Shampoo Free Day 4

No baking soda, yes to vinegar... Hair seemed harder to manage, but looks and feels fine an hour and a half later...
That is all,
Blessed Be

Shampoo Free Day Three

Didn't shower yesterday, but my son did brush my hair, and he said my hair was less tangled. Today, Monday, I did "wash" with baking soda, and rinse with vinegar. Same son, because I only have one, said that it smelled kinda vinegar-y. However, once dry, it was OK. I did not do it the same way I usually do, but it seemed OK. 

As I am getting ready to go to bed, it does feel a little strange, but I am sticking with it, at least until something terrible happens!

When My Grrrl gets home, I am going to get my hair trimmed, we will see what difference that might make?

That is all, 

Blessed Be

Lyrics

All This Time by One Republic

All this time,
we were waiting on each other.
All this time,
I was waiting on you.
We got all these words,
Can't waste em on another.
So, Im straight in a straight line,
running back to you.

Not sure where I found these, but they seem fitting with the changes to the marriage laws in our city last week!

Fu*k It, Let's Make Wine Round 4 ( I think)

This was supposed to be from LAST Sunday. There should have been pics documenting the start of it,but  I guess not. If I can find them, I will post them. I will also check on the "wine" because that is what I was planning to do, once a week... It depends on how I feel later!

Trying Something New

Yesterday I started washing my hair with baking soda only, and rinsing it with vinegar. I did it before we went to Nana's. We drove Marie home. With all of that driving, I was wind blown, but not any worse than normal. Since I was sweaty, and going out to dinner with friends I took another quick shower, and rinsed with vinegar again, and then I used a tiny bit of product in my hair. Since it is still hot,and I do not have AC in my van, I was a bit windblown when I got to dinner, but again. no worse than normal. I am super tired today, so I don't know if I will even shower, but since I do not need to do the baking soda daily, that might be OK.

That is all for now.

My Sister

There have been issues in my (our) lives because of my mother and sister, and as hard as it is. I know that I have to step back and let her go.

 

Luckily for me, I have wonderful (most of the time) kids, and an amazing, giving, loving, caring, smart, funny, pretty, handy, crafty and all around AWESOME  wife to keep me full of life and love and support and smiles.

 

My heart is full. My heart will always be full, it just depends on what I choose to fill it with. Not anger, not bitterness, nothing negative... Only joy. That is how I command it to be!

 

Oh, and my thimble!

 

Blessed Be!

Dear Danielle...

Since you are five years younger than me, you and I had different childhoods. Yes, you were exposed to the yelling, and what happened it me, however, by the time that you were old enough, mom had "smartened up", and didn't hit you the way that she hit me. She treated you so differently than she treated me.

 

SHE BEAT ME, Danielle, do you remember that at all? She hog tied me with a jump rope when I was in the 7th grade, so I would see what it would be like if she had to put me in the children's mental hospital...

 

You talk about emergencies and bailing her out... You do it then. I can't. I feel bad for her and the situation that she is in, but mostly I feel bad that she hasn't learned for her life choices, and the help that has been offered to her by BOTH OF US.

 

Her asking to live in a "corner of my garage" is emotional blackmail... She knows that Marie just moved out, so there seems that there is an extra room in my house. What kind of monster would I be, if there was in fact a spare room and I did make her live in a "corner of my garage"?

 

Plus, her "I'll only live in a corner" is B.S. and we both know it. She sprawls... I imagine that is one of the issues that Joe has with her.

 

Bottom line, you are in a MUCH better place to take her. Credit card debt or not, you and John EACH make more than I do...You have no kids and an actual spare room... Plus mom doesn't hate John. And yes, vise versa...

 

Why she didn't ask you in the first place, is beyond me.

 

Was she trying to cause issues in my life? Because that IS what would happen.

 

My answer is no, I have told her so, and she has responded.

 

If this causes issues with you and or her, I cannot help that. I have to protect my family unit and my sanity. Having her in my home, is not protecting those things...

 

To sum it up, and shine a light on it... Having her live with me... posses the same problems as her living with her mother. Does that make it clear why I cannot do it?
