"New Me"

I had a good weekend. Despite lack of sleep and a VERY grumpy baby most of it.

I had my hair done. It looked/looks great, perhaps not as short as I orignally wanted. The hairdresser was great. He gave me some good advice, looked at what I wanted and then said what would look good for me and the kind of hair I have. He cut off loads of hair - it feel so much better and lighter. I can still tie it up if needed. The hairdresser was not your stero type male hairdresser. He was not gay, had tatoos and rides a motorbike. Really cool guy. I will def. be going back to him.

Here I am afterwards:

Seems that my hair has changed since being pregnant and having the kids. I have always had dead straight hair. I could never get it to curl but now the hairdreser told me I have wavy hair. I told him that it was only cos I always have it tied up, but he said it was wavy. This is the reason he did not cut it too short cos he was not sure how my hair would bounce up after the weight of the hair was cut off. Well I cannot believe how wavy my hair it now that I have washed it. I dont recognise myself.

On Sat we went to the birthday party of Lia, Gavin and Amanda's daughter. We stayed till late. It was great. Lia turned 9 and she wanted a stage in her bed room. So Gav made a stage for her with lights etc. Looked great. They gave her a PSP with the singstar game. So the kids spent the party on the stage singing. Stefi loved the party but she played in the girl's play house outside. (They live on the farm next to where we used to live and she is a only child).

Sun we went to a Hout Bay craft market - though it had rained in the morning so the market was half full of stalls and so a bit dissapointing. But we went for a scenic drive instead and had some lunch out. Josh was really grumpy so I did not really enjoy most of the day. Nothing seemed to keep him happy.

I asked DH is he would handle Josh if he woke last night, cos I am really finished from the sleepless nights. I had to ask DH cos his solution during the night was to go and share Stefi's bed so that Josh can sleep with me. But thing is he moves all over the place and can fall off the bed. GRRRR. So I kindly requested that he help me, thing is when I was a SAHM I did it all cos he was working. So now he is used to it. So DH agreed, though Josh only stirred a few times during the night. (just typical) I got up till DH came to bed and then he took over. Wow - I feel so much better for some sleep.
