All weekends should be 4 days...or maybe 6 :)

Ok I got an "extra" day taking my son to the doc last Friday. So I felt really out of it going back to work yesterday Tuesday. I was having happy daydreams of being on vacation for two months etc etc. Why am I not a full time Teacher again? ... Oh well it does make it more difficult for on the spot day offs since those wonderful little people would be abandoned.... sigh. Anyway.. been trying out a couple things including the Shea Moisture Style Milk and the Curl Souffle. Getting there getting there.

In Terminator voice ... I'm Back

So been lazy, been busy etc etc. But hopefully I can get back on the blog and hair wagon and not fall off again. Today I left in 2 granny plait "inside canerow/cornrow" and what ever fancy smansy politically correct name you rather give them. I am still chicken to branch back out from my pull it back into one default. *Sigh* ..oh to rock a free fro one day..and not walk constantly looking over my shoulder fearing that the authorities would bound me and commit me.

Besides that I've been busy hanging out with animals, getting my car smashed and towed and ALL THAT JAZZ!

All's well that ends well

Wow its been almost a week...and what a week it was. After break glass Monday, and Tow car Tuesday...Wednesday seemed kinda normal...till I too aggressively climb a curb to park in an unorthodox manner near my son's school...and left with a hanging bumper. Sigh... Of course since I didn't do a complete once over after retrieving the car from the tow pound it could be a bit of she said he said as to whether or not I did all the damage or they did some too. Oh well, some grocery money less later, that too was fixed. Then came Thursday and Friday. Work days ...usually, but ended up spending them far from Manhattan dealing with stuff related to my son and then doctor's visits for all the kids. Why didn't I just take the week off again??? But we were able to go to the park Friday evening, and that was followed by a lovely weekend. So indeed all's well that ends well. As for my hair journey, laziness has indeed been the order of the day and I am once more pull back queen. I am still to my resolve though - NO HAIR PIECES :):):)

Well on a side note I did meet a nasty woman who didn't know how to cover her mouth on the train this morning and now I've been sneezing all day!

Just another Towing Tuesday

So my remarkably bad luck this week continues. I have been officially baptized into the experience of being towed...as my co-worker just said "Welcome to NY". Either that or time to get a new car, as two days of expense incurring issues (thank goodness the insurance covered yesterday's glass, but there goes but intended rate reduction bargaining). Today I'm a whopping $185 poorer plus an impending *(and will be fought) ticket. What IS it with this week?

Just another manic Monday

Sooo...I dropped my son to his school bus at 6:50 AM, went inside, started getting the twins ready, then 20 minutes later my husband informs me that my car has no front glass. Impossible! I huff...I just drove it.... lo and behold.. it did have glass...just a lot of tiny shattered pieces scattered all over inside and out. Two hours later the cops arrive...but I get upstaged by a highly exciting guns out, guys handcuffed on the ground scene out of LAPD Blues! Well there went my two reporting officers and there I was in the street with my license, registration and insurance saying in a small voice "Hello, does anybody still want this". Oh well a couple hours later, new officers took my report, my insurance was called, my car was dropped off and hopefully hubby has picked it up by now :)with new glass intact. Well with all that excitement, my hair experiments went out the door and my planned fake mohawkish looking thing downgraded into an up in the air poof. Now off to hear some class presentations. Toodooloo!

Gel around the edges

So why did my Wednesday post publish before my Tuesday post? Oh well I will take the safe route and assume that I set it to draft rather than publish...the alternative reasons would smack of conspiracy theories.

Anyway so i cheated today...another WET day and my hair would not cooperate so i put some gel around the edges.


But next time I can hopefully do better as my dear hair mentor phenomenal #Hodgepodgefiles has given me some more appealing options. Too doo loo.

Happy Rainy Tuesday!

So its a RAINY dreary Tuesday in NY. At least it's not too cold. Still it was not the day to go off the deep edge experimenting, so it was just a back in one hair day...

Breaking the cardinal sins of rainy day hair

So I know I have ill behaved hair and my new quest to let it go free will have it setback...but this morning I REALLY was not thinking when I decided to do an already poofy back in one with a crocodile clip. It was a rainy, damp day and I knew I should have strait-jacketed my hair... but oh well you live and learn and learn again.
