Who says that you have to wait until the New Year to start a-new?

Today was a normal day, besides the fact that I had to take my daughter down to the DMV and sit there in that germ infested hell hole and wait for over an hour to be called to the window and try to correct a mistake that they made when registering our car here in the great state of C-A. Our car is registered properly now- moving on.

Cadence was her normal mischievous, inquisitive, energetic self. Throwing herself on the floor at every turn and having tantrums because… well, because she feels like it. What? I can’t play in the toilet- I’ll throw myself on the floor. **rolling my eyes**

When Chris got home from work, I called him over to the bathroom mirror and asked him to help me cut. Now, he thought I was talking about cutting away the few knotty/nappy stray pieces of hair sticking out of my head. When I pointed to a specific location on my back he said “You want me to cut your hair?….. (pause) Oookay” Snip, snip, snip. “It’s just hair” I tell him, it will grow back.

Today, a mother lay her not even one month old daughter Cora to rest. Here I am bitching and moaning about how much California sucks, how much Cadence is running my life and how “bad” she is going to be when she’s older and how much she “doesn’t listen.” While a mother, my Twitter friend, is grieving the loss of her child….

Being home, alone, all day has really allowed me to take a look at myself- what I like, what I don’t like & want to change and what I would like to have. This is just a step in that process. Cutting my hair reminded me not to sweat the small stuff and to remember to thank God for everything. I got into the shower after I cut my hair and I was taken back to that place I was at in 2003 after I shaved it off. I let the water run through my short hair and I just said a not-so-silent prayer to God. Thanking Him, asking Him for continued guidance and to continue His work in me- because I know it’s not done.

It’s a new start. A New Year’s resolution in December. We’ll see where this takes me.

I’ll show you the finished product after I actually do my hair!
