I tell ya. This IS me these days.- I had my hair chopped off and this cartoon IS the style now. My salon gal had it looking fantabulous, sophisticated and chic in about 5 minutes. Over 30 minutes of me jerking around with it and I think I look like a nerdy, adolescent boy with breasticles. I can do so many things. Tricking out my hair is NOT one of them no matter how hard I try.
- Some good changes are afoot in my work life....but not without stress getting there. I am not good with all the legal hooey that goes with contracts. It just makes everything seem so cold albeit a necessary evil. I understand it but it does not mean I have to like the 'business' aspects of things. Heh, with my hatred of contracts and the impersonality of them it is a good thing I bailed out shortly into my law school career. I'd be starving by now ;0)
- Referrals, please??? Wanting to know the cut off is wigging me out.
- I am carrying around a stress level that does not suit me well. I have been anxious and I can't get used to such a thing. It's all the looming unknowns but PLEASE tell me this constant nausea and my touchy feelings will ease after referral comes. Lie to me if you must. I am not a very good anxious person. I've been Hakuna Matata for several years now and don't want to be any other way....anything else is simply too tiring.
- Keep fingers crossed that my updates come along easily and I have no paperwork delays. Yep, I'm nervous about that too. When did I become this nervous person? I think it was when the 2-06 referrals began to arrive.
- Off to take a few layers off of 'wrapped too tight' and enjoy the weekend.
- Hakuna Matata, I say! (Yeah, that's BS right now but I'm working on it ;0)

The hair! Oh, the hair! I have the same problem. My stylist makes my hair look gorgeous, but I look like a boy when my hair is newly cut and like the Flying Nun when it's time for a trim. I don't know what to do...
And come on referrals!!!!
I am with you on getting the referrals here!
I can't wait to see the face of your baby - I can't imagine what you are going through!
I am completely hair challenged. I'm a wash and go person. I can't even blow dry my hair right.
When we received Sera's referral, the anxiety went away completely. I was eager for the next steps and couldn't wait to hold her, but it was so much easier. By the last month or two before referrals, I was a crazy person. Just ask Jim.
I can't do hair either. My husband is better at it than I am. He will be the one doing Sophie's pigtails, not me!
C'mon referrals!
So here is the deal with the nervousness stuff... It's worse in the anticipation than in the doing part. Sure, I was a nervous wrek the first month, but what I found was that the moment my daughter woke up and I started caring for her, the anxiety would go away. I can't lie to you and say that you will feel no more of it once you get that golden referral, but it won't feel like it does right now. The free floating stuff is the worst.
Yes your feelings are normal! I was not a lot of fun to be around pre referral either. But just wait till you see your daughteres face. That feeling will be awesome!
Hakuna Matata!! Is that annoying? I don't mean it to be... just trying to get you back in the relaxed groove.
Sorry to hear the stress is up and staying up. It is a drag. But it will go away - and be replaced with New and Improved Post-Referral Stress. :-)
Hang in there and try to enjoy your weekend.
I bet it is fab and you are being too hard on yourself.
Hakuna Matata...bless you! Have a kleenex.
Keep smilin!
Hakuna Matata!!!
Hey I have the same sickness right now!!! Hope we have a little relief for this ASAP!!!
Maybe a glass of wine would help? Ahhh screw it... go for the whole bottle! LOL!
When I was a young wart hoooooog.....
Chocolate, my dear. And perhaps a nice little tranquilizer? LOL!
Um, you can't mention your hair and then NOT SHOW IT! Bad girl. I think your nerves are making you mean. ;-)
Seriously, though, I'm thinking of ya. WOn't be long now, but NO STRESS! Trust me, kids don't know that you're doing everything wrong.
Nice new space.
I have been watching for referrals with a new anticipation knowing that so many of my bloggy friends are up soon. I can't wait until yours happens.
I'm sure your hair is great! Can imagine it and you're lookin' sassy friend!
Hoping referrals are sent within the next couple of days and that you learn the cut off. Stressing for sure!
((hugs))
I can't blame you for your jitters. Lots of good changes are heading your way!
I bet your hair looks super cute!
Try to relax this weekend if you can!!
you know I am praying for you with all the paperwork garbage.
I really do hope your wee one develops your sense of humor...that will be SO much fun!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend and blowing off some much needed steam.
(Fear of the unknown(s) is the worst.) It'll get better.
Paperwork smakerwork, why must these things be so stressful? I haven't a clue.
Allow me to carry the nerve wrecking referral stress for you, cuz I can't sleep just cuz your so close!
I hear you on the hair thing. I took the plunge a week ago and I'm wondering if I was a complete fool. It looks like a bad grow-out job and I'm not quite sure what to do about it.
Breathe in, Breathe out, Breathe in, Breathe out and now go get a drink!!!! Get a stupid silly movie and lose your self in it for a little while to chill out. Everything will be okay!!!!!!
Come on now...show us your hair.
You know you wanna post a picture of it!
Go with the old axiom of "Fake it till you make it" You will be an old hat at this motherhood stuff before you know it and if there is anything you want to know...well, you have a tremendous following of moms that are right here if you need us.
Hugs
PS Bet you are looking as cute as you can be right now ;0)
Maybe you should have Georgia on your mind instead, it seemed like good stress relief last time!
And I won't lie, there is always something to be nervous about or stress about, until you come to the realization that you have no control and can't change anything so don't sweat the small or big stuff. Because once that little girl throws up on you or poops green all over the place with an exploding diaper, or has cried for an hour and you are sleep deprived....why your priorities change and everything else is no big deal.
Who am I kidding? A colonoscopy sounds like a good way to get some rest right now!
SOrry, but its a little fun to see you freak out a bit for me. Makes me think that somehow, somewhere, SOMEthing is happening in this crazy process.
Thats great to see. xo
I am on pins and needles about the upcoming batch of referrals, and I am not even waiting!!
Can't wait to see the hair.
Oh I hear you. It is never as easy as it is at the salon. Waiting anxiously to see how referrals go...How crazy. Hope you don't need any more duckies.
Yeah, something wiggy starts happening inside you as you get closer to referral I swear! Can't wait to see your new do if you dare to share sometime!
I have knots in my stomach for you. I do nervous well so send it along.
I'm sure the hair isn't at all as bad as you are thinking it is however, I totally understand the "My salon gal had it looking fantabulous, sophisticated and chic in about 5 minutes" statement. My hair never looks the same when I do it but that's why I likie this short do!
I too am anxious to see referrals this month. I've even started reading Rumor Queen again just to get an idea. Close.. it's getting so close and I can only imagine how you must feel. These blog comments will be smokin when that referral does get here though. You have so many waiting with you! :0)
try to enjoy your weekend and not think too much.
I'm waiting on pins and needles for Monday afternoon !!! The email we received from our agency was a real heart stopper.
Stay tuned.
Joanne
