Finding My Roots

Well it's been just 4 months since I went brunette and I have already begun the process to return to blond. I now know that some of us are meant to be blondes. I am one for sure! It was too hard. I seriously felt like people were expecting me to say something intelligent all the time. The pressure was too great. Every time I opened my mouth and something goofy popped out, I think I throw people off. I was not myself. Like I was trying to fit into a pair of jeans that we 2 sizes too small. Painful!! I even felt more seriously. I would look in the mirror and it just wasn't me. I can't tell you how freeing it is to be going blond again. It's going to take a few months to be completely back to blond but just seeing the few strands of blond hair in my brush brought me to tears. Tears of joy!!!
As for whether blonde's have more fun, I would say a BIG FAT YES!!!! From the moment I went brunette people did not look at me the same. I know it sounds vein but I missed the looks. Greg even nailed it when he said that if we lived in California it might be different because being a brunette would stand out, but in SA, TX I was just another brunette!! One of millions!!! Greg even stuck his foot in his mouth by saying that he couldn't find me in a room. After almost 20 years of being together he couldn't recognize any other physical feature of mine. I had to laugh. Blake called it as well, he said, "Mom, I think you are prettier as a brunette, but seriously from one blond to another, you are a true blond!" Out of the mouths of babes huh!
On a more serious note, we are trying to teach Parker the importance of loving the person that God created in each of us. Appreciating all of the differences and how unique God created each of us. So by telling him to love the skin he is in and then coloring my hair a different color what was I teaching him.
For all you brunettes out there I have nothing but love and respect!! I am just not meant to be one myself!!
I can't tell you how good it feels to be me again!!!! Thank you God allowing me to find my roots and for allowing this silly incident to be a teaching tool to my kids!! God does have a sense of humor!!
