So last night, once again, I was ask what's up with my gray hair. Of course my darling niece (22) asked if it had something to do with Taylor Hicks. Yes I am a HUGE fan. My answer was NO not at all. A small lie. This man won a national competition with hair grayer than my father. So I began to think.
A little back ground. I have had a perfect Rouge (XMan) streak in my hair since 22/23. I have always colored it. I would say " No matter how old I get If I have the strength in my arm or the money my hair will never be gray". Well my thoughts on this have changed.
Why should I hide my hair. IT IS ONLY HAIR. I have plenty of it and a great cut, thank you Jeodale. I have accepted my hair after almost 17yrs. So why can't society?
Men are not pressured to encouraged to color their hair or their bald heads. And times it is even frowned on. But let a woman show her gray and she will have ppl offering to dye for her. PPl it is hair. That's it.
So as I approch the big 'Four Oh' I hav decided to let the gray in. Get used to it b/c it is here to stay!!!

Have I Been Asleep????
This blogging thing is weird! Who would have thunk it, but here I am. My spelling sucks so do not be surprised. My train of thought wanders so try to connect the dots.
Have I been asleep is the question. I will be 40 in Jan07. What the Hell my mother should be 40 not me. Her reply, her mother should be 64 not her. So I guess that is how it goes. One day last year I woke up asking myself where did the last 20yrs go. It has went to my kids, my hubby and the all around mom housewife day to day jobs. Well my kids a 18,16,12. My hubby has been in his job, classified, for 10-11yrs. I have taken care of them for 19yrs. I have cooked, cleaned, catched and carried all this time. All the while by choose. Yet know I find myself asking, what is next. After the kids then what. A house can only be so clean and a Hubby can only be please just so much until all tasked blend into 20yrs of blurred time.
I know who ever reads this will think, "well lady get off your ass and do something", or "you chose to stay at home so what are you bitchin about", last but not least, "I wish I could stay home every day."
For now I will simple blog this crap to how fully find a small amount of sanity. To clear the mommy/wife persona out of my head and find me again.
Yike spell check was on overtime !
