This is how you are going to see me for a while, or until Jenny can help me fix my problem :). I have been trying to help us save money by completing tasks that I feel I can do without paying someone else to do... for example, I gave my dogs a lovely hair cut :) and saved us 80 dollars by doing so.
What I have learned is is that some tasks, there is a reason you pay someone to do it. They know how!
For example. A month or so ago I decided to cut my bangs. Why pay someone to do it... how hard could it be.... well, I spent the next three weeks or so pulling my bangs back because I did such a poor job cutting them! I kept trying to make them even and in doing so, cut them so short....
Ok, lesson number two that I have learned!
When you die your hair, do not use hair die you have had in the cabinet for over two years. Last night I decided I was sick of my roots showing and didn't want to pay big bucks to have some professional die my hair brown. So I dug out this hair die... BROWN! I thought I would die it myself. The kids watched me, they thought it looked fun! Well, now I have purple/red hair that is so funny looking you can't help but laugh! OH MY GOSH!!!! When I blew my hair dry last night, Hunter looks up at me and says, "Mommy, I want red hair too!" so did Haley! Then Hunter said, "mommy, I think you look beautiful!" How sweet huh? Love is blind!!! :)
This morning Haley walked out of her room and took a double take... "Mama, I forgot that your hair is so red.... I still love you though!"
Anyways... fill free to laugh with me :) I am sure people think I am going through some mid life crisis or something... too bad I do this all the time and not just now! :) it is just hair and it will grow out or come out some time!!!
This picture doesn't even do it justice!!! It is BRIGHT and FUN :) (I write
fun so I can feel better about it).. this picture makes it look cute... (as cute as this color could be on me)
Good thing Jonah has some weight on him.... :)

Jenny covering my red :)
Me in my kitchen just a minute ago... I know it is probably hard to see the color in the kitchen and me holding Jonah... Jenny did a good job covering up my redness. My hair still has a tint of red in it... but you saw what it was... how could it not still have some sort of hint of red in it?
