I had to do the home-colour-hair-thing tonight and it went as well as it usually does: Nightmarish. Not because I can’t do it, because the external factors i.e. the spawn (Yes, I left out Satan) complicate things slightly.
It started out really well. Hubby offered to read to the girls and Daniel whilst I get myself sorted. It went really well until I was done putting the colour on and Husband was with Daniel. Mignon calls: “Mamma, lappie!”. Which means that she would have conveniently chucked her Baby Sense lappie in the deepest, darkest corner behind her bed. There where the snakes and monsters live. There where no-one has vacuumed since 1984.
So, I mumble my usual friendly words of love, lean over the bed to check where said lappie is, bump hair with colour in the corner against the 2 sides of the wall. Mumble more. Get down on the floor on my stomach. Try to reach. No go. Shuffle forward, trap naked boob under my weight. Mumble. Reach. Still no go. Mumble. Shuffle. Reach and grab. Bump head with colour on bottom of bed and ricochet off cream coloured teddy bear. Reverse out from under bed and hand lappie to Mignon grinidng my teeth and mumbling some more. Isabel pipes up: “Mamma hare was!” Hasty exit.
1 Minute later: “Mamma, lappie”. Mumblemumblemumble. Back into room, skip top view this time as I had a pretty good idea where the damn lappie was. Go down onto the floor. See lappie in same spot, just a little further away. Mumble. Shuffle and reach. Too far. Shuffle and reach some more. Get carpet burn on nipple. Swear. Loudly. Retreat from under bed, manage to cover most of chest and arms in hair dye. Swear some more. Glare at Mignon lovingly and promise that I won’t be back another time. Isabel: “Mamma, hare was!”
At which point my husband came out of Daniel’s room and opened a bottle of bubbles.
Off to shower, bye!
shame hun, I will do it for you next time, in daylight see? Just 1 question – why are you nekkid when you dye your hair? š
ROTFPMSL!!!!
Ah see, I knew that was going to come up. Easier to just jump in shower afterwards and lessens mess. In theory anyway.
kisskiss š
Hahahaha! Oh boy. The joys?
Yes. The joy. š
LOL! Did you manage to dye your body parts as well? I always find my skin dyes easier than my hair – so not attractive!
You see, I knew there was a reason I’ve never attempted a home-dye. Because my experience would probably be similar.
Hope the carpet-burned nipple is recovering. That’s painful.
Amazing how bubbles can save the day in most situations š
aaah yes ok, that makes sense š Shame man, hope all your bits are better soon š Hair looks fab right?
LOVE bubbles.
Yep. Body parts were dyed.
Looks ok. Still need hairdresser though for cut. ASAP.
I found my first grey hair at 21. I’m on the wrong side of 35 now. Need I say more?
Also living by “Waas my lappie? ” Thankfully lost the old, smelly, ragged one in a restaurant the other day…now we’ve got a new blue one for years to come…How’s the hair look?
LOL…such a gorgeous mental pic of you topless with hair dye on all fours under a bed…..ha ha ha
Dark. Like the mood. š
You meant gorgeous in the sarcastic sense of the word hey? š
So that makes two of us for today then.Tomorrow has GOT to be better. It’s the law of the universe.
Brilliant hahaha. Loved the carpet burn, you wiggling under the bed, ricochet off cream coloured teddy (why is it never a dark coloured teddy when we need it to be?)…mumble mumble. Haha. Thanks for the smile.
Only a pleasure š
Holding thumbs it will be!
hehehehe…OUCH!
š
You’re one patient Mamma.
mwahmwahmwah!
Love the way you describe these situations :)…
Hope the hair came out pretty!
Looks ok, thanks š
