Locks of love

Yesterday I

Mopped my floors.

Did two loads of laundry.

Had lunch with my mom.

Donated a foot of my hair.

All my life I've had long, thick, curly hair

. By long I mean always a good few inches below my shoulders.

 Let's just admit it up front, I have chubby checks!

Always had those also.

Bummer!

That's why I've never cut my hair short,

 it just makes my face seem 10x chubbier!

When I was pregnant with Nathan my hair grew like wild flowers in an open meadow!

It was outta control from those prenatal vitamins!

And when he was 3 months old I decided to donate my hair to Locks of Love.

It left my hair just past my shoulders,

 the shortest it had ever been.

I cried as I drove home because my face looked so chubby,

but it was done, so why cry?

I did a selfless thing.

 I just kept telling myself that.

And of course my hair grew back.

I even started to like it shorter.

Now after a year on prenatal vitamins again my hair was long.

This long...

So I worked up the courage and donated it again!

It was easier this time, because I know in a few short months it will be longer.

I gave 12 inches, yup a whole ruler! 

 I feel great about it.

 Someone out there will be so happy to get that hair.

And when I straighten my hair,

 I think I really might actually like it!

See Sydney? She slept just like that the whole time!
