I noticed you haven't been posting much.</p> <p>When my friends stay in a hotel room, they put the pack n play in the bathroom so they don't disturb LO and go downstairs to per if necessary! It might also be worth it to just get a suite.</p> <p>Good luck! It'll all be over soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1026000 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 09:50:51 +0000 lemondrop 1026000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I was there to give you the biggest hug!! You have been under so much stress, but the thing is- you are almost there! You are a strong, beautiful mom, and you've got this. That ugly cry and wine are therapeutic, everyone needs a breakdown from time to time. H and your husband are so lucky to have you, pretty soon you'll be settled again, and will be able to laugh at this challenging stretch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025903 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 08:15:38 +0000 Dandelion 1025903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*hugs!* It's the little things that break ya when you're dealing with the big stuff ! Trust me, it was a little thing that put me feeling like I needed to crawl into a hole and melt down after I lost S. I think your brain and body needed a good cry, so the little things are a better reason to cry than the big stuff. It feels good to ugly cry some times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025853 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 06:47:40 +0000 PrincessBaby 1025853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys are so sweet:). Thank you so much for the support:). I reeeeaaaaally needed it!</p> <p>I am going to the salon this morning to show her how horrid it is in every single spot, and then I am going to tell her that her sloppy self is not putting her hands on me again.</p> <p>And I emailed the girl that was originally recommended to me (specializes in blonde) and am hoping to get in Mon or Tues. i just hope it's not a FORTUNE. Since this is "color correction." Ugh! I could smack this stupid woman for what she did!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025849 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 06:36:28 +0000 littlek 1025849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs. I color my hair and I'm very particular. It's the one thing I don't care how much it costs, I will get it done by someone who knows what they are doing. How long till you are back home? Can you call and get an appt ASAP as you return? I'm sorry things have been so stressful. Hang in there! Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025833 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 05:48:03 +0000 avivoca 1025833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been there. I don't dye my hair, but a bad haircut can make life miserable. I went to a salon (at Walmart of all places, can you even call that a salon?) because I was desparate and couldn't wait until I could go to my regular stylist. I knew it would be bad when the stylist said she preferred to work in KY because they don't require as many classes to get your cosmetology license. She butchered my hair. I have curly hair, and I straight up looked like a head of broccoli. I had 2" long hair on the top of my hair, and I ugly cried when even my husband said it was bad. </p> <p>You're such a beautiful lady, you can rock this hair until you can get it fixed. I'm sorry you are going through such a rough time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025823 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 04:56:09 +0000 sylvie_b 1025823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big big hugs, mama. Once you move into your badass house, you need to have a badass spa/pampering day. And maybe some new badass jewelry. You deserve it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025802 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 03:02:32 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1025802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs mama! You are so strong and have so many things to look forward to soon (sleep trained baby, beautiful new house, DH coming home) and I'm sure you'll get your hair sorted out in no time. I know little things (well they don't seem little) can totally set me off sometimes too. Hopefully wine and a good cry has helped you feel better!! Deep breath, big sip of wine, deep breath :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025799 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 02:58:19 +0000 loveisstrange 1025799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I would totally bawl if someone jacked up my hair too. I havent had it cut in a year because Im terrified. Hair is one of those things that you just dont feel good if it looks a hot mess. Ive totally cried over mine before.</p> <p>I hope you find someone to fix it asap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025743 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 00:45:00 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1025743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs pretty mama! I do my own hair all the time and I have had so many heart breaking mishaps! I so so understand. It sounds like you need a present. Can you get yourself a little present? Hope the hair is fixed and things settle down again for you soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025740 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 00:41:52 +0000 shopaholic 1025740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Girlfriend, {{{HUGS}}}! I needed to pour myself a glass of wine after reading that and before I could reply! Whew! Hang in there! And don't worry - HAIR is definitely something we all can empathize with. I promise you I spent a mini-fortune and an hour on an International phone call once after I got a terrible "wave perm". I mean, sitting in a phone booth in a hotel with frizzy, ramen hair, in PJs, sobbing. I feel ya. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025738 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 00:37:38 +0000 erinpye 1025738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: unfortunately, you can't strip bleach- the hair itself is lightened, so no color to pull unless she got some lowlights.</p> <p>@PrincessBaby: I'm really sorry- I'm a fellow blonde who highlights and if someone doesn't know how to do it correctly it can get messed up quickly. I promise, all the stress and lack of sleep you're going through are making this seem much more upsetting. You'll get it taken care of and be back to your blonde self in no time! Until then, focus on your cute baby and awesome new house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025712 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 23:59:55 +0000 sunny 1025712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs! All those little things just add up and I totally cried when my eyebrows got butchered. People say "it grows back!" or "pencil them in" but it is not the same!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025704 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 23:41:39 +0000 Cherrybee 1025704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What has she done to your hair?? Another bottle blonde here - I also totally get it: my essence comes from my hair (and OMG you should see it right now! Carnage!). Big, big hugs. You can get it fixed, don't despair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025694 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 23:33:03 +0000 MaisyMay 1025694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: If it's a color issue, I had a stylist tell me that using dandruff shampoo will strip color insanely fast, like wash it once or twice a day for a few days and it'll be faded fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025652 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:56:26 +0000 HLK208 1025652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: hugs!!!! </p> <p>Life with DH gone sounds ROUGH! I count the hours until mine comes home...counting the days, that takes a person much stronger than I am.</p> <p>I've been there with the hair. Blonde highlights turned ORANGE and white. It was terrible. I couldn't look in the mirror. I hope that gorgeous house is worth all the hassle and your hair will be back to normal soon!!!</p> <p>Deep breaths! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025642 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:50:23 +0000 LovelyPlum 1025642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh lady. Big hugs. That sounds rotten. Are the wine and or ugly crying helping? Sometimes a good cry helps. But seriously, you are amazing. You know that, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025606 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:28:45 +0000 autumnlove 1025606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: You have a lot going on!

What did she do to your hair?! Like bad streaks? Color?<br /> Anyways, have some more wine, take a deep breath! You can get this fixed and you can power through your house drama! Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025438 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:52:22 +0000 Ginabean3 1025438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boo!

I am not... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025429 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:49:01 +0000 rachiecakes 1025429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I'm so so sorry :( I know exactly how you feel: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-salon-mishap)" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-salon-mishap)</a><br /> When my hair got totally jacked in March I was SO upset. You have so much going on right now, this is the last thing you need. If you're anything like me, feeling like you look fab eases the stress of other things and if you feel like you look a mess it just makes everything worse.<br /> I will guarantee that you think it's worse than it actually is. But you should speak up and get it fixed. </p> <p>I hope the tears, the wine, your friends here on HB and a plan to get it taken care of ASAP makes you feel better tonight. I thank you for your kind words when I was having my hair crisis :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025421 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:44:52 +0000 googly-eyes 1025421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't imagine you losing it over your hair when you spend so much time solo parenting and what not... But it will settle down! Look at it this way: there are so many problems in life that there doesn't seem to be an end to. You have a closing date and a fabulous house to look forward to, and your mom coming to help. I'd try and get adjoining rooms and hang out with your mom while H sleeps... You can enjoy some wine together! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025412 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:40:17 +0000 PrincessBaby 1025412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just called me and I flat out 100% ugly cried on the phone with him. Heaving crying. Couldn't catch my breath crying. Can't handle ugly hair crying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-breaking-this-seemingly-insignificant-thing-broke-me#post-1025407 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:34:08 +0000 pastemoo 1025407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: Right?

Much love yo you. So much stress. It WILL settle down. And then you'll host the hellobee national convention in tour gigantic house ;) &lt;3 </p>
