What Happens When You Get A Haircut

So I decided to start dying my hair to get rid of grays in April.  I didn't go back till last week.  It takes a lot of scheduling to get your hair done when you're a mom.  You go on the weekends.  Or on the husband's day off.  Or you get a babysitter.   My hair lady is only doing hair on Mondays and Fridays.  So I need to get a babysitter.  Problem is that we don't have family nearby.  And most of our friends work.  So I called my mom.  And she said that was fine.  Luckily, she has every other Friday off.  So I went and got my hair done.  And when she showed up to watch the little guy, my step dad was with her.

So I got my hair done.  And afterward, I sent this picture to my husband.  I asked him if he liked.  He was more worried about the cost. Then when I got my home, the grandparents asked me if they could take the big kid for the weekend.  So I texted hubby. It was his weekend off.  And he texted me back with "Only if they take both boys."  So I offered a counter offer.  And they accepted.  So they stayed till after our 4-h foods meeting.  Then after everyone left, Hubby started packing.  He told me that we were headed to Vegas.   Definitely a perk of living in Southern California.  Anyways we get up there.  And I had plans to sleep.  My husband wanted to play.  So we did a little of both. The first night we gambled a bit.  I won $40 playing the slots. Hubby made $8 at the tables.  Then the next day, we went shopping.


 And we went to see a couple of hubby's high school friends. They just had a new baby.  And it definitely helped with the baby fever.  Then we went back to the hotel and got dressed.  And then we literally walked the strip. We planned on watching the Treasure Island show and the Mirage volcano.  And after we missed all the shows on the strip.  We decided to get something to eat.  When you go away for the weekend, the diet goes out the window.  So I googled the best burger on the strip. And one of the top 5's was right across the street from us.  So we ate dinner.  Which was probably the best burger I've ever eaten. Then we walked back to the hotel.  And drank a little.  Gambled a little.  And then slept in till 8.   And yes.  8 for us is sleeping in.  Then we went to brunch and headed home.   It was a nice get away.  And we should probably do it more often.  I just hate to be away from my boys.  It almost causes anxiety attacks over having them gone.  Afterall, Rionn has allergies and Jet is my non verbal, small, stubborn kid.

We were doing really good with traffic until we hit state line.  My parents live 2 hours past us.  So when we hit traffic at state line I rechecked the navigation.  And it took us through the middle of the desert.  And saved us 40 minutes.

Maybe I should get my hair done more often.  Maybe.  But all in all, it was a good weekend.  And all reports from the boys indicate they had a good weekend too.
