  • Good morning


    Headed out in a few minutes to "run away".   I might actually go to Forks as I've been informed we're out of dish washing soap and laundry soap.  *growl*


    We dunged out the van this morning, and Rob is running laundry through so we have clean clothes for tomorrow.  My two pairs of jeans are both needing washed.  LOL  I usually wear leggings, but for the "city"  I'd prefer my jeans.


    Zeria and I had a struggle over her hair today.  Its been a two week battle in which I kept threatening to sit down and do her hair if she didn't.  I finally followed through on said threat.  We both want her to have long hair, but those tight kinky curls are a MAJOR pain to keep unmatted.  The mats were almost the worst they'd ever been.  I really honestly don't think she can take care of her own hair yet.


    One of the biggest issues with it currently is I typically put it up in braids.  She can wear these braids for a minimum of two weeks.  I then take them out brush through her hair and put them back in.  This is standard care for African American hair.  (I know I've researched LOL).   But whenever she ends up at grandma's house somebody decides to play beauty parlor and undoes the braids leaves it hanging down, and it takes me awhile to get it back up.  EVERY TIME.


    So we've had a discussion that there will be no more beauty parlor at grandma's house unless its braids.  Mommy just doesn't have the hour plus it takes to redo braids that she just did the day before.  The braids are not something that are a five minute thing.  The nice braids take upwords of three hours to put in.  I've been told for true honest corn-rows it can take 6 hours.   So to have them undone on a whim at grandma's house is a major pain.  So mommy has declared war on beauty parlor at grandma's house.  *sniggers*  Aren't moms mean????


    Other then that just hanging around getting ready for the next two days.  Rainee is extremely worried about it.   She found out more then she was supposed to thanks to a big-mouthed older sister.  She had two sets of nightmares last night.  *sigh*  Hopefully it all goes well.  


    The Endoscopy is scheduled for 7:15 Friday morning.  She will be put under for that.  I'm assuming it will be at least 2 in the afternoon before she gets out of short-stay.  Hopefully there are no suprises at the endoscopy, but if there are...I'm not gonna be totally shocked.  That's what Rainee's procedures are about...suprises.


    Prayers are always appreciated.

  • Eww... I'd flip over "beauty parlor" sessions when so much care is needed. Gosh... I've always figured that those very intricate 'do's' I see are pretty darn expensive and VERY time consuming. I'm with you -- no more "beauty parlor"! I'm chuckling though. Em has to be reminded constantly too to brush her hair and keep it up. It's baby-fine, but thickish and rats so easily. *growls* But really... given the extra fun of Zeria's hair. Jeeeeez.

    Does she want her hair straightened? Do you have a stylist/hair cutting friend or acquaintance who could suggest some other ideas? *ponders*

    And yea for leggings! But yeah, jeans for in public. Darn it. LOL.

    Going to be praying for Rainee. *waves*

  • Zeria is going to have beautiful long hair! I have some African girls in my class and they have their hair in braids/corn rows and they always look good. I can understand your frustration when your hard work is undone so quickly at Grandma's.

  • I enjoyed your post!  My daughter is biracial and got the worst of both worlds.  I have baby-fine, thin hair and her dad's is kinky.  Lyns had baby-fine, thin, kinky hair.  It grows up instead of down.  She looks like a troll doll, I have been begging her to let me cut it!  *sigh*

  • I'm with you on the beauty parlor. what a pain!

    Definitely praying for Rainee. I hope everything goes well. {{{HUGS}}}} to the poor doll for having nightmares.
