This just reeks of phish to me… and yes, I do mean PHISHING… Late last night/early this morning, I couldn’t get onto my Twitter account from my iPhone. I usually check my tweets before I go to bed, no idea why.. but I do.. Anyway… I couldn’t figure out why TweetDeck kept telling me I couldn’t tweet. I went and tried logging on via the website, and couldn’t. I knew I was typing in my password correctly, so that couldn’t be it… I reset my password anyway, and got in. Well, this morning, I get downstairs and find this email in my inbox (click on it to make it larger):
I find it very strange that Twitter would send out emails telling me to change my password due to a possible phishing attempt…. WITH A LINK ON IT!!! Sure, it looks official, and the from, etc look legit.. but are they really??? And me?? a phishing attempt?? I don’t click on links in emails. I don’t enter my passwords into weird websites… I’m extremely cautious when it comes to online security.. so even being sent this is weird to me…
If you got one of these, and used it to change your password, I’d highly suggest going back to TWITTER and changing your password directly on that site. Just my 2 cents 
UPDATE: Thanks to @RealLifeSheri for showing me this Mashable article… http://mashable.com/2010/02/02/twitter-under-phishing-attack/ Apparently it is a legit email, but the part that scares me is that if this email looks legit, what is stopping the real phishers from making an email that looks exactly like this. If you get emails with links in them, don’t follow them to change your password. Even the most legitimate looking email could be a phishing attempt… That’s the point.. They try to trick you. If you feel your account may have been compromised, go directly to the site that you know, and change your password through them rather than a link in email…
As much as I love blogging about my workouts on my main blog, I’m thinking it’s time to move them over to my personal blog for now. I am going to do a lot more blogging, and since I’m not actually “reviewing” anything but my own fat ass, I would love to make as many comments in whatever language I want… and I can only do that here. Should I happen to come upon any cool fitness products to actually review, I’ll post them on Mommy Brain Reports.. but until then… Let’s commence the fitness stuff.
So, last week was a hard week for me. I had so many things hit me over the past few weeks, that I think I kinda had a melt down on Thursday evening. I won’t go into detail about the previous things, because, well, they have to do with some people that I’ve worked with, and I can’t divulge that information publicly.. Just say that I found out some shit that didn’t sit well with me… It’s over now… The culmination of my disappointment came when I found out that I didn’t get chosen as one of the #mamavation moms. Yes, I’ll admit it… I don’t take defeat very well sometimes.. but only when it comes to things I really truly feel that I need. So, I lost. Do I sound like a whiney pain in the ass? lol. Well, the winners are two very amazing and deserving people, and I know they’ll do so well over the next 7 weeks. As Leah said… Their asses are hers.. LOL. She’ll whip them into shape…
So anyway, as I was wallowing in my own self pity… I set myself to cleaning house. I actually got so much done that I had neglected over the last few weeks while lobbying for votes.. I was pretty proud of myself. I pretty much stayed off of Twitter, and the interwebs in general. Hubby thought I was sick. No, I wasn’t.. Just finally focusing on something else besides my hypnotizing 24″ Apple iMac. *teehee* Anywho… I finally jump on my Tweetdeck, and see a tweet @’ing me… It was from a fellow blogger, and she actually wrote about me in her post. She mentioned how she had heard me and @DaddyClaxton on the Wii Mommies Blog Talk Radio Show, talking about our hike up Runyon Canyon, and how we really pushed each other to get up that hill. It was then that I realized that I wasn’t the only one in this situation.. meaning needing to lose weight… and that people are actually watching me, following me, and looking up to me. I’ve never felt like…. so… not important… but I’m having a hard time thinking up a more fitting word.. I snapped out of my funk and get my ass in gear.
I remembered a package of office products I had received from a party at BlogHer. Office Max I think gave them out. It had file folders and other random office-y things. It happened to have a journal in it. I immediately made it my fitness journal. Sure, I have this blog, or my iPhone, but you know, there’s something about having a paper and pen that makes it more interesting to me. Like I have to write in it.. No paper can be left blank! LOL. Plus, it’s something I can carry with me, in my purse… Yes, my purse is big. I decided to write down anything that I ate or drank, and every bit of exercise I did. Guess what? It worked. I did excellent… and it made me actually think about how much I was going to eat.
