Free at Last

Today I took Jenna to Mothers Day Out for the first time. I was proud of myself for putting her in earlier than I did with Julia. (But I am enough of a weenie to only put her in one day a week. We'll probably both be ready for two by the fall.)

So I'm walking around Target today fighting back tears. I don't know why. She was so happy when I left her. Walking around, looking at toys. She'll be fine.

And for the first time in a long time, I have a day to myself. I have bathrooms that need cleaning and laundry to deal with. So what am I going to do today? What any other extraordinarily vain woman would do. I'm striping my hair.

I got a hair color kit where you dye it and then stripe it. I usually leave such adventurous appearance changes to the pros, but today I need something to distract me and keep both hands busy for a while. So striped hair, it is.
