My "Interesting" Day

Okay, so I know I haven't been the most dilligent in posting. Sorry for the three of you that read! So here is my update for my day yesterday. It was quite interesting to say the least.

So my day started out pretty normal yesterday: Kaitlyn (the girl I babysit) came first thing in the morning and the kids started to play while I tried to convince myself to do something productive. I started vacuuming upstairs when Kaitlyn came up crying. She promptly threw up on the floor saying she drank too much water! I had her sit in the bathroom while I cleaned her up and cleaned up the floor to make sure she was done. She seemed to be feeling fine afterward, so I let her go play and made a phone call to her mom. Her mom told me to let her know how she was after 30 minutes, and after the time frame Kaitlyn was just fine, so she stayed.

I got done vacuuming and Haden came up to tell me that Shay cut her hair! I ran downstairs to find hair all over the front room and my couches with holes in them! She had cut her hair up to her chin on one side! When I asked her why she did it she said that she wanted a haircut. Well we had a talk about who really cuts hair and who doesn't. With the couches, she said she was sorry in such a casual way that I didn't believe her. After looking at her hair a bit closer, I told her we will have to get it all cut off. She panicked! "Like a boy?" she said. "Yes, like a boy," I told her. I think that statement was enough of a punishment for her! She started to cry and say she didn't want her hair like a boy. "You shouldn't have cut it then!" I said. So after picking up as much hair as she could and sitting in time out for a while, she seemed to be truly sorry about cutting her hair, but not about the couches.

After I calmed down I decided I really did need to get the pictures on the computer from Halloween and post them. I took out my memory card from the camera, put it in the computer, and nothing happened. I pulled it out and put it back in a few times, but still nothing happened. So I opened the 'my computer' to open the files that way. The memory card wasn't even coming up. Now I figure my drive is broken. I don't know how it happened, but it did and I am sad! So no pictures for a while for you.

After scouts and Clint came home, Shay and I rushed to the nearest salon that was still open (it was five by this time). I asked if they could fit her in because of an emergency. Fortunately they did. And I thank the girl who did it, because she was the last one out and was called by home twice to find out where she was. She really did stay late for us! Shay was very meloncoly through the entire cut, but as soon as it was done she was very happy about it! She looked in the mirror and said, "See, Mom, that wasn't so bad!" Yeah, not for her! Later when she was telling Nana about the incident, Nana asked if her hair was cute. Her response? "Yes! it's very cute!" I have a feeling this won't be the last time she cuts her own hair!

So there is my day in a nutshell. I know it isn't as interesting as Phil and Tiffany's can be, but it was definitely an upheavel for me!
