q-u-i-t-t-e-r spells ME

By
I think I'm going to quit nablopomo, because guess what? I'll write when I feel like it.

Also, I've realized I'm boring.

Also, I think everyone else has realized that I'm boring.

Also I'm super busy right now.

Also, it's really affecting my commenting abilities - has anyone noticed that I haven't been leaving comments? Maybe I'm being too vain and no one has really noticed at all.

So yeah.

Goodbye nablopomo - I made it 13 days.

And don't even leave me negative comments, like calling me a quitter or saying that if I can't even make it half way through the month what kind of blogging dedication do I have really.

And if you do feel like saying something rude - sticks and stones, people. STICKS and STONES (will be what I use when I hunt you down and beat you.)

Oh and I'm working on a give away thingy (can you call it a give away when it comes with conditions?) Anyone with a girl is going to totally love it. Or maybe sort of like it. Or atleast tolerate it.

It's so exciting.

I don't think you're a quitter at all. I can't ever post when I feel like it's forced...
Can't wait to see what your giveaway is, I don't have a little girl (only a grown one) but I have a new niece, does that count? lol

I noticed...because I'm one of those people that jumps for joy when she hits double digits with comments:)

But we all have times when we're busy or don't feel like we can comment. Enjoy the freedom that comes with quitting:)

I just thought you were following my new comment policy.

I hear you about the realizing you're boring (although you're not and I think you've done a great job).

I've always known I was boring, but it's a lot more annoying to me when I'm trying to post every day.

If it is affecting your commenting, then, yes. You should quit that. Because it is much more important that you comment on others' blogs than post on your own.

Wait, that didn't sound right...

I've only recently become a faithful follower, for forgive me, but what's nablopomo?

I'm busy, too, and don't always comment when I should.

And I feel boring, too, and hate when I have nothing cool to blog about. But I don't think you're boring! I love your beauty pics, and your festive header, and your sketches and I love the way you write.

Blogging, although totally awesome, shouldn't be our #1 priority. (I know, shocker.) So it's okay if you don't have something totally rad to say every day. Or comment on every single blog you read. (Except mine. ALWAYS comment on mine.)

And will I like your giveaway if I only have boys?

I too have no idea what the heck this nablopomo is.

And I never knew that boring people were the ones who always made you laugh...

Your blog is so educational.

hair loss and mourning

By
I like Monkey's hair long.  I tried to grow out Opie's hair when he was younger, but he has always had a tremendously large head, and he also has very thick wavy hair.  You pair those two together, throw in some long locks, and you've got yourself a genuinely bonified giant-head child.  So I've learned my lesson: keep Opie's hair short. But Monkey's hair?  It's so soft, and straight (our only straight-haired child) and super super cute when it's long.  SUPER CUTE.  (Agree with me - it's my blog.)  But not many people liked the whole long hair thing.  I kept having to threaten various family members with things like, "If I come back to find him with short hair I will DISOWN you, run away with my kids and you will never hear from us again.  EVER."  (Husband was particularly sensitive to this threat.) However, I did say that once random strangers started referring to him as a girl, I would consider cutting it.  And even though ...

We took the kids to a rodeo today.  In my mind I knew I wanted to take them for the experience, but also I was thinking:  rodeo=country western torture. I've been to a few rodeos before.  The small town next to the small town where I grew up had one every summer.  It was always hot and super dusty, and everyone got to sit on rickety-ish old stadium benches that didn't have backs.  Also, you had to make sure you didn't wear flip flops, because they could fall under the benches and get trampled by the waiting bulls.  (Seriously, there were bulls below us once - I was like 9, it scared the poop out of me, I thought my shoes were goners.) But the rodeo today?  SUPER AWESOME.  I would bet money that I had a better time than my kids did.  (And they didn't even play that much country music, which is great, because I think that would have ruined the whole thing for me.) First of all, it was indoors.  And at noon.  And had special fam...
