My Ever Thinning Hair

Me, April 1994
As I mentioned in my last post, my hair seems to always been falling out! … Before I had kids, I had really thick hair. It was my best feature.. To be honest, it was my only good feature. It was long, thick, and really soft… I loved my hair!
Then came the kids…
Now don’t get me wrong! I would trade ALL my hair for the kids… Any hair loss I have because of the kids is WORTH it… But still…
After each of the kids, I lost an amazing amount of hair in the first few months after they were born, and each time it didn’t all come back. So my hair got thinner after each one was born.
But it’s been 6 1/2 years since Amanda, and I am still getting thinner… I wish I knew some other reasons for hair loss, so that I could see if I could prevent it! … What’s really annoying, is when my “lost” hair clogs things up… Like the fan on the laptop, and the brush thing on the bottom of the vacuum cleaner… Not to mention the drain in the shower! Uhg!
Uhg!

Just monthly female problems, which is bad enough, believe me! … I tend to get hit pretty bad for the first 3-4 days, with terrible cramps, fatigue, and dizziness. The kids are being great though… While Jared is the only one who knows what “female problems” are, they all still know I’m not feeling well, and are always ready and willing to help me out. I have such wonderful kids! 
Isn’t it funny how I can blog about female issues, but you couldn’t pay me enough to mention them on facebook?! *lol* … Too many men in my contact list, including the pastor of the church we went to in Portland. When I am hit by AF, I just facebook that I am not feeling well. *lol* … It always feels a little deceitful, because people think I am sick, when I’m not… But I just CAN’T mention AF. *lol* (Yes, I have issues 
)
Not much going on this week. Just a bunch of homeschool lessons, as we’re getting ready for our 2 week spring break. It’s going to be so nice to have some time off school. Our weekends are getting so busy, that it feels like we never get R&R anymore. I need a day where I can just sit and not think about anything. *lol*
My laptop ... In pieces!
When we got my new computer, we asked our computer guy, Thomas, to look at the laptop… This is the laptop that has been repaired TWICE by HP, and 2 or 3 times by Thomas himself… I was so sick of the eternal problems, which is why we got my new computer (we just want Alicia to get the laptop for watching iTunes, which is why we’re having Thomas look at it again)… Anyway, since last summer the fan has been making this loud, annoying noise. Turns out that the fan is fried (for the 2nd time)… Turns out that a bunch of my hair (which is constantly falling out), had gotten sucked in and wrapped around the fan. *sigh* What a nightmare!
I’m sure Thomas just wants to throw that computer over the fence! *lol*
