I think I was more of a wreck than my son was. I actually teared up a couple of times! Me mother-in-law cme by right after I got home and took me out to breakfast, to help me keep my mind of it.
Hairbraider--wow, I am just speechless at that gorgeous hair! And so envious! My hair is so straight, I can only imagine what all those curls would be like. Spectacular!
Kimbearly--thanks for the laugh! yesterday was a rough day all around, I think--my oldest had his first day of high school, and my daughter had her first day of junior high. Talk about some nervous kids! (and mom)
AmandaPanda ~ sorry! didn't mean to skip over you. Thank you! I still can't get over how shiny and silky your hair looks.

Your hair is simply gorgeous, hairbraider! I love the curls with all that length. Thanks for doing the picture of it stretched out too. It's hard to tell the actual length stretched out without seeing that picture. A wet hair picture would be nice too and would show it if you could capture it before it coiled up again. It looks like your in the bum tickling club!
lol Yeah... that's one way of putting it! As for the wet hair pic.... let me just say that my hair is never not coiled up. My curls are that stubborn. I might try to get one sometime though. Thanks for the compliments.
Awww, Shucks Alisa - your very sweet. Glad I put a smile on your face.
It's hard being a Mama since you want to protect your babies no matter what age they are. Grades 5 through 8 all in one building is a big age difference, but it is good that they keep them separated. When I was in junior high, we were in the High School (7 - 12th grade). You know what, it was fine and I did not come in contact very much with the older grades.
I don't know if you saw this video in one of my other posts, but every time I see it I get in a good mood, plus my kids get the biggest laugh. Beware, you will be humming the song all day.
Kimbearly, you kill me!!! I was just thinking, what a good name, Tdouty, and here comes Kimbearly, making me laugh , again. I need it today, so Thank you.
It was the first day of school for my kids. I have a 1st grader, 3rd grader and 5th grader.It wouldn't have been so bad, execpt that the 5th grade is part of the middle school, here. They have 5-8 in one building. Lets just say I am kind of freeking out!
I have been told that the 5th grade is very secluded, and only eat lunch with the 6th grade, but it still REALLY freaks me out.I just keep praying for him, he was really nervous this morning.
Of course the other two were like, " ok, mom, you can go now."! I am sure all will be fine, its just the newness of it all.

Sarah, I look at your site many times - and drool! I want hair like yours - like now!!! I also appreciate all of the hair tricks you post - such as how you take care of your hair.
OH my goodness, I LOVE the box for your hair toys! ...
I also am just fasinated by the braids! Do you know of a good book, or site w/ instructions? ...
Alisa, I don't know if you noticed, but my box is a fishing tackle box. It's so perfect with all the little compartments to keep things separated out. My sister-in-law uses one of those little craft boxes for beads or embroidery thread to hold small clips and rubber bands and barettes for my niece. I had too much stuff for that though.
A great site for braid instructions is www.dreamweaverbraiding.com. That's where I learned alot of my techniques. I've gotten way out of practice though really. I don't braid my own hair much anymore and the girls who always used to ask me to do theirs don't hang around anymore. I need to get back into it because I so enjoy doing it.
That's a great website Sarah, and I enjoyed seeing your hair toys! Do you use the porcupine quills as hairsticks or some kind of pin? They look too short to be sticks, but they are pretty.
Thanks, Susan! You guys enjoying looking is what makes it worthwhile to me.
Yes, I do use the quills as hairsticks. I have to use both of them to get a secure hold because they're so short. It's a bummer too because not much of the ends are visible, nearly the whole sticks are hidden inside my hair. My friend who bought them online for me ordered longer ones, but that's what came and they didn't answer my email about it, so....... I do love them though because they're so unique.
OH my goodness, I LOVE the box for your hair toys! After I read Susan's post, I checked out your site again.What a great idea. I am always loosing clips and barrets. I have a small basket in my bathroom that I use at the present, but somehow between my daughter helping herself, and my sticking things in my purse or bag, something always ends up missing.
I also am just fasinated by the braids! Do you know of a good book, or site w/ instructions? I can french braid very well. My aunt taught me when I was 5 yrs old, but, have gotten quite bored with "normal" french braiding. I do my daughter's hair all the time.As it get longer ( it is almost to the middle of her back)I plan on putting it up more.

Sarah, I am still somewhat shocked at how simlar our hair is. Yours is just a little bit tighter curl than mine, I think. And mine seems to go a bit straighter on top. Mabye if I didn't comb it as much.... Hmmmm
Absolutly gorgeous, Sarah! All your hard work is deffinetly showing.I can not wait for some length like that. I don't like to post my face either. Everyone hear seams to be alright, but you just never know when some wierdo might be watching, and the inernet is still a scary place.
Thank you! It's awesome to be someone's inspiration. I don't really care for having my face on the internet (still a little paranoid about that). I did a face shot as my avatar because it's so little you can't really tell much what I look like.
SugarCube~
Thanks. If I remember correctly, there's about 10-11 inches difference in those two pics!
Bob~
lol Glad you like them! You should give it a try on your wife.
