She liked to scream.
A lot.
No one wanted to look after her.
Ever.
I also wasn't working and we were living the rice and mince lifestyle. When living in this lifestyle 'option' a regular trip to the hair salon is out of the question. And considering I would have had to take screaming banshee with me, there would have been no relaxing either.
Nine months went past before I made it to the hairdresser.
But oh how that has paid off.
I added my entry to a competition PottyMouthMama was running offering a night at the Werribee Mansion. You had to answer:
The last thing I expected about being a mum is/was:
My entry:
To fall in love with dummies, dimmer switches and think it was ok to not go to a hair dresser for nine months.
AND. I. WON!
Thank you dear screaming banshee child of mine, if not for you, Mumma would not be excitedly planning a weekend of luxury sometime soon. And let's not highlight that everyone else may have mentioned the unexpected and unconditional love of a child.
Soon Mr H. and I will be off to Werribee and we shall not (do you hear me Mr H.) we shall not be doing a tour of the zebras and giraffes, we have already seen them 72,000 times.
I may possibly be seen at any of the destinations below though.

ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteI can relate, my Miss 5 was a screamer and absolutely no-one wanted to look after her either! She is now adorable, but still cries a fair bit, although this can be remedied a whole lot easier now :)
Enjoy!
I love the gardens at Werribee mansion. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYes. I can't wait to go with you. It will be swell. Just the three of us. Cough.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest was a screamer too. And i didn't go to the hairdresser for about a year. I have long hair, so did a lot of 'bad-hair-day' tied back in a bun/ponytail. I may have also worn my pyjamas to the shops. Congratulations on the prize!
ReplyDeleteNice work - congrats!!!
