Mane Highlights for Friday, May 22, 2014

Hear Me Roar!: The humidity has really kicked in this week and I have the hair to prove it!

I had an interesting experience power walking with the kids in the double stroller.  A trucker actually honked at me.  Really?  How funny is it that my first thought was, "what did I drop" or "is my kid trying to escape?"

My first thought used to be "Ew," but that was also when I was marathon training in cute running outfits.  Now, I had three instant thoughts:

#1. You can't even SEE me behind my massive double stroller.    

#2. Mom Jeans (no, really, I have never worn these - not since the 80's at least.)  

#3. Humidity + Hair = Monica

Still really thankful my kid wasn't slinking out the side of the stroller!

 Perhaps you remember last month when we sent this letter to my son's Godfather after a freak fingernail to eye cornea accident:

Well, it turns out that incident was not quite so freakish...or at least not in our household.  I spent my Saturday morning being told by my eye specialist that I ALSO had a cut on my cornea after the baby's nail hit me just right (or wrong) as I was picking him up on Friday night.  I COULD NOT believe that this could have happened twice in two months by two different kids, to two different people in our house.  Ahhhhh!

We will now be requiring all guests to wear goggles throughout their visit for their own safety.

       I leave you with this until next week: In keeping with the theme of miscommunication and clarity, I just had to add one of my favorite skits: Mom Translator
