![| There have been days over the last 8 or 9 months where I have found myself frustrated with P's curls for not "acting right". ๐ As you know, no two heads in our house are alike -- at all -- so hair products, routines, and apparently curl patterns [for hubby + the kids] are endlessly evolving.
It's a common misconception that only white mama's have a learning curve when it comes to having kiddos with a hair texture different from their own, but in the words of Maury, "That's a lie." We all struggle ya'll! Some more than others, but the distinction between the two isn't race -- it's knowledge. Trial + error are the name of the game, and my most recent lesson has been in learning what haircut works with the different patterns on P's head. A year ago, her curls changed from perfectly tight ringlets to perfectly wavy, ringlet-y, zig-zaggy "curls". ๐ She has loose waves on the undersides of the back of her head, so I gave her a "V" or a "U" cut [๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐] to shorten those low hanging side waves so that when her hair is dry + styled, it all appears to be the same length.
This curly hair journey takes a village, Google, some You Tube videos, and some IG curlfriend stalking -- but we gon' get through it, ya'll! ๐

I'm always tired ya'll. Let's talk about this month alone. In addition to keeping up with every day things in my household, I have to manage an active ๐ถ who takes medication for an autoimmune disorder. I have to speak at my kid's career days, make sure they have what they need for school field trips (Daddy too since he chaperones), help with field days for two kids, and finish planning MJ's birthday + mail invitations for a party that's next weekend. I have campaigns due + criteria to meet for those, videos that require prep work before I send them to editing, grocery shopping, errands to run, doctor appointments to schedule, workouts to get in, meal prepping, taxes to finish, etc. I also have an overwhelming amount of events to attend this month (3 this week, alone). I do my best to show up + support my friends when they host functions (I know a lot of boss women that do a lot of bomb things ๐๐พ), but the reality is, I'm usually sitting there thinking about all the things I have to stay up late to do that night, or just praying to God I make it home without falling asleep at the wheel.
