The Mommy 'Do

Somehow, most moms end up with the same hairstyle. Medium-shortish. Usually brown or another boring natural shade. Quick to dry. Still can be put up when needed. Easy. BORING.

What does my hair look like? Medium-shortish. Brown.

I attempted to get the "in style" bangs to at least mask the mommy 'do. It worked for a while, but, like trees, hair grows. I haven't seen my stylist since...possibly February? Sad. Very sad. Needless to say, I'm overdue. Luckily, Karen will be put to work tomorrow at 12:45pm. Little does she know that, as of now, I plan on marching in and saying "do what you want" and letting her go to work. She hates me for it, and I love her for it.

Do I let it grow and just get a trim? Or do I get a few inches taken off and be brave? This is a momentous decision. The pressure is unbearable. Do I go with the theory that you have more options with longer hair? Or accept the fact that short hair dries quickly and is lighter for summer.

Chris is no help. "I like it all ways" is his stock hair-question answer. Smart man. Do I believe him? No. Will that effect (affect?) my decision? No.

I guess Karen is my only hope. I'm guessing I'll have two more chances to get my hair done before BBP shows up. She has two chances to make me happy. Her success rate is 100% so I suppose I'm in good hands. Now, what will she choose? I guess, with BP as an accessory (yes, I just called my child an accessory, I carry her more than a purse), I'm doomed to have a mommy 'do forever. I might as well just accept my fate.
