Livie's face is ridiculous. Spots everywhere. The whining is RIDICULOUS. I love the child, but right now she's making me crazy.
Mads is just as bad. They're like a tiny chorus of whining adorables, and listening to them makes me want to claw my ears off my head. Maddie is hungry, but she doesn't want to sit still long enough to eat. God forbid I should put her in the high chair. Liv wants to be played with, but only as far as she prefers, except that you never know what she prefers because she doesn't talk much. Mads also doesn't seem to understand that you have to tip the cup UP to drink from it. Or that she can't just go down the stairs head first.
She is infuriated that we dare to gate her. She stands at the stairs, hanging on the gate, yelling at the top of her lungs in absolute indignation at our keeping her safe. I already fear for the teen years. My fierce little ninja baby. She's ten months old, and almost walking. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. With my first I wanted her to walk. With the fourth? I'm pushing her down, sitting on her, because walking without the cognitive understanding of 'no' is a hellish event.
It's all kinds of fun around here.

I have a lot of really long, curly hair. And it's gotten so long that it's starting to piss me off. I've been growing it for a few years, and now that it's long I'm all "boo, I don't like it anymore".
My mother and husband think its awesome long, and when I told the husband the other day I was probably going to cut it soon, he looked at me like I'd told him I was going to cut off his man parts. Horror. Aghast. Devastation.
It's just HAIR. Protein, in curl form.
Anyway. Right now it looks like this: (please excuse my blurry self...and my double chin)
But I liked it when it looked like this:
I have about 15-20lbs I want to lose. Granted, I run a lot lately, but running alone isn't taking the weight off.
I eat really fabulously about 80% of the time. But that other 20%? That's what's keeping the weight on. I know it. I know myself. I have no illusions, and I know I need to make a better commitment to my health and my body in order to get back within a range of comfortable jeans.
My deal with myself is this. Once I lose the weight, I get to cut my hair. If I want to, that is.
I'm still sort of undecided. I just feel like it looks better short. Like I look better with it short. Of course, the husband and mother disagree wholeheartedly, but my sister thinks it looks good shorter. So we'll see.

The fact that I wrote half a post about my hair is disconcerting. Maybe I'll become a 'hair blogger'. OOH. I'll write about my hair transformation! Posts about the day to day life of my hair! How my hair feels that day, What it wore. WHAT IT ATE FOR BREAKFAST.
I am fucking brilliant. This is SO gonna make me famous.

Poor kids and POOR mom! Hate the whining. Re: tilting the sippy cup - have you tried one of those soft straw cups? We get them at Target (rated 4m+) and they are perfect since my kid refused to tip the sippy cup and I got tired of holding it up, and now she can squat over it and drink away.
Well, I would totally read a post that your hair wrote. I think it would be freaking hilarious!! Hey, hair makes people do crazy things if you ask me!! Glad your still blogging! I love your blog!
That's a lot of hair! You would probably lose 5+ pounds if you cut it! I think it is beautiful long like that. But I get it, its a pain.
Also, neither of my kids seemed to understand that one has to tilt their head back to drink from a cup. We use straw cups.
KEEP IT! Trim up four or five inches, get it shaped, layered, some long bangs, etc. I had long hair too and finally did the above and it made a huge difference with my natural curl.
I vote for keeping the long hair. It looks so pretty and feminine!
Ugh sorry you have to listen to whining! That sucks balls. I hate whining.
I like your hair both ways! I always love having my hair short too! Jorden hates it. I'm to the point where I want to chop it too! Love the hair blog idea! ;)
do what makes you happy! i just cut mine. it's michelle williams short and i love it! LOVE IT!!
Haha! I wish I could grow mine out like yours just to see what it's like for a day. Then I'd definitely chop it off like I have it now. C always gets butt hurt whenever I go get mine "trimmed." The longer the better for him. I guess it's a man thing. I can't stand the crap in my face.
Okay, can I just say it took me a minute to figure out what that guy was doing and why he was so close to you. LOL. Had to get on my normal computer instead of the phone to see.
I've only ever seen you in person with long(er) hair, I think, and I always thought it was gorgeous. But I already told you how much I've always wanted hair like yours. But I think it's super cute short too. Husbands and moms always prefer long hair. Not sure why.
Dudette. You have a shiton of hair. I'm willing to bet if you just go and get it cut off tomorrow, you'll lose that 15-20 lbs within seconds. :)
I love your hair short! Super cute! But I'm not one to tell you to cut it because I always cut it as I'm trying to grow it long and regret it later. But yea, give your hair it's own blog. You totally have time to write it right? :)
Your hair is cute short...but. I hate mine short and wish I hadn't cut it. I don't know if you had that feeling when you cut yours last time, the "oh crap what did I just do" feeling, or if you were all "la di da, this is awesome". Because I wish I could just put mine up out of the way without it sticking everywhere and going every which way. Especially once it gets hotter!
Oh the whining! I'm sorry you have it double time. Wouldn't it be nice if there was mute button sometimes?
I think you look great with long or short hair, and that's not too common. I would love to have my hair short, but it just wouldn't work. I've tried somewhat short and it was awful. If you do cut your hair, be sure to post a pic. It'll look fantastic. (I'm with Hailey, I think moms and husbands always seem to prefer the long hair for whatever reason.)
So yes, you have a ton of hair and it's fabulous but what I really want to know is: WERE YOU GETTING A TATTOO?! Details.
I like your hair long and short, so I vote that you go with whichever is less work. 'Cause when my hair is short, it is 100 times more work than when it's long, so it doesn't even matter which I like more because it is just not worth sacrificing that much sleep for short hair!
And yeah, were you getting a tattoo?
