I'm so boring

Could I be more boring? I'm even boring myself. Some more boring randomness for you:

I went a little crazy with the scissors this week. I cut Naomi's hair into a 20's bob. She took one look in the mirror and her face lit up. She said "I look just like Roxy Hart!!" Then she sang the song from the movie- "Who said that murder's not an art..." Yeah. You can call CPS now.

Flush from my success cutting Naomi's hair, I turned the scissors on myself. I've always wanted a pixie cut. Now I have one. Sort of.

I'm on vacation again. I know, I know. What's with this girl and her endless vacations? But mothers know there's no such thing as a vacation, just the same old shit in a different location. I'm here alone with my girls for all of July. If any of you gals vacation (or live) near Pocono Pines, email me.

I am up here to do some Thinking and Planning. Also getting some Perspective and Space. Big changes are imminent. I find myself browsing for books like this.

I originally thought I'd come up here and have plenty of time to write. Uh huh. Keep dreaming.

Such cute hair!! Seriously. Very envious.

Yes, vacations for moms mean, pack everything, plan everything and take care of everyone somewhere else. We leave for a week on Thursday, and I am still going to be doing laundry, planning and cooking meals, and overseeing rugrats.

My parents are divorced. I lived through it. I actually saw my mother thrive because of it. Peace and clarity on whatever your decision is.

You should read thumbscrews, young mom that is embarking on a seperation. Wise and witty.

LOVE, love, love the haircut! Please post a pic of Naomi's, too.

I envy your space. A lot. I hope it brings you what you need from it.

I'm not "near" Pocono Pines, but it would be a three-ish hour drive. Definitely worth it to meet you in real life.

Hang in there my friend.

Never boring. Ever.

Nice hair (both of you). My parents divorced when I was 7. They both got remarried when I was 13. My mum had another child when I was 13. My sister (now 19) is my best friend. My step-dad is marvellous. My step-mum is a bit of a monster. But 2 wonderful additions to my life compared more than makes up for her shortfalls.

Don't worry about how your children might cope. At 7, I was well aware at how bad the relationship was between my parents and it was a relief that the rowing (both silent ignoring and vocal outbursts) stopped.

Love the haircuts, seriously gorgeous, wish I had such nice straight hair. I flip-flop between dealing with unruly curls or buzzing it all off.

My parents got divorced when I was 2.5 so I never knew any different than sharing houses. My partner's parents stayed together way too long, until she was 12. Long enough for her to remember just wishing they would get a divorce all ready. Long enough for her to see way too much of her father's ridiculous immature behavior and way too much fighting and aggression. I often wonder if she would have reconciled earlier with her father if her parents had divorced sooner, you know?

Mostly I think kids want their parents to be happy and there for them. My mother didn't really want to keep in touch with my father, but she did and kept it civil for the sharing custody.

You never really know how divorce is going to affect your kids either. My partner and I have already been together longer than my parents were married, so I can honestly say it didn't sour either of us on commitment.
