I need a haircut

I desperately need a haircut but this decision is always surrounded by so many questions and feelings of doubt and insecurity. I need to get hip but what does that mean for an almost 40 woman on a Walmart budget? What kind of cut do I need? Will my hair type work with the styles I like? Will I look good? Who should I let cut it? Can I re-create this look after I leave the beauty shop with 3 kids running around,3 minutes to fix my hair and no fancy expensive salon type products to hold it in place? Can I still wear my cap after I get it cut and not look like a player on a collegiate softball team if you get my drift!? Can I hope that Pluto and Mars line up in the solar system so that time, money, an appointment and a babysitter all come together and gel at the right moment in the universe?

I was sharing my hair woes with my middle child the other day. Here was her solution. "Mommy, let me have some scissors and I will fix your hair. You just tell me where to cut!" Wo! Now that's a thought! I might be looking like her in the above pictures. LPie could introduce me "this is my mom, Scary Larry." I thanked her for the offer but said that she had to have a license to cut hair and that she was lacking the license.

For those of you that do not know, we have had a few "scalpings" in our family over the years. Puddin' has scalped LPie twice. Once playing beauty shop and the other to get gum out of the hair so I wouldn't notice the gum. I guess I wouldn't notice the absence of bangs and the new Billy Ray Cyrus mullet look. Hope you enjoy the beauty shop pictures that went terribly wrong! Happy Hair-cutting!
