Oh no no no

Felt terrible today - perhaps I overdid it yesterday (I did decide, for some altogether strange reason, that it would be a very good time to clean the fridge and sort out the kitchen cupboards). Thus, I woke this morning feeling quite nauseous and very tired. And to top it off, I also woke up with an awful headache. And although I'd made a conscious decision not to show the children my lovely egghead because I'm too scared of traumatising them, I lost it today (oh no no no no). A combination of the nausea, the heat and my headache made me so fed up with my headscarf. I was convinced that if I just took it off I would feel a heck of a lot better. So after dinner tonight, after LH and I re-iterated that my current lack of a hairstyle was temporary, I whipped my headscarf off. And regretted it immediately. As it turns out, I don't feel better - I feel worse. I feel selfish and I feel guilty. Should our children turn out to be maladjusted, the turning point will be this moment in time, when they first saw their mother's Gollum hairdo.

    Hey Chinot,
    Take it easy now and certainly dont feel guilty about any of this, the kids are resilient and I'm sure are fine having seen the 'chrome dome'! They have a wonderful mother and that's all that matters! X

    My only concern is to ensure they don't grab the hair clippers and make their own Thomson family hairstyle. Meanwhile I am basking in being the second baldest person in the family for the short time it lasts!! Love you!!! LH

    Stop worrying about every little thing, sis. Besides, your kids must have had a kick out of seeing mommy's bald head. After all, they've been staring at daddy's bald head for so many years now. :) - Lito

    Chinot, at least your classmate in grade school won't be able to refer to you as hahaha, Hairy Poppins. Relax sweetie, you know that it's a temporary situation and yes, my Fil-Brit apos have been prepared for the sight of bald parents.
    Love you! - Dad
