I refuse to let it happen

I kind of have a complex. It's called growing up. Getting old. Becoming Blah. Would complex be the right word? I don't really know what complex means. Maybe it's a fear then.
Recently, I got caught in that "Mama slump". You all have to know what I am talking about. It's the point in your life where...well..you just don't care. You let yourself go kinda. Cause you think, why do I need to look pretty anymore?? I am just a Momma. I'm married. I don't do anything, go anywhere, see anybody. Ok, it's not that bad. I DO get out. Occasionally.
But putting on make-up and doing my hair kinda gets forgotten. And when that starts to happen, good things don't come out of it. I get a bad "blah" attitude. I quit caring. I am ornery and irritable cause dangit, I don't feel pretty!!
Feeling pretty is important. In my opinion, if you wanna act pretty, you've gotta feel pretty. And I just wasn't feeling it. Partly because I thrive on change. If some kind of change doesn't happen for a loooong time, I get antsy and bored and blah. My husband doesn't. I hate monotony. Thats what my look was. Monotonous. Boring. I can't do that.
SO......
THIS is what I did!



I KNOW, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? I have no hair and I like it! It's all gone. It's so great. It's so different and it's exactly what I needed to feel alive again! I feel like a hot mama now!! It's so short, but it feels wonderful! Thanks Kim, you did a GREAT job!
(p.s.) Taking self portraits is not my forte. It's quite awkward actually.

WOW I have never seen you with that short or hair, but it looks very very cute!! It makes me want to do it to mine again...but I am trying to grow it out. I know that mom slump...I was just telling anthony today that I need to do something with my hair because I don't care to do it anymore.

Very Very Cute. You ARE a hot mama. Wish we could get together and work out some photoshop techniques. I am spending way too much time trying to learn it all!
