Keep Out of Reach of Tall Children

Sometimes I get a little distracted. Like the time Danny and Jack went coasting down a hill in their double stroller as I stood there trying to locate the gorilla house on the zoo map.  By the time I looked up, they were 50 feet away and tipped over in the grass. 

I've gotten better.  Really I have.

Yet as I gathered up hockey equipment yesterday, I somehow lost track of the hour.  It was suddenly time to start my afternoon school pick-ups and I was late.  I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror and realized I looked askew.  So I ducked into our first floor bathroom to quickly comb my hair and spritz a little hairspray on my Supercuts 'do so the bus moms wouldn't laugh at me. 

Unfortunately, I also keep other aerosol bottles right next to my hairspray.  Can you guess which one I used instead?

Helpful hint to people with babies: do not leave your child unattended at my house.

Let's just say my head has a whole new army of scrubbing bubbles working their smiling little a$$es off to keep my hair tidy and free of mildew.  You think I would have caught this?

Yellow nozzle.  White nozzle.  So obvious.  

Oddly enough, after I wet my hair a little bit and ran a comb through the toxic cleanser, I was good to go.  My hair didn't budge for the remainder of the day despite wind and rain exposure.

Sadly, this is not the first time I've done such a thing.  Last month, I took the worry out of ever having ants in my hair.  For the record, the Raid bottle is bright blue.

Maybe it's time to make an appointment with that eye doctor?

(Disclaimer: The high-end hairspray highlighted in today's blog was bought on clearance at the Hair Cuttery this summer.  I picked up every last bottle while the boys got their buzz cuts.  It was cheaper than Aqua Net).
