my dready friday

So ever since I started dreading Ive worn my hair up to work because a.] Its a frizzy mess and when its down I feel like a homeless man...and b.] the kids I work with have flexibility issues and I didnt want to freak them out with "new" hair. Today however, was a very lazy friday. I slept in till the last possible second and then just didnt feel like messin with my hair...so I left it down! I was kinda scared going to see my first client...cuz he's actually the worst....he's 3...has severe autism and has complete meltdowns when faced with change. I walked in and his mom looked at me and smiled the biggest smile and said I looked cute today! I sure wasnt expecting to get any compliments on my hair...then the little guy I work with came running up and pointed at my hair....I kneeled down and let him play with it...he loved it! =] It totally made my morning. Then I went to a meeting where once again I was a little nervous about the reaction I would get from my hair....but all the folks I work with and the parents that I consult all said they loved my hair and asked me why I dont wear it down more!!!! Caaraaazy! Anyways...it was a nice way to end the work week! =]

Have a great weekend everybody!!!

OH Mandy! That must have just absolutely melted your heart! I can just imagine a little dude absolutely amazed at your hair. Actually, kinda makes sense as it's so tactile but I guess I would have originally thought the same as you. =) Big smiles for you! May your happy dready Friday continue!
