Crapshoot Tuesday

For various reasons, my morning has not been the greatest. Then, adding salt into the wound, Emily walks into my office like this. I first noticed a few chopped hairs on her shoulders. Then scanning the rest of her, it was like that moment in a cartoon when the road runner realizes the string is attached to a stick of dynomite. Yep, the cherry on the top of my shit-day is my daughter giving herself a MULLET. Really, it's so bad. It's more like a rat tail. I guess I can be grateful that she didn't cut any pieces down to the scalp. And that it was an excuse to get a good cry in.

Hopefully you're all having better days.

She's adorable.

OH no. Can't wait to see what her new hair cut looks like! Positive spin?

[Emily]

Oh NO! The worst we ever did as kids - when it relates to cutting hair - was cut my brother's bangs in an up angle. My hair never got chopped. At least you can make a cute bob out of it, thank goodness it's not at the scalp!

Here is mine for this week:

Ugh! So sorry about the chop!

I wanna play! For once I have an offering for Crap Shoot Tuesday!!!!
It's titled "Hope is finding new rooms in an old house." Sound familiar?
Yay! http://gingerallard.squarespace.com/journal/2008/11/4/hope-is-finding-new-rooms-in-an-old-house.html

xoxoxo,

PS - That stinks about Mimi's wonderful hair!
Fortunately she's one of those who grows hair
back in a minute.

Dang.

OMG! I laugh only because my daughter did the same thing at that age, courtesy of her big brother. She is still adorable!

[Jenny Rebecca]

Well if it helps any my first impression was not her hair but, "oh wow - she looks like a little Boticelli girl!"

I'll be back with my crap shot later...

[Jenny Rebecca]

Here's mine! Total blur, but it so captures her delight.

Ooooh. I bet you flipped lol. Well nice thing about hair is it grows =)

[Kal Barteski]

YIKES! Tell her she wil have the same haircut as me when it's all evened out.
I played Crapshoot today, too!

[Mandy Hank]

OMG- I could not stop laughing, I really feel for you as a mom though. Oh that stinks. My little girl was actually born with a mullett, we could not get her hair to grow when she was little- it took until about a year ago to actually look like it wasn't, so I know from experience what it's like to have a daughter with a mullett! Good luck growing it out- :)

[Melissa]

OMG! Too funny! Did she tell you why she did it?

[Paige]

Oh no! A baby mullet! Why do kids do that? I used to cut my Barbie's hair until they all looked hideous.

[Jessi]

I say leave it like that.

I bet she just wanted to look like Katie and Suri with a bob.

[canadacole]

Oh,you poor mama! She's just adorable, even with the "trim" and I'm sure she'll still be cute as a button after you fix it all up. Still, not a nice present for you.

I played along yesterday too: http://canadacole.typepad.com/superfluous_fluff/2008/11/tuesday-memes.html

Feel your pain sister. My stomach hurt for 2 days after Caleb completely pixied Maia's hair. Can't wait to see her next picture with the cute Katie Holmes bob! xx

[Shannon]

You are not alone! My five year old has a one-inch tuft of hair growing straight up from her bangs because she too cut her own...

[tia]

Welcome to yet another milestone of parenting! Yep, you've been given the invatation to step on the red hair strewn carpet. The 11 year old at my house a year ago cut a wad of chewing gum out of her hair at the 1/2 inch above the scalp mark, so beware, there could be another instance. Gotta love her.

[Rachel Brooke]

Oh no! I'm so sorry, Maile. The good news is she will look adorable with short hair. :)
