Number 3 and 4 both asked to do swim team this winter. So we joined a new team in town.
I’m coaching the developmental group. Because I just didn’t have enough crap to keep me busy.
So anyway, I’m Number 4’s coach.
Lucky me.
Number 4 refuses to wear a bathing cap. That is a battle I have chosen not to fight. The head coach had a little issue with that. He thinks he’s going to force her to wear one. He’ll learn soon enough. But her hair is taking a serious beating.
We had to rush out of practice on Wednesday so that I could get Number 3 to his baseball practice by 5:30. Number 4 did not take a shower or wash her hair. And I forgot a brush. I didn’t really pay much attention to her because I was so focused on getting everyone in the car and getting to baseball on time.
So once everyone was unloaded from the car and Number 3 was over with his team, I actually looked at Number 4.
Let’s just say this is a fairly accurate description of her appearance:
Even if I had remembered a brush, there is no way I would have gotten it through her hair.
One of the moms there took one look at her, turned to me, and said, “You know, it is picture day tomorrow.”
Oh really? Well apparently it’s asshole day right now, and it’s your turn, lady.
Anyway, Number 4 and her awesome hair spent most of Number 3’s practice rolling down a big hill, running back up, rolling down, running back up…
My new bff really would have disapproved when she saw Number 4 fly out of the car and puke her guts out all over the yard the minute we got home.
I kind of wish it had happened right next to that lady. And her clearly perfect children.
I guess we’ll save that for next week…
TGIF 😉

Hysterical. I’m trying not to laugh to loud. It’s over if I wake the kids up.
i hear you 😉
I almost peed my pants over this one!!! Good Lord that ws hysterical!! Doesn’t her hair turn green? My daughter had that white blonde hair when she was young and it would turn greeen . I had a neighbor tell me to put conditioner in before and after and it works! I know they make special shampoos but they are pricey. I used to buy the half gallon jugs of suave at Wal-Mart for like 2 dollars. We have a pool plus live on a lake ples live in Florida so she was in about 9 months daily a year. Have you heard of any other remedy for the green hair thing with our blondies?
