My Unfortunate Event...

So although this week has been filled with many many busy unfortunate events and a few nice ones... let me describe to you the one that has stood out the most... unfortunate... but definately humorous!

Thursday night, a friend of mine (with two girls 3 and 5 years old and a husband who travels often) asks me if I can watch the girls for a few hours later this evening, because her husband is out of town. I agreed and showed up tired and exhausted... but still looking forward to hanging out with the girls... during the middle of the evening the oldes girl decides she wants to color, and pulls a large gallon size bag of markers and crayons and a stack of paper off the table and plops it down in the middle of the living room floor. Right as both of the girls and I were getting ready to distribute paper and coloring tools the phone rings... I walked to the kitche answered it.. and found it was their father... so he chats with the older girl first for a few minutes and then with the youngest for a little bit less, before the youngest hands the phone to me. I take the phone and start talking to him, while walking back to the base to put the phone back... at most 3 minutes... 3 MINUTES...

When I turn around to find the youngest with a pair of sizors in one hand and her hair in the other... giving herself a haircut! I raise my voice from across the hall, walk towards her and tell her "put those sizors down, you may not cut your hair... sizors are for paper only" yatti yatti...
Then, I run my fingers through her hair (to see how much she cut off) and notice... a wod of hair stays in my hand (similar to when dogs shed).. it turns out (like most preschoolers) her fine motor skills and pincer grip has not fully developed so she couldnt close the sizors correctly so she mainly shaved most of it... egh!

I was so mad at myself mainly for not being there... I know had it been my own child I probably would have smirked initially... because in the end... you can't change the past... and also it is something that most children are curious about... but being that they were NOT my children... I was mortified...

Needless to say... I told their mom. Luckily she is like me.. so she did smile and assured me... that it was not a big deal to her... THANK GOD!

Ok.. Possitive point of the week- I completed HW, Project assignment, and my 3DQ's sparing 3 days! I LOVE IT!
