no where near that length. here is my current status...

now i have committed to 6 more weeks of this hair thing...growing thing. i promised my niece harper and let me tell you i have had my doubts for the past two days about this promise. but what will that make me? a promise breaker? it would. so to avoid being a promise breaker here is what i have come up with to distract myself from actually cutting my hair. i figured this might help me get a deeper understanding of my desire. and maybe get my mind off of my hair. (well that might be too much to ask)

so here it is....

a good in between

the long/short cut

the pixie cut - i love

"the one"

before we make up our minds...because i am sure we will all agree the short cuts are SO cute. lets take a look down my memory lane. because i am fully aware i wholeheartedly admire all these women. they have been through hours of hair and make-up to create these looks. they have lots of money for upkeep. they are all 30 lbs lighter than i am. so lets compare apples to apples...

long - its been years...13

short without bangs

short with bangs

pixie

so after searching through photos of myself...wow this feels like a vain post....it hasn't helped me in my decision. there are some photos i like my long hair and some short i don't like. it is just so hard to say. here is what i do know...today....i feel like my "long" hair never looks great. i mean i feel like it always looks bleh. between my hair, extra weight and my mini van i scream middle-age mom. when really i am a young, funky, fun loving mom. however looking back at some short hair pictures i see there are plenty of non-great hair days there too. there is always my back up plan or "the temptation" as i call it is....

the temptation

the tenth commandment

the following are the current items that remind me almost daily of the tenth commandment. most of them are currently sitting in a "cart" in an open browser waiting to be purchased. just the same with "the boots". but as time passed they sold out and when i refreshed they were gone. they too remind me...

so for now...here's my list....

Her name is Sadie...

She lives life in reverse....

Her shoes are alway in the wrong feet

When wanting to unbuckling from her booster she says "can I buckle up?"

She pushes her bangs to the side against her natural part

When you ask her the high of her day she will tell you her low of the day

When she's cold she will ask you to turn on the air conditioner

Life in reverse...

Picture taken by Sadie

here are the facts

fact #1 it's a king size bed skirt on a queen bed

fact #2 the kids decided to move the bed in search of the lost stapler

fact #3 I would rather leave it like so than to put forth the effort to fix it today. It's not an easy task (see fact #1)

fact #4 but I will

I'm the one

who waits in the turn lane too long to make sure the coast is clear


who is seldom seen in the movie theater

who goes through the drive thru for a diet coke

who has hair issues

who wears flip flops in the rain

who sits in the driveway with the car on just for some alone time

who loves the beach

who talks during a tv show...and commercials

who goes puddle jumping

who loves big earring but not with a necklace.

who loves heels but often wears flats