I was on a conference call with Pete Cohen on Sunday night. He’s giving us Mamavation moms 30 days of free fitness consulting… and I’m loving it. Anyway, one of our goals was to think more about what we want vs. what we need. Writing down everything I ate and drank really kept me thinking more about what I needed. Sure, I still had a couple of gummy bears, because I wanted them… but I only had a couple to kick that sweet tooth rather than the whole damn bag. See!?!?! Progress. (yeah)
So anyway… about the changing channels thing. We have Time Warner Cable… I hate them.. really I do.. but I have no choice but have them for cable and my internet. Well, I may have found my little light as to why I should keep them. On Demand. Yes.. I said it.. On Demand.. You know.. that little thing you can do with your digital cable box that lets you sit and watch just about any show you missed over the last few weeks? Well, I found a channel that I can’t just sit and watch. Exercise On Demand… It has so many various workouts, categorized under the type of what body part it would be best for working out. There’s even the strip tease aerobics.. Yes, I tried it, and I liked it.. LOL Damn thing had my legs burning by the time I finished my 24 minute workout. Sure it all culminates to a 60 second dance.. but you do it so many times you feel those muscles burning. There was also a walking show where I walked a mile in only 15 minutes. Granted, I’m walking in my own living room, but add in some hand weights and a few extra movements with the steps and DAMN! I was feeling it. All in all, I did about an hour of these little workouts… I felt good at the end. These workouts were so short, and easy to spread out over the day that I totally loved them… and for anyone who’s wondering, I did wait until my girls were upstairs before I even attempted those strip tease aerobics classes…. I don’t need them even seeing those… not that it was really stripping, but not that I’d really be taking my clothes off during a workout… unless it was Summer time and it was really really hot… Oh nevermind…

**Note: I started this post on Friday Jan 15th…
So, this morning was a shitty morning. I’m not going to lie. Hubby got up and went to work as usual, waking me up just before he went downstairs to warn me that the girls were already awake.
I didn’t think this morning would be so much trouble, but it was… and here’s how I handled it.. Tell me if you could do better.. really.
So as I got out of bed, out of my warm electric blanketed bed, my girls asked if they could have my iPhone. Typically it’s not an issue. But this morning, it changed everything.
I let Monkey Do play with it for a bit as long as she promised to share it with Monkey See. I told them to sit tight, and let me take a very quick shower… Usually my showers are very quick… I’m all about water conservation ya know! Anyhow, I get into the shower, start washing my hair, and the I hear fighting. I told Monkey Do to put my iPhone on the bathroom counter. Little did I know that that request was going to change the course of my morning. Monkey Do didn’t have my phone, so in order to get it from her sister, instead of asking for it, like any normal person, I hear this wailing cry. I jump out of the shower, soap still in my hair, and Monkey See is walking towards me crying.
“Sister bit me” she tells me..
I flip.
“Where did she bite you?”
Monkey See lifts up her shirt to reveal a nasty bite mark just below her chest.
wow.
I yelled for Monkey Do, who conveniently took off for her bedroom… I showed her Monkey See’s chest, and just couldn’t really hold back. I got angry, I yelled, and I sent her to her room. Oh she knew I was mad. She knew I was very mad. I let her sit in her room for a while and think about it. I finished my shower, dried off, and got dressed. Monkey See was laying in my bed, still sniffling, so I checked on her. Yup, her chest was definitely going to bruise. I asked her why her sister bit her..> She told me it was because she wouldn’t give back the iPhone… Oh great.. so I indirectly caused this?? UGH! I called Monkey Do back to my room… more like yelling at her, but that’s beside the point… I showed her what she did to her sister and asked her if she would like it if her sister did that back to her. Of course the answer was no… I sent her back to her room, told her to sit on her bed and plan on staying there most of the day…. Oh the flood gates opened. Sure I didn’t mean that she’d really stay there all day, but she didn’t know that.
