I'll just shut up now.

So, yes, I am a very opinionated person. I have all kinds of ideas about all kinds of issues, some of which I share, some of which I keep to myself. Sometimes for the sake of conversation, I will voice my opinion. Case in point. Yesterday I was thinking how badly the one-year-old I watch needs a haircut. I would never come out and say to his mom "it's time for a haircut" but I was sure thinking it. I have major issues about the way my daycare kids come to me. I mean, I don't think they need to be dressed to the T when coming to daycare but often I do have to take the children on errands or to appointments and people think these are my kids. You should have see the looks when I took the kids to walmart yesterday and two of my daycare kids were less than dressed for the weather (no coats, short sleeves and the baby had NO socks!) Owen and I were dressed warm with our coats and Owen had a hat. Oh and the baby's crazy, too long hair. And the time she brought the five-year-old in pajamas except they weren't pajamas I was told. I guess they were leggings for boys. I can't take them places like this unless I bring as sign that reads "They're not my kids People!!" So anyway, I mention that I'm taking Owen to get his haircut today and daycare mom says "ya, baby needs a haircut too. I just can't bring myself to do it." So I say, "that's funny, I was thinking that just yesterday. You can do it. I love it when my kids have just had haircuts. I think they look sharp" You should have seen the evil look she gave me. "well," she says "I don't like the way you BUZZ your boys hair. I think it looks stupid." All I could do was chuckle. I wasn't telling her to buzz his hair (which, technically I don't buzz my boys, I just like it on the short side!). I was just mentioning that I thought he needed a haircut too. Geesh...

I guess I'll just shut up now.
