I finally went and got my hair cut last week. I was so tired of it just hanging there, all lank and boring all the time. I got it cut to just below my shoulders, with some chin-length layers. It feels lighter and more summery, and looks cute too. Whenever I am stressed out and feel like I have no control over my life, I cut my hair. Whether it turns out nicely or not, at least I can tell myself that it was a decision that I made and I was able to do something about it. Yea me!
I also went to the dentist for the first time in (pause for dramatic effect)... ten years! Yikes! I know, I know, how awful of me to put it off for that long. The dentist found all sorts of things wrong, and now I'll be going back next week to get one of my wisdom teeth pulled. I don't know if I can spare any wisdom. I'm feeling pretty low on smarts as it is!
Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day and one of my spring break days. I decided to take a day for myself, so I took Stirling to daycare and layed out by the pool. Alas, I now have my first sunburn of the summer, and hopefully the worst I'll have in a while. This one is a doozy! I burned part of my chest and shoulders and stomach where I must have missed with the sunblock, and really burned the back of my legs, and my back where I forgot to put sunblock the second time I applied. Needless to say, I am pretty uncomfortable right now! I have been slathering on the aloe. Stirling tells me "mama owie tummy" whenever he sees the sunburn! No joke!

I really like your hair cut. It is cute. I can feel your pain about the sunburn. I have had enough in my lifetime. Annie has a bad one on her shoulders and upper arms from a friend watching her (and not realizing that she burns so easy didn't put sunblock on her). I feel bad for her. In my defence I was taking Owen to the hospital because he fractured his wrist so I wasn't really thinking about Annie at the time, I was worrying about Owen. Sometimes i wish We didn't have such fair skin. I am sure you do, too. We miss you.

You are beautiful! The haircut must have helped a lot, because you sound very upbeat. Maybe you should shave it all off. You would be euphoric!
