Today I had the opportunity to spend the morning away from home. I went to the hairdresser to get my perm and my ends trimmed. It was so relaxing to just sit and have someone work on my hair and not have to hear children in the background. I love my children but every once in a while I need a break!
Unfortunately, I did not like how the hairdresser styled my hair. She insist on putting in rollers to give my hair volume. I hate rollers and usually have my hair wrapped. I guess she thought she would be able to make it look "wow" but I did not like it. She did a great job with the trimming but everything else was not how I usually like my hair and I could not wait to get home and style it myself. I didn't let it ruin my day though and I actually got a compliment from a stranger saying that my hair looked nice so...
It didn't work for me though because I don't like too much volume in my hair, it makes it look poofy to me, kinda like the 80's. Of course that is my personal opinion and I know people usually think it looks nice when my hair has some volume but like I said, I don't like it. However, it is something that I can fix so enough of my ramblings about it.
Afterwards, I went to the nail place and got my toes done. I've been wearing red for a while now. I did it in Christmas and everyone liked it so I just kept getting red again but now today I felt like going back to my old ways; I love french pedicures/manicures. They just look so much more professionally done. I didn't get a manicure today but it was so nice to just relax again and have my toes done. It was also time to do eyebrow waxing again. I was not looking forward to that but beauty is pain (is that what they say?). I can't say I enjoyed the waxing part but all in all it was a nice morning out for me.
When I got home, the pleasant feeling from the morning left me as my day unfolded. First I started doing some laundry because it was piling high as usual. But I got really frustrated because I had to re-do my daughter's laundry. She left a crayon in one of her pockets and it was all over most of her clothes. I had to use a stain remover and after a second wash several pieces of clothing are stain-free but there are still some with crayon marks. Ugh!
Later as the day went on I had to deal with a lot of craziness from the kids. My son did not get a long nap and he was cranky and whiny and my daughter was complaining about her eyes (allergies). I don't know about anyone else but when I have 2 crying kids, I'm usually one step away from losing it. Jesus help me! That was my prayer for most of the afternoon but I also told the devil that he was not going to get me down. I knew he just wanted to get me mad because he didn't like that I had such a nice morning off. Isn't that just like the devil? Satan get behind me!!!!
In all of this craziness, I still managed to make dinner. When Greg got home we ate and then he bathed the kids while I took a long hot shower. Soon after we put Arjay to bed; he had to go a little earlier today. He wasn't too happy but after he calmed down (maybe 10 minutes) he was out like a log.
Now, here I am venting. Thanks for listening. I'm off now to have some tea and go to bed.
