today is going to be a short work
day for me today .. at noon i'm taking my 14 year old daughter to get
her hair done .. some color and a trim .. and when i say "some" color, i
mean just the back section of her hair
for some reason the girl
has decided that she wants to be blonde .. but only in one section of
her hair .. not that i'm crazy about the idea but i've always encouraged
my children to exercise their freedom of personal expression with their
appearance .. hopefully it will keep them from going off the deep end
when they gain full adult independence
at least blonde is better than say .. green .. or orange i suppose
i've
been trying to discourage her from getting her nose pierced .. its too
"permanent" for my taste .. but i finally relented this week, figuring
the sooner she gets it pierced, the sooner she'll tire of the
maintenance and the sooner it will be removed .. then she decided to
perform a little "experiment" to see how much pain her little nose could
take .. "MOM !! its gonna hurt !!" .. the piercing has been put on the
back burner for now .. thankfully
i'm giving it my best effort to
spoil her a little bit this week .. she's off school for the week and
was supposed to be going with her daddy to hawaii .. till he changed his
mind, stating he couldn't afford it .. she IS keeping track .. this is
the 3rd time her daddy was supposed to take her on vacation to hawaii
and ended up flaking out on her .. so instead he's in hawaii with his
wife for the week .. and his sister .. and his niece
so if i can balance her disappointment with a bit of blonde hair .. i guess thats not such a bad thing
