Do I Deserve This??

Yesterday was quite a day! I certainly hope we don't
have a repeat anytime soon! lol

As usual Jaylan came to stay with me Friday
evening. When I woke up Saturday morning at 8:30
she was still asleep. I just rolled over and went back
to sleep, waking up at 9:30. I got up and went to the
bathroom. While sitting there Jaylan came in and I
noticed she had hair all over her arms. So it played
out like this....

Carmen: "Jaylan, you've got hair all over your arms
honey, where did that come from?"

Jaylan: "From the haircut."

Carmen: "Did you cut your hair again?"

Jaylan: "No Mimi, I cut yours!"

Carmen: "What??!!" I screamed as I slammed both
hands onto my head and started feeling my hair to
see how much I had left.

Carmen: "Where did you get the scissors?"

Jaylan: "I used my little scissors you got me at
Wal-Mart. They cut hairs really good Mimi."

OMG! Can you believe it?? After I got to looking
at my hair, she had cut a chunk out of the crown of
my head and left the hair about 3 inches long. She
cut a chunk out of the right side of my hair, cut
chunks out of the bottom of my hair in the back, and
made a nice straight cut along the base of my head,
making it almost look like a mullet!

There was hair on the bed, on the bench at the
foot of the bed, piled in the ashtray, in the floor,
in the trash can, and some even up under the
edge of the bed. Wow!! When it's all spread out
like that, it looks like A LOT OF HAIR!!!! lol

I knew spanking her would do no good. So for her
punishment she had to go home and can't come to
my house for a week, and she can't talk to me on
the phone. I'm hoping if she thinks I'm mad and
my feelings are hurt she'll remember this and
NOT do it again.

But, in all reality.... It's funny as all get out! Can
you imagine a 3 year old child cutting your hair?
She was so nonchalant about it all too, that's what
got me, she's not at all concerned.

Needless to say, everyone that knows what
happened thinks it's just hilarious. One guy got
so tickled he couldn't even talk to me, he just
kept giggling like a little girl!

I had to get my hair cut off, it went from being
about the middle of my back to being a bit
above my shoulders. That's all we could do to
make it look right. I'm telling ya, she really did
a number on me! And the wild thing is.... it's
not near as bad as it could have been!! :) It's a
darn good thing I love that little stink or I'd have
beaten her to a pulp! lol

Oooohhhh.... life with Jaylan is always an
adventure!!

He's Gone Again

My Mike went back to Colorado yesterday about
noon. He left two crying girls standing in the door
watching him drive away. Jaylan and I were both
boo hooing. Poor kid, she cried for probably a half
hour. She kept telling me she really needed to go
with Papaw, she kept saying, "Mimi, we get along
so good and I promise I won't be any trouble!
Please pack my clothes and tell my Mom I went
with Papaw."

I talked to Mike about midnight last night and
he was at the airport getting ready to leave for
the motel. He had to deal with the police before
leaving, someone had hit the company truck
while parked at the airport and he had to file
a report on it. He sounded very tired and
worn out.

We are getting some of Hurricane Gustav's
moisture today. It's been raining since
about 8 this morning and it doesn't look like
it's going to quit any time soon. It's been a
steady rain, not too hard. I'm hoping most
of it will soak in and not run off.

Our BBQ over the weekend was a great
success. Mike loved having all the
company and visiting with his family. The
Grandmonsters loved giving Papaw his
Birthday Cake! They were sooo excited!

All the kids played on the trampoline, in
the pools, and fished while the adults
visited and caught up on family news.
Everyone seemed to really enjoy
themselves. And the food.... oh my gosh!!
We had enough food left to feed an
army when we got done. I was afraid
I'd run out of meat, so I kept buying and
buying it.... we ended up having everyone
pack a goodie bag to take home with them
and still had food left. Oh well, better too
much than not enough.

I'm worn out today, draggy as all get out.
I think it's the weather. I keep wanting
to lay down and take a nap or watch tv...
if I start watching tv I'll take a nap anyway.

My 4-wheeler mechanic just called, he's on
his way to pick up our 4-wheeler for some
repairs. When he gets done with it, I should
have brakes once again. lol I learned how
to down shift to get stopped.... out of
necessity! lol

Take care!! TTFN
