Fools Gush.
Sunday, September 17, 2006
I've decided that anything I say about babysitting from now on is going to be POSITIVE. Seriously. I know that blogs are great for venting.....especially when you know that none of your friends and family are reading it....but I also know that the Word of God says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. (somewhere in James, maybe?) AND Proverbs 29:11 says that "A fool vents all of his feelings, but a wise man holds them back".
Me complaining about babysitting just makes the situation worse. Honestly, I should just relax and talk myself into enjoying it. I am blessed to have this extra income and also to be gaining some experience with a small child. I've turned a blessing into a curse with my bad attitude and whining. Time to change that.
Don't you just love it when a sermon convicts your heart and makes you feel like an egg-sucking dog?
Does this mean that I won't be posting about ridiculous uninvited parenting advice that my mother-in-law shares with me? Nope, probably not. Because the things she says sometimes are just silly and don't really make me mad as much as it gives me a good laugh....even though I will be sharing it in a seemingly mean-spirited tongue-in-cheek sort of way. Hope no one does a sermon on that anytime soon. ;)
I got my hair cut SHORT yesterday. I want to get rid of the black hair dye and go back to my natural color (light brownish), but do not want to use any chemicals to do so. This way, in just 3 or 4 more hair cuts, all the black will probably be gone...and honestly, I like having my hair short. I'm about to go to bed because it's late, so my eyes are all puffy and red in the pic. Nice. My husband said he really likes my haircut, too. And I know that's the truth because we are usually unabashedly honest when it comes to voicing our opinions to eachother about hair-do's and clothing and whatnot. He knows that I'm not too down with his 'fro (yes, white boy had his hair permed into an afro twice)......although it wasn't really that bad, just not my favorite. And I know that he doesn't like it when I have long or medium length hair with super-duper short bangs. I dunno, I'm a nerd, and I like having 50's short jaggedy bangs. With my nice new boy-cut, I can have them and they're not really considered bangs, I guess.

Your hair is so sweet! After baby, I'm considering getting a short cut. I have a huge butt, so my long hair gives me the illusion that my butt is a bit smaller. I think if I can tone it up a bit next spring, then the short hair will work better.
I love your hair! You look so pretty. :0) I wish I had the nerve to cut mine off. I cut a few inches a couple of months ago and almost cried. I'm a dork.
I really like what you had to say about the positive talk. I do the same thing and later I feel so exposed, like I should have held back or something. my favorite phrase to keep in mind when I am doing something I *so* don't want to do is "Fake it till you make it". I didn't come up with it, but I really like it! ;0)
And, I can also relate to the whole "convicting sermon then feeling like crap" thing.
Hope you got some rest!!
I love your hair. You are a cutie-patootie!
nice hairdo and so much easier to keep, I find washing and drying my hair such a hassle at the mo.
