The girls were busy wrapping presents and set down the scissors. For some reason Oliver thought this would be a good time to try his hand at hair cutting. He cut to the scalp, right in the front. Of course it was 8:00 p.m. and things were already crazy as I tried to get everyone to bed. But we had to make a quick trip to Great Clips. Not much that could be done, but I didn't trust myself to get it completely even when it had to be so short. The guy cutting his hair suggested that I should have left it for a few days. Judging from how silly he acted when I had him tell Tyler over the video chat, he was probably right. Hopefully we won't have a "next time" to try out that suggestion.

Internal Clocks
I've decided that all of us must have some kind of internal clock adjusted to when Tyler is usually home. He's gone a lot, but usually not more than 5 weeks at a time. It seems like now that we've passed up that mark, things are getting MUCH more difficult. Lots more tantrums, emotional break downs, and the latest...

I feel your pain. I did this for four months last year and wanted to throw myself in front of a bus after a while. I just kept thinking of how glad I was that I wasn't a single parent and how hard they really do have things. When does Tyler finish?
All I can say is be glad he's a boy!
