Totally Terrible Tuesday Things:

Wowee. I hope you'll totally document the hair cut!!! I don't think I've ever had my hair long enough for that. Very Cool!!!!
Glad Jordan is still loving on the Karate. Does he go to a different school for 7th grade?
I'm planning on documenting it at least with before and after shots---maybe even a couple of 'during' shots. I think I'll have it whacked and a new perm put in at the same time. Unfortunately I'm not to terribly fond of my hair too short unless it has some curl or body to it. My hair is naturally straight, baby fine and thick....a hair dressers worst nightmare.
Jordan will be going to the same school as the middle school here is for 5th through 8th grade. They keep the 5th and 6th grade down on one half of the school and the 7th and 8th are in the other half. So, it's a bit like two different schools, but the same principal and vice principal, dress code, and all that.
"A friend in Houston is being abused by her husband and there isn't anything I can do to help her until she is ready to help herself"
Went through the same kind of thing with a friend. No way to help them until they are ready to help themselves. Very frustrating to say the least. I hope she realizes she needs help and gets it before anything bad happens.
She has realized she needs to get out. Now she just has to gather enough courage and internal strength to make it happen. She's sick (we think he is poisoning her) she's scared, and she is totally dependent on him for money.
We've all told her that a shelter will help her, that we will help her---she just needs to finally realize that she just can't go on living like this.
I'm scared the children (ages nearly 17 and 14) are already scarred for life.
