Good Morning!

Ahhh! It's 4:50 am and I'm back in the Tucson Airport. I'm rockin' it out to a little Rancid (Back Up Against the Wall, which is funny because I'm about as far from having my back up against the wall as possible, but I like the song...) Getting up early was surprising easy this morning. I think I might be an early person. I'm skipping the coffee for the first leg of this journey in an attempt to possibly catch some sleep on the plane, though I'm pretty hyped, so I doubt I'll be able to.

The weekend was great! I dug a couple holes for our dessert friendly blueberry bushes, mowed and edged the lawn, cleaned the garage, picked up a good chunk of the house and actually cleaned the master bedroom. Our poor room has the door shut most of the time to prevent my inquisitive daughter from emptying all the bathroom cupboards, so sadly it gets neglected for cleaning a lot. It's sparkling shiny now though!

My son's hair was getting a bit ragged, so we told him he had to trim it a little this weekend. We told him he was welcome to keep it long, but in order to maintain hair health it needed to have the edges clipped. He agreed and sat on the hair cutting stool.

While Kris was in the back room looking for hair cutting equipment, Elias asked me "Is your hair short Dad?"
My hair feels long to me right now, so I answered "Medium Short".
He said "I want mine Medium Short."
"Ok, are you sure? You don't have to cut it short."
"Yes, I want mine medium short like yours."
"OK!"

Kristin queried him again with a similar exchange when she returned. He insisted he wanted it short. So we cut it.

I was starting to like the long hair, but it's really neat to see my son with a haircut. It looks really good and you can see his eyes again! He seems pretty happy with it, though I think it's increased his changing of personality. Now he's a different person every half hour instead of every day. He went through being Carlos, Ralphie, DA, and even Elias yesterday, and alternated them frequently. When he 'became' Elias again, I told him welcome back.

He said, "I've been gone a really long time!" heh heh.
