It is so ...Oh Jess, I am proud of you for this one. It is so really-real. And I love you for it. Everyone must relate. <br />About your hair- you are wrong about second guessing the do (I am reading the blog backwards) and right about not paying attention to how Marie said to fix it yourself. She had to show me several times before I felt like I "got it" and could do my own version of it if I actually had time. Just get her to show you again next time- or you can take Carter for his haircut and she can show you then! How about that? And she is right about the hair products too- took me a while to be convinced but I am now. Did I mention Carter had TWO black eyes from his bed jumping stunt? Poor boy. Then got an extra bruise in church nursery from jumping off a rocking chair! He looks like he was in a war.<br />love you- Jenn NAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-5806626099687763372010-02-05T21:23:34.381-05:002010-02-05T21:23:34.381-05:00I hope you enjoyed your bloggy break!

You made a great decision. Excited to see your new hair cut. I just did the same thing (http://dianaturner.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-haircut.html). All my life (42 years) I've had LONG Naturally Curly hair. I just had a bunch chopped off a week ago. I was nervous and scared but, like you, I felt it was SO necessary! And I even got all teary-eyed when I saw it... out of happiness. It was a wonderful decision and everyone who sees me raves about the difference. :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224671633731908077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-26667339937632413092010-02-03T19:06:09.788-05:002010-02-03T19:06:09.788-05:00What an awesome awakening... to a conscious awaren...What an awesome awakening... to a conscious awareness of the priorities of being a mother. <br />You are a delight to read! I think the greatest calling from God is that of being a mother. Unfortunately society tells us we need to be so much more to feel good about our selves. Don't buy into that. <br />You have come to a conclusion that it takes others years to figure out, Congradulations!<br />Many, Many Blessing sent your way, DeborahAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510666921345217193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-33668080307833685612010-02-03T18:58:34.672-05:002010-02-03T18:58:34.672-05:00I LOVE your candor!

God gave us a great gift when he made us parents and sometimes we don't see it that way when the reality of it all sets in.
