And, seriously, how AMAZING does it feel when it all goes off seamlessly? Like when the baby plays contentedly for exactly the right amount of time to let you make your toddler's preschool lunch, do their hair in pigtails, and help them get dressed into an outfit of their choosing that doesn't make them look like an extra from Annie, and then falls asleep in the car on the way BACK from preschool drop-off and doesn't wake up during the transfer from car to house? I"m telling you Daphne, it IS the small things...and these are them.

Oh no! That's why I can't have pets that would happen to me. Maegan, 4 hours for a single process? well, if it's your first time back, but as a long time "two process" gal it shouldn't take that long normally.

I usually get my 6 year old to smell it. If it smells orangey, it should be washed...cuz that means I filled it with some kind of gunky goo and I should clean that out before it gets really gross. If I wash it every night I would have to replace the shampoo every week...Daphne, I had my hair professionally re-blonded for the first time last summer (I used to be blonde, then I had kids and apparently pregnancy makes me brunette!). The stylist (a family friend who doesn't usually charge me full price) said I used up 32 OUNCES of bleach to get all my hair done...and it's only about as long as yours. Maybe a tad longer. She didn't charge me full price, but she got a HUGE tip, b/c I was in her chair for 4 hours.

So much that when I go to my cheapy blow places most try to make me pay an extra $5 bucks. It's how I can get away with NOT washing my hair for days ( after I have a pro blow dry that is) I like to say I have the hair of dog. Good luck!!

What's that smell?" Nice tip! I'll try not to attempt it too often!