I sat with Monkey See for a while, talking to her about all the great things having a sister means, and having a TWIN sister to boot! I explained how I didn’t like seeing them fight, and how biting is always a no-no, etc etc etc… After few minutes of talking I took her into her bedroom to sit with Monkey Do and gave her the same speech. As I talked to her, I mentioned the time when she was bit in the arm by another girl at the gym, and told her to remember how badly that hurt. I showed her Monkey See’s chest, and told her to think about it happening to her all over again… That’s what her sister felt… Finally, I had her look her sister in the eye, and apologize. They gave each other the biggest hug.. Ah to be young and sisters…
And they never fought again… yeah right…
Christmas was so much fun here. Even though we were completely across the country from our entire family, we tried to make Christmas as much like it would’ve been as if we were home. It started off on Christmas Eve. Usually, well, for the past 3 years, Santa Claus has come to visit our house on Christmas Eve. It was our opportunity to take their photos with Santa, and let them get used to the idea that Santa was cool. Well, this year, Santa didn’t fit our new schedule, so we got a direct link ichat to the North Pole.. I’m not kidding. We got on iChat with Santa! It was perfect considering the circumstances… My girls, being of digital minds, loved the idea. Of course, nothing is as good as seeing Santa in person on Christmas Eve, but this was a close second!
Even Santa thought it was cool! He was able to show the girls his lists, and talk about what they wanted for Christmas. The girls were having so much fun that they didn’t even realize it was almost bed time. They didn’t even know that we had done some super secret shopping and had been able to find just about everything on their Christmas Lists. Including the infamous “Green robot, with a controller, that’s a girl” as my little Monkey See would put it. Actually, her sister bought that one for her. It was so sweet.
So, yeah, every special gift day, well, birthday and Christmas I guess, we take the girls shopping. Mommy takes one and Daddy takes the other. Anyway, we go to TRU, and we let them shop for gifts for each other. Any gifts they want, within a certain, pre-set budget… and it’s really funny. Daddy and I have our phones, we peek around the corners, and make sure sister isn’t in the aisle we’re about to walk into. It’s kinda a big dance… but it’s so worth it when we see them open the presents they bought each other.
So anyway.. Christmas morning came, and the girls were sooooo excited to go downstairs and open up presents. We hooked up the webcam again, and my family joined in on opening presents with us. I tell ya, whoever came up with this technology is amazing. Well, they got to see the girls opening presents live and (almost) in person. They opened their presents as well, and it was just… a fun Christmas morning. Don’t get me wrong. it would’ve been so much better if everyone was together live and in person.. but this was just fine for a first Christmas away.
The girls screamed and giggled and went crazy as they opened their presents from everyone. I loved watching and listening to every moment of that. The joy and dare I say it… Glee.. that was experienced that morning was enough to bottle up and save up to use over the next year of tough mornings. Thank goodness… because what was left after those bright smiling moments was just sheer devastation of the living room… or as what I call.. the Christmas Aftermath..
By the way… we went from this…
To this…
oh, and this…
Yeah… I love Christmas..
Dear North Carolina,
I can not even express how grateful I am to you for implementing the new law that makes all restauants (& bars) in NC smoke free! I am so glad that as of January 2, 2010, I won’t have to worry about which restaurants I take my girls to. They will all be safe!
Moving to NC from CA, a state that has had that law since I was a kid, has been an amazing experience so far. I have to admit that I was a little shocked the first time we went out to eat in NC. I did a double take when we were asked “Smoking or Non-Smoking?” Of course the smell that hit my nose when we walked in should’ve been a dead giveaway as to what we were just asked. My husband and I asked the girls if we could try a different restaurant, but they wanted to stay put. It was one of their favorite places to eat back home, so it was hard to pry them away.
We remember the commercials back home from when we were growing up, saying that smoke doesn’t know how to stay in the smoking section and we were a little uneasy the whole time we were in there, wondering if we did the right thing eating in.
Over the next few months, we made it a point to eat at places that didn’t have smoking sections, or just pick up dinner and eat at home. Kinda took some of the fun out of going out to eat, but I’d rather have my lungs and healthy children than enjoy a meal that could harm us. Trust me… it was worth the extra effort.
We know that second hand smoke contains at least 250 chemicals known to be toxic, including more than 50 that can cause cancer. We also know that secondhand smoke causes heart disease and lung cancer in nonsmoking adults, and asthma and other respiratory illnesses in children. We also know that according to the California EPA, secondhand smoke is estimated to have caused approximately 3,400 lung cancer deaths and 22,700-69,600 heart disease deaths annually among nonsmokers in the US. *
So many scary facts that have made it a huge deal for us to protect our girls from exposure to secondhand smoke, this new law is going to make things just a little bit easier. Now, starting with the new year, we won’t have to be as selective of where we go out to eat, and I’m sure my girls are going to have more fun choosing where we go! I’m pretty sure that there are more folks that feel just as excited as we do!! So thank you!! We thank you, and our lungs thank you!
