Evenings free

Hmmm....so I find myself for the first time in a long time with my evenings free. For the most part, since June I've been tackling homework every night of the week. It has paid off with now 6 total A's but I always knew what I had to do. It has been almost 6 months and now I find myself on a month long Christmas break. But I don't remember what I did before. I know I did something from 8-11pm every night. I must have! I don't think I just played video games the whole time. I guess now I need to rediscover what it's like to have evenings free.

I started losing my hair when I was 14. I didn't realize it until I was 16 but it has been in steady retreat the whole time. Each kid has increased the receding. Last night I gave myself a haircut* and cut it a bit shorter than I normally do because I wanted to put off another one as long as possible. This morning my kids hit me with some of that truth you never want to hear....

Adeena: "Dad, you got a haircut. You look weird."
Crickett: "They took all the hair on top of your head."

I love my kids. Luckily I decided a long time ago that I was going to take this all in stride and make the jokes first. They definitely beat me to the punchline this time.

*Michelle got me a haircutting kit 5-7 years ago and when your hair is as 'limited' as mine it's cheaper and easier to do it yourself. Plus, I haven't had to pay a dime for cutting Ethan's hair. :)
