Saturday will go down in our family annuls as, "not one of Mommy's best days." Before I start, in my defense, I was exceptionally tired. Gavin has been waking up in the night with bad dreams for a while now and Friday night was quite a long night!
Gavin was difficult Saturday morning, which was great since his Dad had to go meet with some clients. So I was left, over tired and negotiating a terribly cranky (and in his defence - sickish) kid.
We made it through that, but I was just not feeling myself. There were kids in and out of the house, mostly out.
Finally Wes came home and we had a quick lunch. I decided to have a bath. I wanted to shave my legs as we were going "out." Our neighbors had insisted that we go out, they gave us a gift card to a near bye restaurant and insisted that they would also babysit. Cause they are great like that!
I turned on the water but before I could undress the neighbors came up to our door to admire Bronwyn's brand new scooter (which she is very proud of by the way). I popped out to chat a bit. When I came in I looked at Wes and my face dropped, "The Bath!" I yelled! Wes just shook his head slowly and said, "I turned it off." Whew - disaster averted.
I usually trim Wes' hair for him. He had borrowed Dad's hair buzzer set (whatever they are called). So we sat down, since the kids were all outside and set him up for a hair cut. I am not a hair dresser, in fact I always laugh that I have only one hair cut in my arsenal. I stick a 1/2 inch guard on the buzzer thing and just trim his hair - short back and sides.
Apparently, as I learned, I have two hair cuts in my arsenal.
I got everything plugged in and fiddled with this and that and then starting at the top of his head I took a long swath of hair. It took about 1/2 a second to realize that I had not put a guard on the buzzer. I was staring at a long bald strip down my husband's head. I gasped!! His hand flew up and he laughed and asked what I was doing.
Well, he took it very well - I however, cried and well...
There was no choice, we couldn't hide it. It would take a Donald Trump type comb over to cover the damage and Wes' hair wasn't that long!
So, Wes now has a VERY short back and sides cut! He looks like he is just home from on weekend leave from the army (well maybe they have more hair than he does). Or, that we were treating him for lice! Either way - it was my fault!
We went on our date and I am glad to say that even with his hair buzzed off my husband is still the sexiest man I know!
This morning Mari said, "Mommy, I miss Daddy's hair. When will it come back?"
Soon Mari, soon... I hope.

Oh Roberta! I love your posts. :) Here is too a smooth less cranky week and I am sure Wes' hair will grow back quickly :)
Ha! I did that to Drew once. Except it was on the side and I realized it instantly so I only buzzed a tiny patch. I woke up early for the next month to use my brown eyeliner to color in the bald patch so it blended with the rest of his hair. No one ever noticed and he still lets me cut his hair today. I am very vigilant since that mishap!