Sincerely,
The Mommy Brain Family

That’s all that she asked for. On December 15th, a friend of mine lost her 2 year old son in a very tragic accident. It’s a situation that has rocked the blogger community, and sent people reeling from various tweets that have accused her of neglect and worse. All the negative posts around the twitterverse just made our community come together even tighter. It’s made me realize just how lucky I am to be a part of such an amazing group of people..
I can’t imagine the pain that they are going through… and if you’ve seen any of the stories on the internet or even news stations on TV… you’ll know what I mean. For the few cruel people who have turned this tragedy into a media frenzy… y’all are asses…
Anyway… the only thing I can say, is that I am praying that my friend and her family can find peace, and that the media onslaught will fade away so they can grieve privately.
and yes… I refrained from using any names on purpose.
Drama.. such a funny word… I use it for so many things.
Well, After my little visit with the Ashley Furniture Home Store, they promised me my chaise would be delivered on Tuesday… Yesterday. Apparently the salesman that helped us was “new”… umm didn’t your store open up just 4 days before we went in there?? Yeah, he’s new and so is just about everyone in it… anyway… He somehow messed up someone else’s order too. Someone who happened to order the same exact couch as us, on the same exact day… except he needed the chaise on the side we received and instead GOT the chaise on the side we needed… so hey! How about giving me his chaise, and giving him ours??? Yup.. so that was what was happening. Otherwise I’d have had to wait until sometime after the 15th for it to be delivered… some “rush”… Well, the manager, whose name also happens to be Ashleigh, just spelled differently, told me I would receive a call on Monday to let us know what time our chaise would be delivered… Did that happen? Hell no.
So Tuesday morning, I had already thought they forgot all about me. I had errands I needed to run, and in the hopes that they would at least call me before they showed up, I took to the roads to get things done before our storms on Wednesday. When we were about 1/2 way done with our errands, I called the store and spoke to Ashleigh. She sounded perplexed as to why I didn’t get a phone call. I really wasn’t surprised. She told me that they had me scheduled for between 12 and 4pm… Well, that’s a pretty big window, and I was only 20 minutes away from the beginning of that window. The bad thing was, I still had 2 places to go, and they were 30 minutes away from where I was. I called Daddy and asked him to log in to Vonage and make sure phone calls would come to my cell phone if I wasn’t home. We rushed through the last two errands and ran home. On our way home, we happen to see an Ashley Furniture truck passing us, in the opposite direction. All I could think was great.. we just missed them… I got home and just waited. We waiting until 3:30pm, and I finally called the store. Just as I was getting off the phone with the store, my phone beeps. It’s the delivery guys calling to make sure I was home. They were here within 10 minutes… phew! It was finally here! Now, my couch is complete… Thank goodness.
Lesson from all of this?? While I am extremely pleased with my couch, I am quite dissatisfied with the service I received after the mistake was realized. The salesperson that helped us was very apologetic, and I appreciate that. I’m just upset about the lack of the phone calls I received despite all the promises.
Needless to say, we didn’t purchase the girls’ mattress sets from Ashley Furniture… but it wasn’t because of this situation. It was because they couldn’t tell us when we would get them. They told us 2-4 weeks. We wanted to make sure the girls had them before Christmas. Instead, after an afternoon of shopping around, we purchased them from Rose Brothers Furniture on Bell Fork Rd, here in Jacksonville. The service was exceptional, and they helped us find the perfect sets in our price range… Oh, and we were able to pick them up right away too… The girls are now in their “big girl” beds… but I’ll save all of that for a new post!
At least that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.. Here’s how it went today… WARNING: This is long as hell, just sayin’… it was truly a bad day…
I got an email a little while back.. like a week ago or so.. saying my car may be due for it’s 40K mile service… I’m at like 38K and change.. sure I’ll take it in.. I always take it in a little early just in case. I called Tuesday and set up an appointment for Friday, today, at 9am at the Honda Dealership here in Jacksonville (Lejeune Honda). Fast Forward to today.. We get up to LH (Lejeune Honda) at around 850am.. I turn in the van, and the girls and I wait inside. I knew I had to pay about $95 for the oil change, but when they came to me about the van needing the filters changed, and all of the fluids replaced… something to the tune of nearly $700, I just about passed out. Just about 8K miles ago, when we were in CA, we had taken our van in to Autowest Honda in Roseville, where we purchased the van, to have the 30K mile service done. That was March 30th. I paid nearly $700 that day..(but I was prepared for that)… Sound Familiar? Well, it should… Every fluid that I had replaced, and every filter that I changed out is on the list once again… Mind you, it took 30K miles for it to need to be changed the first time… How did it only take 8K miles this time? I don’t know, and I can’t get a straight answer from LH. They keep telling me that they don’t have the records showing what the other dealership (AH) did or did not do on the van, so they don’t know why it’s already that bad. I told LH that I know for a fact that AH did this same stuff at the 30K mile service, so I don’t understand how it needs it all over again.. Then the service gal starts rambling off a bunch of mechanical stuff, and believe me, I understood what she was talking about (I used to work on cars when I was younger with my dad).. it just didn’t make any sense.. She said there was nothing mechanically wrong with my car… Well, then why was my transmission fluid black as night when it’s supposed to be clear and pink??
