&^%$*^#%&%^*&!!!!!!

I can't even express my feelings about the following pictures. I was in my office printing preschool activities to do with Brooke while Ashley was in school. So here I am doing something fun for Brooke. I walk into the front room and call to her "Brooke come play with me. I have glue and scissors and crayons" Then I hear the garbage lid close in my bathroom. I thought "Why is she in my bathroom?" She skipped out as proud and happy as could be looking like this.......

I yelled WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR?!?! I threw here in time out and went straight outside to try to get control of myself, but I couldn't. I just started to cry. And I cried and cried and cried. I probably cried more than she did. She cut the hair on the entire top of her head and by both ears. FYI: My scissors are put away. Several months ago I bought a lock for our medicine drawer that also has the hair scissors in it. I knew this would be in my future with Brooke if I didn't try to prevent it. Well the lock I bought did not work and I never bought a different kind. So what I knew was bound to happen, did. She still had to climb and reach a distance without a drawer slamming closed on her to get to them. But she obviously had a premeditated plan and succeeded. I am so mad at myself!

I couldn't bring myself to pay someone to fix something that could not be fixed. So I did what I could myself. Since she didn't reach the back it still looks ok. But I had to cut it short to go with the sides she had cut by her ears.

AFTER

She doesn't look remorseful at all, does she?

Please meet our new son Brock. Gary said he always wanted two boys!! And since hair does not grow fast in our family (it took 2 1/2 years to get what she had) it is going to take awhile for the top to catch up with the back again. I am so sad.
