Mama's new haircut
Whit has been sick for a few days, so Field has been going with my parents all day while I have been running the shop (except today, when Whit was well enough to keep up with Field, but not well enough to be handling other people's food). He is normally with me everyday, all day, so it has been different only seeing him for a while in the morning, and then a short time in the evening.
The decision to "stay at home" or not is such an individual one, and these last few days have really shown me that we have made the right one for us. I'm not really "at home" with Field, but I do have him on my hip probabally 90% of the time he is awake, whether we are at home or at the shop. Even though having him at the shop can be really challenging, it is worth all the work it takes. I am so very thankful that God had provided me with so much patience and an intense multi-tasking ability. I am so thankful to get to spend so much time with my beautiful baby boy.
Oh yeah, and I got a serious haircut! I am very excited about it, and I feel like it shows maturity on my part. Why, you ask? Well, I have finally let go of wanting long, sexy, movie-stylish hair and opted instead for a practical (and hopefully slightly stylish and sexy) haircut. A haircut that I can actually handle fixing on a daily basis, rather than ending up in a pony tail - not sexy when paired with yoga pants and no make-up 6 out of 7 days/week. Not falling into the "I'm a mom now, so I don't make time to take care of myself" (not to mention simultaneous business owner) trap is hard work! So far, so good!
very cute!! more power to ya about "staying at home" with Field! I've found with my friends and me, you either rock it or you hate it. My mom stayed at home with me and my sisters my whole life and I thank her for it everyday.
L-O-V-E the haircut!
