Mullets, Birthday's and Attitude: Oh My!

I bit the bullet and Got Owen's haircut this weekend. Oh my what a mistake that was. From the advice of friends I took him the the Aveda Spa off of 64Th Avenue. That was my first mistake. I was really tired during the whole cut and wasn't really paying attention. I paid and left. I looked back at my little boy and gasped!!! MY SON HAD A MULLET. How the heck did that happen?? Now, maybe if I was a former mullet lover it would have been cool, but that wasn't my thing either. I know they are making a come back.... BUT no. My son will not have a mullet. So I turned around and took him back to the salon.

Upon entering the poor boy received looks of pity from numerous people... I felt so BAD. So they tried to fix the cut. They did the best they could... but it still looks bad. I am hoping to make his hair grow fast. Maybe I could try come proprecia (SP), or miracle hair grow... possibly Rogaine?? My sweet baby now looks like his mom gave him a hair cut. Actually, I think I could have done a better job. This is why I hate to try new styles....

After the hair extravaganza we went to Truman's 4Th birthday. It was fun. Owen had a great time. James took Parker to Jack's birthday at pump it up. After that we all met back up and headed to Ellah's birthday. What a crazy day. It was a lot of fun though. The kids were so tired they slept in until 8 the next day.

Today we just took it easy. Owen has been missing his skating teacher (so much so that he told me we should have the police go find her because he misses her) so we took all the kids skating to feed his obsession. Parker is getting good too. Lisa and Fernando are enjoy themselves and keep having races to try to keep up with James.

And now for the Attitudes. I can't post too much information due to many confidentitality issues but, Asia being a teenager is tough. I am tired of every life crisis being my fault. After the issues that happened this last weekend she has been treating people so poorly. I guess I am taking the most of it. It is draining. I wonder if I was this bad as a teenager??!! Probably! You know what they say about paybacks...

So back to the week. The last full week before school starts. We are going to keep things simple, a little swimming, a little fun, buying school supplies and taking it easy. I might even be able to organize closets....

To whom it may concern, Owen's hair is still cute, just different. No offense Jane but you love Owen's hair long, you get sad if it is cut above the eyebrows. No matter what the haircut you would have been sad. Sniff, Sniff, your baby boy is 3, and worst case his hair will grow back (and pretty quickly at that). I will look for a Flobee for you with a 4 inch extension so you can get that perfect bowl cut. (Just kidding! Just to let you know it is my job to give you shit - I think James has been dropping the ball in that field).
