Word-ish Wednesday

Have I shared Havoc’s latest hair cut with you?  I don’t think I have. It was all his idea. My contribution was to drive him there & pay for it.

And to put it off for as long as possible

202-1

Obviously we couldn’t get it done until AFTER the family photos in Wheeling.

And it had to wait until after we had been to the beach because we have so very few beach photos & the scrapper in me didn’t want the hair detracting from the beach setting.

He wanted an Airbender type hair cut, or a mohawk if the arrow was too difficult.

Obviously, given that it isn’t a straight arrow it was sort of a challenge.

He’s never watched the Avatar Airbender cartoon series. Nor has he expressed any interest in seeing the movie.

He just thought the hair was cool.

And I thought “Its just hair. Its the most expendable & constantly renewing part of the body.”

And I thought “He’s 7. It’ll be cute. Colored mohawks are sort of a right of passage for the 6-8 year old male set locally”

And I hoped “This means we get the goth/emo posure crap of the way now right? We don’t have to deal with the ‘statement’ hair when he is 15 now. Been there, done that. Right? “

Oh you so wish it were so Mom.

    You know, if you extended it forward a little and narrowed it, his head would look like a clone trooper helmet.

    Oh my..... Bless him!!

    At the moment The Girl wants her hair cut short (we've compromised on a bob) and The Boy wants to grow his long. *sigh* I'm sure my kids are the wrong way round!!

    Marvellous hair cut. If you can't have a blue arrow on your head when you're seven, then what's the world coming to? :-D

    And those photos will make excellent scrapbook fodder.

    You are a BRAVE mom... My oldest son told me that he wanted a multicolored mohawk. I thought about it VERY briefly and then told him no. But he's 4... maybe I'll be a little more flexible in three years. Does he still like his haircut?

    I actually think it looks kind of cool. But then again, it's not my kid. That's one of the perks of having girls ... I can't see either one of my girls shaving off half their hair and dying the rest of it blue.

I thought I was too late to sign up for it because I was a couple days behind on reading Mel’s blog, but then she contacted me and asked if I could do a post about punctuation. Punctuation? Yes. Punctuation. or perhaps I mean: Yes…punctuation. The first response is clear cut. Yes. It is about punctuation. The second is slightly less certain.  Yeeessss. I suppose it is about punctuation, of all things. It’s kinda rambly & disjointed but still, you must admit punctuation is the focus. Punctuation is very important when communicating on line – we have no sarcasm font or snarky response font – so punctuation helps fill in the gap. At least for me. I use ellipses … all the time. Sometimes they mean “and yes, here is the punch line” or “here is the sarcastic bit”. Usually they just express a general dubiousness about the whole thing, such as in my example, which is in line with their accepted use to suggest faltering or fragmented speech accompanied by confusion, inse

Mayhem decided to take up knitting this week. He found he had plenty of time to knit in the car while we ran errands Oops! Dropped a stitch The dinosaurs were very busy the other afternoon. Once again they requested muffins and they pitched in to make them. Though there was some conflict over who got to stir. Rumors of muffins attracted other dinosaurs And there was some more conflict over control of the bowl The winners circle the bowl in a victory dance But they shouldn't celebrate too soon, because over on the kitchen table trouble is brewing. I'm told they are just getting ready to cut the muffins into equal parts so everyone has a share. but I'm dubious. visit Lotus at www.sarcasticmom.com for more Weekly Winners

A month or so ago I cleaned out my freezer . Yesterday I cleaned my refrigerator. This is a different thing than just cleaning it out. Cleaning it out mostly involves taking most of the food off of the shelves, sorting it and putting the good stuff back. Maybe wiping up some visible spills. But not getting behind or under things or dealing with the bottles on the door. Cleaning it involves taking all the food out, all the bins out, plus disassembling the shelves and scrubbing them & the inside of the fridge all clean. This happens as rarely as the freezer cleaning for much the same reasons – it’s cold, my hands cramp up from the scrubbing and the solid yet still gel like substances that accumulate in dark forgotten corners are a PITA to get clean. Plus the heavy tempered glass shelves are too big to fit in the kitchen sink and have to be washed in the bathtub. Which means I then I have to wash the bathtub. And mop. I never manage to clean the fridge without getting dirty wate
