Unwanted guest!

Fridays are my "free" mornings and at first I was at a loss for what to do, but I have quickly found my way and I use that time to just listen to quietness! I like to go to Barnes and Noble and see what books are out and actually read the back covers to see what they are about... not much time to do that when you go with four boys. So, I was coming back from Barnes and Noble after a nice quiet morning and was on my way to pick up Holden and Gavin from school. At a stoplight I sat just savoring my last few moments of silence and I was running my hand along my neck and chin just kind of daydreaming. A twinge of fear shivered down my body as I discovered something that I had not know was present... a hair! Not just any hair, but a LONG hair. You know the type, the inch and a half long witchy hair! OH MY WORD! What has become of me? How could I not know about this! I tried my best to pull it out with my barbaric fingernails only to make things worse! It curled up like a curling ribbon ... now I had a curly pig tail in my chin! I was becoming frantic! The light would turn green at any moment, I was going to have to walk into school and pick my children up, everyone was sure to see this witchy hair and I was going to be devastated! I could not stop pulling to try to get it out. I imagined myself running into a tree so distracted and desperate to remove this unwanted pest. The cops would come and I would have to have them issue an arrest warrant for all of the so called "friends" who did not love me enough to give a quick heads up on the witch growth coming out of my chin!

I got to the school... still sporting my new curly chin hair... and I had to think fast! So I made sure I had all of my hair down and facing forward so that no one would be able to see it. Now I looked like Cousin IT from the Addams Family... lesser of the two evils at this point! I stopped to talk to NO ONE! Time was of the essence. Get in, get out, get home and remove that hair. I was obsessed, it was all I could think about! Alas, I made it home, and the very first thing I did was rid myself of that unwanted travelling companion! I think from now on, I will take a pair of tweezers with me in my purse for such an emergency as this! ;-)
