I'm on a blogging roll here, three posts in three days?!
So tonight we are going to Cedar Rapids, which is about 1.5 hours away to see Andrew Peterson play. This means I have to be on my A-game while Austin is at work. On the To-Do List (in chronological order) 1.Wake up (if you know me, you know that this is a to-do) 2.Play with Lyric and give him his "breakfast" 3.Make myself a healthy breakfast 4. Play with Lyric again 5.Take a shower 6.Put on face and fix hair 7.Give Lyric a bath 8. Start Laundry 9.Give Lyric "lunch" 10.Eat lunch 11.Update iphone 12. Put Lyric down for a nap/catch up on laundry and semi-packing for the night 13. Get dressed in cute outfit for cute family togetherness 14.Hit the rode!
So now that you know what my day consists of, you need to know what NOT CUTE thing happened. After #6 I thought to myself "wow this is possibly the best hair day I have had in a long time, yesss." (ok so pause. the arrangement on this blog is that i get to share my more shallow moments as well as deep ones and you can't judge. ok go.) So then I take out Lyric's cute little baby bathtub and set it in the bath tub. I turn on the water and...simultaneously realize "I don't think I pushed that shower/tub lever back down. I think that my head is out of the way." And....gush. On my head. Tons of water, because we just had to upgrade our shower head to have maximum pressure and coverage. Water ALL over my best hair day. Worse than it being a perfect hair day...it was already crossed off my list. Remember #6, yea I am on #7 now and don't have time to work in reverse.
So now, my sweet boy is squeaky clean and I think my hair survived after I rigorously tried to buff it dry (yes like a car wash) with a towel.
Good hair days turned into mediocre to poor hair days. This is the price we pay for motherhood.
hahaha, okay so im not a mother but i did the exact same thing right before a date witha douche-b one time. water all up in the good hair! needless to say it was a curly-hair evening.
ReplyDeleteKaty, first of all, you always have good hair days no matter what, and secondly, I have a confession that i just realized needed to be confessed. I secretly wish for incidences like this one to happen to you, not because i wish bad things on you, but i love reading/hearing about these semi-devastating moments that you go through seemingly daily. Your stories are adorable and frustratingly funny. I miss living near you so i can hear them in person. Hope to see you and your boys sooner rather than later.
