Chasing cherries and What is up with my hair?

Perpetual motion. That's what she is. She stops only to sleep and even that doesn't last. So we chase and corral and attempt to stay one step ahead which usually means three steps behind, and always in hot pursuit.

*sigh*























But look at my hair.




















I've always had stick-straight thin hair and so I succumbed in the 80's to the perm when it was considered fashionable; but I, unfortunately, continued the style (sadly quite unfashionably) waaaaay into the 90's.

What can I say, I am ridiculously. slow. to. change when it comes to fashion. Ask my daughters, they don't mind sayin'.

Though once I realized I was one of the few females in the world still sporting a perm (well, that and a complete freak-out when I discovered I was expecting baby #3), I cut my hair and went au naturale, which basically meant straight hair with just enough wave to look stupid.

Thank goodness for flat irons.

So kiddos 4 and 5 came and went and there were no really noticeable follicle changes. But the little girl shown above (a.k.a. Miss Caboose), brought with her some MOMMY CURLS.

And I'm not just talking a few waves. Oh, no. This momma's sporting some major naps that I'm having to learn to manage. I'm having to buy new hair products, y'all.

Oh, how I wish I could have back all that money I spent on perms. At least then I'd have money for the activator I need now to maintain my jheri curl.
