Long Hair

So, this post is about hair.

Ruby's hair is starting to grow back, after having fallen out a bit. People used to think she was going to be a redhead, but now it seems like she has a bit more blond in it. I'm sticking to brown. We are all brunettes around the Zimsen-Campe household.

Next, Kai had a haircut about a month ago and Joe brought him. Can you tell? It's Short. Joe lets Kai decide completely what type of cut he wants. I go in and try to be that type of parent (the good one who lets their children decide what feels good to them with their hair) but I always end up saying way too much.....like, keep it a little longer over the ears and oh, keep it a little longer to give it a little curl and do you mind just layering it in the back, etc. I'm probably the most annoying type of mom: I try to be low-production, but yes you guess it (especially if you know me), I am anything but this!

Then, there is my hair. I am growing it out! I know, crazy, right?

Since 1997 (when Joe and I were about to move away from each other and possibly break-up and I walked by a hair salon and went in out-of-the-blue and had them cut all of my hair off, just because it seemed like right thing to do in my out-of-control world), I've had short hair and I love it.

But, after having Ruby June, I never got around to getting my hair cut, so it started to grow out. Then, finally, when I got around to seeing my friend who cuts my hair, we realized if I ever wanted to grow out my hair, the time was now (since I was well into the growing out process). So, I thought, why not? So, I'm growing out my hair really because I was lazy and because now I want a fun change and since we can't afford a new house or to go on vacation, I guess I'll use my hair, once again, as a way to spruce up life around here.

I can't say it looks super cute right now, but since I don't really care that much about how I look (otherwise I'd take a shower every day, right? or change out of dirty sweatshirt that I've been wearing for 3 days in a row), I'm going to have a little fun with it.
