I had about four inches taken off my hair today, and was so excited that I stopped back by the eye doctor's to see if my new specs are in - they're not. But wait, just wait, til you see my transformation. I can't wait to see the new specs - they're cute as hell and make some sort of commitment to retro that I haven't quite entertained lately. I'm kind of a fashion catastrophe so far this year. I haven't bothered enough to care, but sometimes gurrly tranformations are fun.
I went to a party last weekend where I was older than alla them (kids!), and certainly the only chick there with four inches of gray roots. Good lawd.
Josh is far happier home with us during the day than he was in daycare. I still cannot believe how traumatic that whole thing was for him, and he has his own special brand of anger/dismay, (that got us evil looks when he was in the hospital, all of a day and a half old )and that surely doesn't let him fair much better in an environment where all the other little kids are professional daycare goers. But when they said he "screamed nearly all day", I kmow exactly what they meant, and if you aren't related to him, operating as primary caregiver, that yelling can have detrimental effects on whatever balance they might have achieved by getting all their little charters on regular schedules. I think Josh was, for them, instant chaos. Every morning that week, all the other little 1yr-18 monthers seemed like pros at the breakfast, high-chair dining with spoons and sippy cup things. But they also all looked as if they given up getting personal attention eons ago. I feel like such a moron for having jumped too quick - and that was one of the things Dave and I talked about, about me making executive decisions when we aren't talking it through first. I am capable of knee jerk decisions, for certain, and I really need someone else to be the voice of sanity every once in a while.
Anyway.
Oh, my hair! It feels like I took ten pounds off my head.
And anyway. If I were reading something great or listening to something new, or sitting atop a pile of new news, this would be a better entry....I'm sure I'll improve again soon, to compensate for how much I have been enjoying, and in some ways relying on, the entries of others lately. My brain really does feel spent, and I am finding it impossible to bring back the love of writing this thing that way I used to. I'm spending more time trying to catch up enough to do the web design thing.
Hey, will you check this out fer me? Lazy's new template that I made? Kewl.
