Cut It or Keep It?

The Cons of having Long Hair

Ever since the 5th grade, I had short hair up till about 8th grade. I loved it because it was very easy to tend to and didn't get caught in anything. My little sister was born in 2012, when I still had short hair. It was a marvelous time because she couldn't grab at what wasn't there.

 As she grew older, she did start to yank and pull at stuff but it wasn't really till the boys were born that I started to have a problem.

During 8th grade year, I had a friend who decided to grow out his hair, cut it and donate it. That inspired me to try and do the same thing.

So far I have not achieved that goal ( especial since I've dyed it).

Not so long after that decision, my parents surprised every they were having another baby only to find out it was twins! At the point the boys were born, I had just gotten out of 8th grade and it was almost summer. I have to admit, I did not like the stages my hair grew out in but as it kept growing longer and longer, and the boys started growing older and older, it most definitely got yanked.

Although I can't get every glorious shot of me shrieking in pain and my brothers and sister laughing at me, it most definitely is funny when I do get a great shot like this one.

Now that the boys are going through terrible 2's, I really have to watch those little hands getting tangled up and grabbing a fist full of hair. I've learned to always try to keep it up and out of their way or at least not get very close to them when they are grumpy and not happy with me. The only problem with lazy mornings like this, is that I will most definitely end up getting hurt!

Kids shows

Their Favorite Shows Are Secretly Mine Too

We all have have our favorite TV show whether it's Grey's Anatomy, The Walking Dead or Game of Thrones, but so do little kids. With there being three of them in my house hold and them being so young, there are always the same three shows on with an exception of a few others. These shows being Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol and PJ masks. It's on so much that I've memorized the songs and sometimes while I'm at school, I will randomly get them stuck in my head and have to refrain from singing it out loud. Even those little songs side songs or tunes that get  played throughout the episode.

A show that they used to watch when the kids were younger was Daniel Tiger. Everyday, every hour they could, that show was always on. Out of kids shows that my siblings watch, that one was one of my favorites. They were really able to soak in each lesson that specific episode was trying to teach. I’m able to sing the little jingle (because those got burned into my head too) whenever the kids start to act up and they immediately understand and switch the way they were acting… with a little help since toddlers are very persistent.  

After watching these episodes over and over again while mom is upstairs cleaning and dad making dinner, you evently start subconsciously learning and remembering things that come up in episode. I’ve learned all the characters names, favorite things, and things they hate. For example, in Paw patrol, one of the pups names is Rocky. He is the recycling pup, color of his pup car is green, and he hates water. I even know a lot of lines that each character says on a certain episode.

Even sometimes on weekends, when the kids go down for a nap, the TV is left on and I'm downstairs alone. My mom will come down to find me still sitting on the couch watching what ever was left on. Hey! I need to find out if the Paw Patrol save the baby turtles!

No matter what, I’ll always get one of the cartoons songs stuck in my head, know the show by heart and get caught watching it by myself but I will always be right next to them watching the newest episode of their favorite TV show.