oh.. and here are the vials she showed me:
The first large vial is “my” transmission fluid, and it should look like the far left tiny vial. The second tall vial is “my” brake fluid, and it should look like the second clearish tiny vial. The third large vial is “my” power steering fluid, which should look like the third yellowish tiny vial. The last one on the far right is my coolant.. and that one isn’t much different. Anyhow… I called back to AH, and confirmed that they did indeed change out all of my fluids last time I was in there, and asked the technician if I could send him the photo.. He said he’d take a look at it and give me a call back. Well, out of fear of my car dying on me somewhere in the middle of NC, I agreed to let them change just the transmission fluid, since it seemed to be the worst, and a super important part of my car just working. There was no way I could get all of them done… seriously… Honda trying to take away all of my Christmas money.. not nice. Oh, and did I mention one of my girls was having a meltdown while all this was going on… because she wanted my iPhone, and I said no… really… both of my girls brought in their Leapsters and a huge bag full of books… no she wanted my iPhone. That was all slightly embarassing.
We had to run to Sears after this to go pick up my jewelry box that I had put on layaway.. no it wasn’t full of jewelry.. it’s a standing one that I have always wanted so I could hang my necklaces instead of them getting all tangled in the bottom of my table top box… more on this later… Anyway, we stopped at the automotive section just so I could ask them about their fluid service. They told me they could do everything but my transmission fluid since Honda kinda has the monopoly on that. I guess it’s some special Honda fluid or something… He did tell me that they could change the fluids for $250 rather than Honda’s outrageous estimate. When I told him the situation, he told me that since it wasn’t at the recommended time, Honda should warranty it. I explained that it was 2 different dealerships in two different states, so I didn’t think there was a warranty here. Then he told me I should call Honda corporate and see what they said. So. I did.
I spoke to a wonderful CS agent at Honda Corporate. She listened to my dilemma and told me that she thought something sounded funny too. Long story short, she created a case, and is getting the Regional Liaison involved. I’ll know more by next Tuesday. Phone call back from AH in Cali, he thought the vials were very interesting and told me the only way my Transmission fluid would’ve been that dark, this soon, was if something was mechanically wrong with my transmission and they’ve already said there wasn’t. Sooooo… we’ll see about all this.
Ok, so on to the jewelry armoire.. yes.. so we went to Sears to pick that up. The girls know the mall very well. They know there’s a cookie store and a pretzel store… and today, they wanted a pretzel. I already told them no, because there was no way I was going to treat them after the scene at the dealership. Oh goodness, that just caused a huge scene in Sears. I picked up the armoire and went straight to the car.. Crying, more fits… I was ready to go home. Ah, but it wasn’t time yet…
We stopped at our new Ashley Furniture home store.. A few weeks ago, we bought a new sectional. Well, delivery day came, and they brought the chaise for the wrong side. I was so sad… Anyway, they said they’d order a new one, the correct one, and it would be here by the 7th… ok, so a little over a week.. no big deal Well, I got a call on Monday asking how the delivery went, and the lady I spoke to said she was going to call someone who was in charge of orders and make sure it was ordered… Apparently she didn’t see the order in the computer. She said she’d call back and let me know the details. I never got a call back. I waited 2 days, and called back on Wednesday, spoke to someone else who promised me the manager would call me back as soon as she got off her phone call… Nothing. So today, I went in. I found out that the chaise was ordered on Saturday, but it now wouldn’t be in till the 11th, and then delivered sometime during the week after that.. Um.No. I didn’t pay that much money to be without my couch. I was promised it would be rushed and here by the 7th. It is explained to me that their “rush” is asking the manufacturer “We need it asap.. pretty please” and then they do it in the order it was received.. UGH! I’m so upset. I think we might be taking our money elsewhere to buy the girls’ new beds….
