The Hair Fiasco

Hello! I was too tired to post much last night, so here I am. Mother's Day was fun. Woke up, got a card and a cute shirt from David and the kids, did some wash, then it all happened. I washed my hair and decided before I styled it to trim my neckline and clean it up a bit. That's the problem with short hair...you may not need a full haircut, but you seem to always need "cleaned" up. So I started and then whoops! The clippers slipped and I had a not so pretty gouge of hair missing. I hollered for David, "Hey babe! Can you come up here and help me?" When he arrived I said that I made a boo boo and showed him. Needless to say, he said, "I can't do anything with that. You need to go to a hairdresser." I told him to call his mom (she works as a recept. at a hair place and she possibly could help me out.) No go. She was babysitting. What about my mom? She said, "Go to a hairdresser." So I quickly got in the shower to get the excess hair off, my mom picked us up, and we headed to the mall. Since it was sunday obviously my normal stylist was not available. I was calm with the entire situation, as I feel I do my hair not for myself but for those around me. Not to mention I've had many bad haircuts and hairdos, including my sister cutting my bangs way too short not once, but twice and one time the day before school pictures. But I got to say that I felt like a fool walking in saying, "I messed up." We went to mastercuts and the woman was very cool and nice about it. She ended up shaving up the back so it's pretty short and then I decided to go shorter all around with the exception of my front. Surprisingly I actually like it and you can hardly see the problem area. She said she could have gone shorter but I would have been down to the skin....and she said if I keep it as she did it the spot would be gone in a week. So, any normal person would not see it. And for all they know, it could be a scar.....Hey, I keep life interesting. And how appropriate...on mother's day I call to my mother's too get help...shouldn't that be the opposite? We all got a good laugh and it gave us something to do for part of the day.
