Mama's Got a New 'Do

My biggest fears about losing my hair are:

1. I'm going to look sick
2. My kid's going to hate it

That's the truth. For me, it's not about looking good with hair. I've only straightened my hair and put on eyeliner twice in 3 months. I've happily adopted the stay at home mom uniform of yoga pants and a pony tail. With all of my crazy lady ways about obsessing on things that don't matter, for some reason, hair, makeup and fashion have not ever really been on my radar. Thank goodness...one WIN for the Kinchens...this mama's not crying about being ugly without hair.

So, just because I'm not crying about being ugly without hair doesn't mean I'm not having a pity party for myself about losing it...back to my 2 big fears...Jonathon coached me up yesterday to keep on movin' on about the hair worries:

1. I might look different, but I don't have to feel different. Hair or no hair, I control how I feel.
2. Austin's going to be fine. Having hair or not doesn't change the awesome fact that every morning I still get to run into his room and grab him out of that crib and squeeze his chubby little face against mine.

WIN. So, we made a plan...

I decided I needed to take matters into my own hands and just shave it off before it started falling out on it's own (which will be in the next week or so). Nothing would make me feel like I was really sick more than clumps of hair falling out of my head! Jonathon got his barber to open up the shop early yesterday morning for our little Kinchen clan to each get chopped up.

 

So, we can check that off the list. And so you know, Austin couldn't have cared less about my hair cut. He was happy as could be with his sucker and was ready for me to move over for his own turn with the clippers. He also told me that I look like a bald eagle. Haha. 

So, again as much as I hate to admit it, Jonathon was right again on this one. Either way, it's cold out here and I'm going to have to come up with some kind of a plan to cover this old bald eagle head up. Thank goodness I have friends more skilled in the fashion department to help me out here! Will keep you posted on how that goes...

I put on eyeliner so you can tell the difference between me and my dad :)

WIN THE DAY!
Love