So we did have to go back to LH for a bit so they could reset my oil life gauge. It still said 20%… ummm really?
Ok.. you’d think I was done.. but no. When we got home, I got the girls some lunch, and told them they needed to take a nap. All this fighting and fussing today… they had to be tired.. Once I got them upstairs, I started to unpack my Jewelry Armoire. I was livid. The corners were splintered. The front doors were totally off. The tops of the doors touched it was almost impossible to close, and the bottoms of the doors had a gap almost a 1/4 ” wide. No lie.. I wanted to cry. I called Sears back and they told me to just bring it back.. of course
Hubby got home around 530p and we took off down to Sears. I turned in the jewelry armoire, and went back to that section to look for another one. It was between getting another of the same one, or one that had a totally different look to it, but more hanging space for necklaces. I chose the second one because I was afraid that the doors on the new one would have problems too. Guess what.. They were all out of the one I wanted. It truly wasn’t my day. Hubby knew I wasn’t up for cooking dinner… so we opted to go out that night. I needed it. Everyone was happy, and we had some good laughs…
I’ll have to update as the week goes on to let you know what comes of the van, and the couch situation… We’re going to be shopping around for the girls’ beds this weekend too…
This has been weighing on my mind, and I’m sure it’s not the first time this has happened in the world, but it’s bugging the hell out of me.
Since our move to NC, I’ve had a helluva time trying to find someone that lives up to the guy that cut my hair back home… If you’re in Sacramento, CA go to see Brett at Salon 701… He’s amazing! Anyway, just like having to find new doctors and dentists, you have to find a new hair dresser and for me, that’s hard. I’m so picky, but after several haircuts that made me cry while in Japan, I think I have the right to be! I’m the one that has to walk around with my hair! LOL
I’ve been to a couple of salons here in Jacksonville, and didn’t quite get the results I wanted, so I kept looking. Well, just before I went to BWE, I decided to check out a salon not too far from my house called J Thomas.. It’s the only Aveda concept salon in the area.. Well, I went in on a Saturday morning, and it didn’t seem busy at all. I figured if the lady did my hair well, I’d be happy!
When I went in at my appointed time, I found out that they had given me the wrong time when they called to confirm my appoinent and I was actually late.. Lovely. Well, they got my haircut in, got me in for a couple of other services and shifted things around for me.. All in all I ended up spending a couple of hours there. BUT I was very pleased with my haircut! She got it just about spot on. Woohoo!
Ok so now you’re wondering why my title says what it does. Well, I called yesterday to get appoinents for my girls to get haircuts. I figured, if my hair was done well, she’d understand how I like the girls’ hair too… Daddy is going out in the morning with a couple of guys from work, so I figured it would be a good time to take the girls out for some pampering. I learn differently. When I called I was informed that they no longer accept children appointments on Saturdays. Their reasoning? Because the higher value customers come in on Saturdays, and they don’t want children to interrupt their spa services (that are all upstairs).. Really?? What if Saturdays are the only day I can bring my kids in? They asked me, “well can’t you bring them in after school?” Well, first of all, what if I worked outside the home? What if I couldn’t bring my kids after school? They’re closed on Sundays, so that day is out.. Anyhow, I’m certainly glad that’s not the case, but what if it were? I just wanted to treat the girls to a fun morning out while Daddy went out too…
What’s your experience? Have you ever been told something like this? I’m just curious…
** Update**
Ok, I can quit whining.. I called back this morning and spoke to someone else. They told me the same thing, and playing dumb, I asked why they have such a silly rule. If all the spa services are upstairs, how would a child getting a hair cut interrupt spa services? She told me that if the child cries, they could hear them upstairs. I told her that my children were no stranger to getting their haircut! They love being pampered, and especially love getting their nails done LOL. Yes, I’ve taken my girls for mani/pedi’s a few times. It’s fun… and they feel so grown up… I love it… Anyhow, after assuring the gal that my girls will most definitely not cry, she scheduled them for a 9am haircut appointment with Jennifer.. the same gal that did my hair.. Thank goodness…
I’m still curious if anyone else has ever heard such a thing though.. It really stuck on my mind all day yesterday and was one of the first things I thought of this morning while I was getting ready…
