She wouldn't do that, or would she?

I know what you're thinking..
What is that?
Dog hair? No doesn't match the color of our furbabies.

Barbie/Baby doll Hair? No the barbies are packed up still, and babies are bald.

Hmmmm...

I did the same when I saw this pile of mess HIDDEN in the trashcan, (in between the liner and the can)
As you know by this  post, I was feeling a great bit under the weather for a couple days. We were taken out by a sickness, completely taken down by some unknown virus, just cowardly enough to take out both responsible adults at the same time!!

I worried about 7 kids taking care of themselves while I was passed out sweating off fevers, but had full faith that the aliens teens would help watch and care for the younger two.  Our lil Monkey Princess was also sick at home with both Mr. Amazing and me all week. To be honest I wasn't even aware of the fact i had kids on Wednesday I was just that sick.

So imagine my surprise when I finally made it back to planet earth begin to try to clean the house. Everything looked normal, and when the trash was bagged to be taken out, there was a pile of this at the bottom. So nicely hidden, hoping that Mom wouldn’t find it.


Really what is it? And then slowly it dawns on me... NO NOT AGAIN, She wouldn't?!


I really should not have been surprised this has only been attempted by her 5 times now!! By Wednesday afternoon, children's Motrin had kicked in and she was apparently restless.


We have had the "talks" about how she shouldn't cut her own hair. We've hidden scissors,and tried to make it all but impossible for these things to happened. We even took Our Lil Monkey Princess to have her hair cut, when she really wanted it a few months ago, hoping to starve off another one of these moments.  I really thought at the age of 7 this was behinds us, a few moments for the baby book, or even stories to tell the future husband. when he wakes up with a shaved head


So I had to know, why? Why would Our Lil Monkey Princess who has beautiful Dark locks, that are envied by so many others, want to chop them off?? I am guessing you want to know too right?











So i asked, and guess what she said to defend herself? .....


SHE WAS BORED. She cut 9 inches of hair off the top her head about 3 inches wide because she was without self entertainment while I was sick!!!


So nine inches cut off her hair, made for 9 days of grounded from her brand new birthday present.

Next time I feel a little under the weather, I am calling in reinforcements before I'm taken down (and hiding all sharp objects in the house!)
