I am just completely worn out by the energy of my children. Accalia is just now sleepy enough to go to bed, and she didn't even nap today. Cole has just fallen off to dreamland, too. It's been a rough day for him. He was pretty cranky. I think it's due to teething, and I guess I'll just have to patiently wait for that first tooth to pop up. Accalia never seemed to be bothered much by her first teeth. Now, if Cole is anything like Accalia, he has nearly four more months to go before his first tooth makes an appearance. I really think he will be earlier, though.

We had an uneventful trip to the library. Accalia started picking out books at random and instructed me to go pick out a movie for her. I do go through the books she's chosen and put some back because they're either way too long for her or I know she has absolutely no interest in them. But she loves to be read to and is showing me that.

We also stopped at the childrens' consignment store in town - Peek A Book Boutique - where I found two sleepers for Cole for a grand total of $5. Now he should make it through the rest of the cold weather, and then we'll have to get him new pajamas.

I had my hair cut tonight. When we lived in Yankton before, I just loved my stylist. Unfortunately that place closed during our absence and I have no idea where my stylist is now. So I've been going to the Regis Salon located in the mall. That way Cory can walk around with the kids and be amused during my haircut, and Cole has easy access to me if need be. It won't be long before I'll feel comfortable leaving them all at home for my haircut, but I'm not ready yet :) Yes, I could just pump a little for Cole in case he's hungry or thirsty while I'm gone, but I'm lazy! I think I would be an absolute failure if I worked outside the home. LOL!

Anyway, I think I'm going to find a new stylist. First, my haircuts take forever! My stylist apparently can't cut and talk at the same time because she stops working on my hair every time she says something - and she's chatty! Now, I don't have a lot of hair to work with, so it shouldn't take long. But it just drags on and on! And, she cuts my hair like a boy's. Seriously, that's what it feels like. I told her at the start that I like my hair razored because it thins it out and adds some layering, which is what my hair needs in order to look halfway decent. She told me she does something similar - which other stylists have told me, too, and it's been fine - but she just doesn't quite get it. I hate searching out new stylists. I really wish my hair were all one length and just required a basic trim. Now that would make life easier!
