Not Very Nice...or Easy

So you know how I will post just about ANYTHING about my girls...funny sayings, important stages of growth, pictures of one of them hugging the toilet...pictures of that same one with a comb hopelessly tangled in her bangs?  These are, you know--all kinds of "goodies" that I just don't want to forget.  Things I want to remember forever.

Well today, I will be the subject of my post...because I never, ever want to forget...

...the perils of simply trying to cover one's gray hair.   

Ack!

The girls love it, but I am here to tell you that as dark as my hair is naturally, it now is ridiculously BLACK.  My husband said it is "just like Jackie Chan".  Nice.  I would have preferred to be compared to a FEMALE, thank you very much!  Belle said, "Oh please oh please don't change it...I love it!".  Now I know I'm in trouble when my dear Belle who would like pink hair one day says that my hair is "perfect".   And my dear Moo has attempted on at least two occasions to lecture me on the importance on what is "on the inside", and wonders why I would have ever thought to cover my gray in the first place.  Sigh.  Good question.

So, Future Allison, when you read this post in the future, let it serve to remind you so that you will never forget: Nice & Easy Darkest Brown IS NOT YOUR COLOR!!!

Yes, I have learned the hard way over the years...Always go lighter than the box shows. Especially when you are going red. *Bad Memory*
