I understand Mommie Dearest's rage. I really do because...

...Lucy cut her hair, again. Another mullet. I alerted my friends and family with pictures, knowing, that in their sweet and supportive hearts, they were laughing at me the whole time.

Thank you to all the wonderful, creative, and very SUPPORTIVE replies I've gotten from friends and family who love me. I can only deduce that it was a good thing I didn't send the pictures to any enemies.

Lucy's hair is in between haircuts of getting it corrected. (The exact damned thing that happened last time.) And it really bothers me. I think I need either therapy or a nice fresh bottle of vodka. Maybe I should waltz into therapy with the bottle of vodka, and only one glass. Mamma don't share.

Sigh. So, here are the two points that were brought to my attention. I am still upset, but would like to offer up a counter balance to your, uh, supportive points.

1." I bet she's found her calling to be a hairstylist!" She also likes to cook, and lick the spoon. So, if you come over for dinner, chances are, it's flavored with Lucy's saliva. Oh, relax. I boil everything to kill the bacteria.Or throw in some garlic to burn it off. Here are some other things that she could creatively turn into a career that she likes to do on a daily basis:surf the web, boss people around, poop, sing in the shower, brush her teeth with her BRATZ toothbrush with rotating bristles (but not while the bristles are on and rotating. No thanks from her on that), eat snacks,rock out.

2. "Have you thought to hide all the scissors in the house?" No silly, it's never crossed my mind. Geesh! If you'll remember, she did this before about a year and a half ago. A mullet, as well. That was per her perky little preschool teacher at the parent conference in which it was suggested to me that my kids had dexterity issues, particularly with scissors, and that I should run out and get scissors and have them practice all the time. I did. Because I'm competitive like that and my kids will win the dexterity contest, hands down. Hahaha, get it? Hands down? And we're talking about dexterity? Bahahahah! Within the week, they'd practiced and were dexterity rockstars, enough to move on from menial paper and on to better things, like hair. Up to current, my kids are the best dexterity scissor cutters ever. We've worked hard, and I win! wait....

And, I'd also like to take away toilet paper, water, dirt, lipstick or lipgloss, markers, pens, leggos, raw eggs, and chocolate because together, they abuse them all and ruin everything. However, I think you'd all agree with me, that scissors join in that list of necessities and should I take them away, and not let them ruin my life with a recurring mullet scenario. But, what they don't have the resources to destroy now, will only delay the process of learning and destroying later, right?

And that's how I roll, one mullet at a time.
