One less thing

Dear God,

I decided that I was going to cut my son's mullet style hair today.

I have been asking my husband to do it for weeks, but last night he says "Why can't you just do it?".

Exactly.

So, before lunch and nap time today, I took out the fancy Conair Clippers and found guard #6 and 7. Elijah and I sat on my bath room floor, him in my lap, and began to cut. It was a fun task, I do admit. After doing his whole head with the #7 I decided that I would get fancy and try out the #6 on the sides and in the back.. I am awesome I know. That actually worked really well. Elijah just sat there giggling patiently. I then took the guard off and tried to line up the back of his neck.. again I rock..

Bath time!

I was washing his hair and I noticed that he had a little bit of blood on him.. I wiped it with a towel and sure enough there was about a 1 inch scratch where the clippers had clipped his little baby boy neck. He never let on that I was hurting him with this horrible machine! He is OK, but now I wonder what kinds of stories people will make up in their heads as they see it .

I tried to be a good mother and wife and just take care of it because as we both know, If I don't do it ..............

His dad is doing it next time.

Love,

Tiffany
