We are leaving, we aren't leaving, we need to be ready now, but not right now...
You would think that the uncertainty of possibly leaving to travel across the country with four children and a 32 foot trailer would drive me crazy, but I'm excited. You would think that agreeing to teach high school chemistry at the home school group next year would mean that I'm already crazy, but I'm looking forward to it. You would think that spending three days cleaning my closet, it's 95 square feet and is the only on in the house, and still not being done would make me insane. I'm excited, the shelves are going to work! All the stress in my life is totally manageable. I'm doing great. I just completely freaking out, on the inside, because Saturday I have to have both my girls' hair in buns. Simple you say well here's the problem.
My oldest is almost eight and her hair is fine and curly and so the keeps it short. It's about chin length, with bangs. How do you put this in a ballerina bun? With nine pounds of gel. Then, a four minute spray with super hold hair spray. Next, you put berets. Then, you pray. Count on about 45 minutes.
My second daughter, in age, is six and her hair is lovely. It's about two inches past her shoulder, all one length, and curly, and thick. It takes me ten minutes just to brush it. And her hair is so heavy that it pulls itself out of pony tails. On top of that she hates to have her hair combed. Yippie!
I can't wait until Saturday.
Ok, now that I got that out of the way I feel so much better. Please think of me around 2 on Saturday and send happy hair thoughts my way.
Don't you love hair! I'm freaking out because they told me to put mascara on my girls. I'm not. I don't even own any, and I'm not going out to buy any. Hopefully they don't have a problem with that... ;-)
