Look at all the fun we have had.

October is right around the corner and we have Thomas' Birthday coming up, a trip to the Pumpkin Patch, the Cider Mill, Bri's wedding in North Carolina, and Halloween! It will be another fun filled month with our kids.

Me Vs the Hair Dresser

Not a happy Momma right now. I just got back from getting Joseph's haircut. We have done this many times, and not had a problem. Today was a different story. I can't say his haircut is bad, it's just not that I asked for.

Here is the scene. I have just finished taking away the fourth bottle of hair product that Joseph has picked up and thrown to the ground when we are called back. I am nervous instantly. This is an older lady with glasses and a hairstyle that haven't been updated since the 80's. I tell her this, " I like to keep his hair longer so that we can keep the curls"
"Okay" she says and than proceeds to get out CLIPPERS! " Do you mind if I use clippers"
I say, "We don't usually use clippers and I don't want his hair to short. We normally get a scissor cut"
She says," Clippers are safer than scissors I will just use them at the base of his neck"
"Okay" I say
...Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz go the clippers all over the back of his head. Then she brings them up
around the front.
I say," I want you to use scissors now"
So, then she starts snipping away, Josph is screaming, and squirming and I say" he normally doesn't act this way (trying to make the point to this woman that neither of us like her)
She says," Kids always act this way"
I say "he has had numerous haircuts and he never acts this way" Again I say "you are cutting too much off"
She says," This is still very long to me" (I don't care what you think lady!)
I say," you need to stop this is not what I asked for"
She says, with scissors still in hand..." This is a little boys haircut, let me just finish"
I say, " I know what a little boy's haircut is and I didn't want one, we still wanted to keep his hair on the longer side" then added. "this is not what I told you I wanted"
"hmmm" she says

We are done.
We walk to the desk
"That will be $12 please"

I normally tip people a little something, but this woman got nothing. $12 was all she got, and I feel a little guilty for not tipping, but she did not do her job. Am I terrible?
