Back in the day I would dye parts of my hair crazy colours, on occasion i will dabble in a little colouring of the fringe etc. But since this whole emo crap has taken off, it seems to be what everyone does, my kid is into her rock stuff like me, wears skull skirts, and these shoes...but in pink

These are the ones I have...never used them...they just look so pretty! So for a long while Shan's been wanting her hair a different colour, she wants pink or purple, as blue apparently is what all the kids are doing, and she thinks boring!! Kids ~sighs~ So should I do a few streaks under her hair...I think yeah, but been a bad mother...I wondered if I should...oops that doesn't make sense...bad mothers don't give a shit right? :)) Anyways, I think i might do a non permanant dye on her hair, one that washes out, and I told her over my dead body that she will ever go blonde...She told me to stop acting crazy...she only wants a bit of pink in her hair.

I've been measuring my tortoise again lately, he's grown even more. And my dogs hair is looking so nice, don't know where i'd be without her on my down days.

I suppose I'd better go get ready, as it's time for the mother/daughter time today, she takes longer then me to get ready these days....and she's only one inch off been taller than me, but I think I have the best daughter in the world. We talk a lot about things, she gives me her opinions on topics, and has made me think about so much with her outlook on life. I never have to tell her to go away that i'm busy, because I like spending time with her. She now has some great friends, and stayed out last night, which she now likes doing, she used to hate staying places...but thats not for me to say.

Her best friend comes places with us too, and they are both sensitive kids. Not rowdy, or bitchy...I have only seen Shan bitchy a few times before....and funny how it's never been with her schoolfriends.

I think i am lucky, I don't remember the last time I was pissed off at her, it's been a while now. We bicker, but then we laugh and forget about it, we don't hold grudges all day...which is nice not to have to put up with.

I did worry about her starting senior school, but i think she will be just fine.

She can be a little bugger and is often untidy, but I wouldn't change her ever, or regret having her. So after writing all of this....I probably will dye her hair :)
