Wake up and pay attention

This is for you men out there (not that I actually think any of you are reading this); how in the world can you be so unobservant?! I realize that all humans mainly only pay attention to that which is important to them, however, the fact that as a gender, you all seem to miss some pretty big stuff, I worry for the safety and care of our children! LOL

While there are a number of situation that bring this up, today was just a wonderful example. My husband, bless him, has always told me that he really likes my hair long and wants to keep it that way and anything above the shoulder blades would be too short. Enter today. I had a hair appointment, Tom knew about said appointment and we had even discussed my upcoming hair cut. Typically I just go in for a trim and leave it at that (I do not spend much time doing my hair, so style has never been a big issue for me). However, this time and in advance I told Tom I was considering going a bit shorter. The ends are dry and damaged, it's too hot, etc.

So, I did it, and it ended up being a bit shorter than I was thinking, although not bad, but instead of the 2-3"we discussed it was closer to 5". I am okay with this, I think this is healthier for my hair and I know it will grow back, etc. But I was sure Tom was going to be upset when he saw it. I know it is shorter than he likes. But I have now spent nearly 3 hours in front of him, cooking, eating dinner, going shopping at Costco, standing around talking, and he has yet to notice the lack of length. Seriously? How is that even possible?!

Not that it really matters. Well, actually, I consider this good, I really didn't want him to be upset. I just continue laughing at how one can protest to care so much about it and then completely miss it! I'm sure he will notice eventually and then it will be even funnier! 

No news on the baby front, we are just waiting for the orientations that are all coming up and the refi on the house to see what options we even have. 

I am VERY excited for my 30th birthday later this week and the party this weekend! I haven't had an actual "party" for my birthday since I was 16, so this will be a lot of fun. 

Thanks again for listening!
