I sure am glad I didn't wash my hair

Yesterday I really should have washed my hair, but after a day of taking care of a sick baby, all I could manage to do was wash the bod. And don't worry, Garrison is feeling much better. He had another clogged tear duct so his eye was all grossy and goopy and he slept about 1/2 the day. I was afraid it had something to do with all his congestion and was maybe even the dreaded pink eye. But, alas it was not. And when I got him out of his crib this morning, no more crusty eye! Yay!

So back to the hair...after feeding him this morning I burped him and then we were sweetly cuddling on the couch UNTIL a HUGE volume of spitup landed on my hair. Gross. And the thing is, he spits up on me all the time, but never that amount ALL matted up in the hair. SO if want to hang out today, I can't. I'll be washing my hair :)

You should also know that today is THE last week day that Garrison will be not be in daycare. I'm taking him in on Monday for a few hours so I can get a lot of the crying over with before I actually start work on Tuesday. MAN OH MAN. Next week is going to be a rough one. BUT, the good news is that today I was having some quiet time thinking about everything and realized that I need to be GRATEFUL for the 12 weeks that I have been able to spend with my sweet boy. I made the decision this afternoon that I will be grateful rather than sad. And today that perspective is working for me. Tomorrow may be a different story...

I know how you feel, Marley starts daycare on Monday too! But I sure do like your idea of being grateful for the time I've had with her this summer. Thanks for the new perspective :)

Hope all is going well! Garrison really is a cutie! Good Luck Monday, I'll be thinking of you when I drop Marley off...
