Pulling my hair out!

So school has started and I am finally okay about it, and I do need to blog about it but for just the few minutes I have before Jared makes me put Colby to bed I have a story. So every morning I take about 40 minutes to do Sara and Amelia's hair. Take the time to brush, curl, straiten, brush, hair do dads, and spray Oh and I cant forget the gel any way I have been noticing Amelia's hair the last week after school looks pretty un done. Definitely not how it looked when she walked out the door. So I ask her.....

Me: Amelia what has happened to your hair?

Amelia: I pulled it out. (Out of its doo dads)

Me: Why did you do that? (Trying not to have a mad look on my face)

Amelia: because I think its cool to take it out.

Me: (Thinking about all the time I wasted this morning)

Amelia: Why?

Me: (Pleading with myself not to say it) Because you look funny.

Me: (I should just start a therapist account for my poor kids.)

Amelia: Thats Okay.

Me: (Getting Madder) Fine I just wont do your hair anymore.

Amelia: Fine Ill just pull it out anyway.

Me: (Stomping off)

So this morning I am doing Sara's hair and Amelia comes up and stands at the sink.....

Me: What ya doing? (Knowing she wants her hair done)

Amelia: Im ready

Me: For what? (ha ha ha)

Amelia: to do my hair

Me: I am not doing your hair.

Amelia: Fine (starts combing it)

Amelia leaves for school without her hair done. Later tonight......

Me: How did it go without your hair done today?

Amelia: Not so cool.

Me: Oh not so fun. (Trying not to smile, Knowing I have won)

Amelia: will you do my hair tomorrow?

Me: Sure. (Trying not to do the I won dance in frount of her)

I like my kids to look cute and clean. So letting Amelia leave the house without her hair done almost killed me. But I am so glad she wants me to do her hair tomarrow.
