But mom! You need your hair!

I have been going through our stuff and donating a lot of things lately.  My kids have kind of gotten use to the idea (though they still worry that I'm giving away something they want or need, silly kids!)  Anyhow, I mentioned to Melanie that I was going to donate my hair.  Donate your hair?  What?  I explained to Melanie that some people are really sick and don't have any hair, so I'm going to give my hair to someone that needs it.  Of course, both my girls got upset by this notion.  "But Mom!  You need your hair"  was Noelle's response. 

 

Even with their objections, I decided I was going to do it.  I had made the decision to grow it out with that intent, and I meant it.  This is the longest my hair has ever been... EVER.  It has been fun to braid and learn new buns.  I really enjoyed it.  But it was time.  So, here you go. This is what it looked like before.

 See... longest it has ever been. 

 And here I am now!  (This isn't the after photo that I took yesterday.  I liked my hair yesterday, but I LOVE it today, so I went with today's photo).

Melanie has decided that she loves my hair and is even considering cutting hers short (we'll see).  Noelle misses my braids.  Personally, I really think she misses the length because it was a fun toy for her.  She really enjoyed playing with my hair.

 

Thank you, Jen Ray, for the wonderful hair cut!  There are no regrets! :)
