Alternate title: More Panic! Still no disco.
So.
I went to trim about an inch off of the ends of Goat #2’s hair. You know, cut 4 minutes of disentanglement from our nightly ritual and have all that extra time to myself, right?
And.
She jerked her head just as I was making the first cut.
And.
Now she has a shoulder-length bob thing going on.
So.
When Goat Daddy gets home tonight, I’m going to either be killed or divorced.
So.
It’s been great knowing you.
Wait.
Maybe he won’t notice. What do y’all think?
The visible shoulder blades are probably a dead giveaway, huh?
Never mind. I’m a dead woman. Oh, well. It only took me 33 minutes to wash and dry it; that’s 38 extra minutes all to myself before I leave this earthly plane, right?

Waltz In Exile 
OMG – NOOOOOOOOOOOO…I might help him….
Comment by Heather 2 December 2008 @ 9:20 pmWait, no hair grows, really it does, in this span of things this won’t matter – five years from now you won’t remember this – that is what I meant to say, yeah…
OMG – WHAT DID YOU DO?????
Oh, dude. DUDE! Um. My condolences.
But seriously, it’s hair. It grows back.
But put it in a bun. Quick, before he gets home!
Comment by Steph 2 December 2008 @ 9:40 pmOh Steph – she was just telling me she could pull that off for months so he would never know – your timing is hilarious!
Comment by Heather 2 December 2008 @ 9:43 pmWhen I was 5 I cut off a pigtail. An ENTIRE PIGTAIL.
This is NOTHING.
Comment by bejewell 2 December 2008 @ 9:57 pmOMG!! What happened to the plan we hashed taking her to a kids hairdresser and having it layered like Muirne’s???
Comment by kd@abitsquirrelly 2 December 2008 @ 11:37 pmIt still looks adorably cute and girly from that side! It’ll either grow or grow on him! 😉
Comment by foradifferentkindofgirl (fadkog) 2 December 2008 @ 11:38 pmi would cut my own damn hair if i could. well, in fact I have. that turned out well as the GFYO’s kinda-cool kinda-really bad skater boy hairdo.
Curly hair (mine) offers favors. You’re good.
Comment by mspickettoyou 3 December 2008 @ 12:17 amSee? You could totally have watched almost a whole episode of True Blood with that 38 minutes.
Comment by Cynical Nymph 3 December 2008 @ 11:25 amSince we are dealing with the Locks of Love growth at our house (how freakin’ long can it take to grow 10 freakin’ inches?!), I for one am INSANELY jealous! And I think its cute.
Comment by Stacy 3 December 2008 @ 2:31 pmAnd this is why I never ever ever will ever cut my own child’s hair ever ever no not ever again!
Seriously though, it doesn’t look that bad. And at the rate hair grows, especially little kid hair, it’ll be back in no time!
Comment by Auds at Barking Mad 3 December 2008 @ 4:07 pmIt looks fantastic! My mom kept my hair cut in a bob just below my ears forever because it was such a hassle to comb and fix. I still have to be convinced to grow it much longer.
Comment by shaggerty 3 December 2008 @ 9:52 pmReading over the other comments, I do need to jump in and add my voice to the “I think it looks really cute” contingent.
What did Goat Daddy have to say about the whole business?
Comment by Cynical Nymph 4 December 2008 @ 10:33 amOh, pishposh. It’s hair. Now it will look even better in two ponytails. And I’m willing to bet that the Goat enjoyed those extra 38 minutes, too. Tell him you intend to use those 38 minutes for “Other Things” and I bet the complaining will stop.
Comment by aliasmother 4 December 2008 @ 11:07 amI am so excited, I am your 14th comment. I read your post yesterday, but haven’t posted since…are you still alive?
Comment by TracyB 4 December 2008 @ 7:15 pmCrap, I just saw you got 15 on your last post (11/27). I was all excited about being the 14th commenter, now you are tied with 15 on two posts. Maybe I will leave another later just so you have 16. See what happens when I stop lurking!
Comment by TracyB 4 December 2008 @ 7:17 pmAnd someone said she never gets any comments.
Comment by Sam Page 5 December 2008 @ 12:46 amHer hair is so pretty. I have a kid with thick tangly hair and the washing and combing of it sucks. It wouldn’t be so bad without all the screaming though.
Comment by blissfully caffeinated 6 December 2008 @ 1:56 pmGod, what gorgeous hair and from the back it looks pretty cute. You ever know, he might actually like it better!
Comment by Izzy 8 December 2008 @ 11:43 amI think it looks good! If your hubby gives you problems, I’ll be happy to kick his ass for you.
Comment by Tranny Head 11 December 2008 @ 12:12 am[…] figured out: if I ask for comments, I don’t get them. I have to do something outrageous, like cut the baby’s hair, to get comments out of you people. Well, I can’t do THAT again, sorry; I’m not […]
