"You're more fun as a blonde" Whispered Scottie Hottie

Apparently I've been boring for the past two years....
I thought that I was funny, a regular crack up in fact!

Though I do think that he has a point.


I have been going natural.  I enjoyed  my healthy hair.
I loved how long it was.
I was accepting and loving what the good Lord had given me.

Last week I just did it. I made the call, sold my soul.


I was going blonde again.


Camille worked her amazing hair magic, spun me around and
There was Me,
Looking back at me.
I immediately smiled, I think I even said the word "Buddy"
Pink's "Get the Party Started"raced through my mind.

I didn't realize that I had misplaced myself
But I had.
How does one lose themselves?
I did get lost in Ikea once, but that was fun.

I think that I started worrying about
Work
Money
Scott's School Work
Family

I stopped worrying about
ME.

I was a total MESS.

So today I vow to
get my hair dyed every month, even if I can't afford milk that month
spend 30 minutes in the morning doing something I want to
paint my toe nails hot colors
does something special for Scottie Hottie weekly
get all dolled up for Date Night
NEVER leave my house without mascara on.

I hope and pray that doing these things will help me to
ENJOY being a house goddess
APPRECIATE making the bed
 FIND PLEASURE in cleaning
DESIRE to cook Scottie Hottie yummy and healthy meals.

What I am wondering is does anyone else lose themselves in life?
What was your aha moment?
What have you done to prevent it again?

Answer: Yes I think we all do, but it's hard to find the balance between taking care of self and not being selfish (think you're doing well there). I plan out my week to make sure I'm getting done what I really want - try to keep my hair cut:) and try to do something for myself every couple of months without kids, and sometimes without husband, just me:)
