I Did the (Hair) Do
I Did the (Hair) Do
I go to pick him up tomorrow to take him to cash his check. He said he would give me some money. That would be nice. On the other side of the spectrum, I received some “me” money from his mom the other day. She told me to go and do something nice with it for myself, so I did. *gasp* This afternoon I stepped away from the house and got my hair done. By “done” I mean I had a deep conditioning treatment, a cut (about 3 inches) and a style. Here’s the rub with the style: I have yet to have a chick with naturally curly hair cut my hair. I can’t seem to locate a beautician with naturally curly hair, and I’m thinking that because it is sometimes such a hassle to do something with hair like this that the last thing they want is to have to spend most of their time messing with someone else’s hair. That’s my guess anyway. And, now back to my style, all of these straight-haired chicks want to straighten mine.
I enjoy having my hair straightened, as long as it’s someone else with the flat iron. It’s a lot of work, and usually I get ¼ of the way through and decide piss on it. But it would be nice to one day run into a beautician who would say, “Hey! I know! Let’s make your curls look like Elaine’s on Seinfeld!” That would be awesome. But alas, my hair is straightened. And it makes me feel different.
Shit, with hair like this I can run my fingers through it without removing my fingers with hair wrapped around them. I want to walk through the mall flipping my hair. It makes me want to lock arms with someone and walk in that pre-teen style of swooshing my head back and forth. It makes me not want to wash my hair for a week.
In other news…
This Thursday (tomorrow is Wednesday) will be two weeks since Grace’s feet have crossed the threshold of her school. Two weeks. Two very long weeks. Two I went to the craft store and spent some very precious last of what I have money to buy something to entertain the girls weeks. They called at 7:15 p.m. to tell me that no, there will be no school tomorrow. And we’re expecting one-two more inches tonight, 1-2 tomorrow, and 1 tomorrow night. Now I am not going to be one of those parents who calls the board of education and bitches because I don’t have a babysitter. No, because I will handle it.
But I do wonder if this is a test from The Universe. Let’s see…Assew left three weeks ago. Grace has been out of school for two of those three weeks. And my darling Aunt Tilly moved in for the next seven days. Tell me, it does make you wonder if this whole thing is personal. Or maybe it’s just an aha! from The Universe because here I am, unemployed and running out of savings, a situation I swore years ago I would never allow myself to get into again; I think maybe hell really has frozen over.
Okay. I’m going to have to get back to my farm on face book. Won’t be long before I have to haul myself to bed. And start another day in the snow with the kids home. Yay.
