This morning Chloe got up and came into my room sleepy eyed, but happy. Chloe has her Christmas musical at church tonight. I said, "Chloe I may not be home from the Dr. by the time you have to go to the church, if I'm not, put your hair in a ponytail." Smile turns upside down and drama insues. "Momma, I can't put my hair in a pretty ponytail, it's all bumpy when I do it." I tell her that I think she does a good job, and I like it. She tells me she thinks it's ugly. I tell her that I will straighten her hair, and that hopefully it will look good when she gets home, and she can wear it down. "No, I'll get all sweaty and school." By now, my blood preasure is rising. "OK Chloe, do your hair however you want, I don't care. It's your decision." "Uh-uh, you know I can't make decisions!!" I don't think we ever got to the exact bottom of the hair issue, but Mark will have to deal with it. I then told her that she could where either button up Christmas sweater that she wanted to. She said "those won't work. Mrs. Beverly said that we are celebrating the birth of Jesus, not Santa Claus. **Side note: I totally understand and agree with what Mrs. Beverly is saying. One of the sweaters has reindeer and one has a very, very small picture of Santa Claus that no one would possibly be able to see from the stage. I told her I would call about it. She said "Don't call Aunt Pat, call Mrs. Beverly." Chloe is smart enough to know that Aunt Pat would say it was OK, but Mrs. Beverly would state her true feelings. So, I called Aunt Pat (behind Chloe's back) and she said it was OK. I don't know if I'll call Mrs. Beverly, but I probably will. So, tonight at church, I'm not sure what you'll see my child dressed in, and I can't say what her hair might look like, but try to be nice, and I promise I'll try harder next time.

I got to work and told Peggy the entire funny story, 'cause I thought it would make her laugh. It did. When she finished laughing, she said "Gina she is just like YOU!!"
