The Taboo Post~!~!~!

So here is the post. Many of you have already figured this out but I feel like time has passed and things have died down that I now can post this post. First off let me give you some background. I have wanted to get Mia's ears pierced since she came home from China. I would ask Kevin what he thought about piercing her ears and his response was usually just "Lets just let her choose when she is old enough." I was always fine with that response but lately I have desperately wanted to get her ears pierced and I was quickly realizing there was no way I was going to be able to wait until she was 5 or 6 years old. Therefore since Kevin's response was still just kind of ho hum, I decided to just go ahead and do it. One morning I woke up and said to my self that today would be the day. I just decided to go for it and deal with Kevin's response later. Truly and honestly, I thought Kevin would be like "Oh Christy, you should have waited but oh how cute you are Mia" and all this would be behind us. That was not exactly how it went. Kevin was not too happy-- not so much that I got her ears pierced but that I didn't talk to him about it before. I felt horrible and told him that if he wanted to take them out that I would be happy to do so and I would go along with whatever he wanted to do. After a week or so Kevin seemed to be fine and it seems to all be behind us. So, I decided to post the picture. Lesson learned-- don't pierce your daughters ears without asking your husband!!

I was filling out the paperwork. Mia had no idea what was about to take place.

Showing my drivers licence-- really not sure why.

Ignorance is Bliss!!!

Mia wanted to fill out the paperwork as well.

More paperwork :)

Blurry but just so darn cute!!!

Still happy-- the storm is coming!!

It is coming close-- hold on--

What is this lady doing to my ear???

OK, I am not liking this too much-- what is going on??

Why are you drawing on my ear??

OK now I am not happy-- what the heck are you doing to me-- mommy help!!!!

That is the point where I put down my camera to attempt to comfort my daughter-- So, next I had to bear hug Mia so they could do one piercing and then turn her head so they could do the other ear. It was fast and quick but Mia screamed like crazy but the second they pulled out the sucker she was a bit happier as you can see.

Still not too happy but the sucker is helping.

Look at those pretty ears.

You know it hurts to be fashionable.

And that was about it. After these pictures I went up and paid and by the time we were walking out of the store she was happy and was not crying at all. She has done fine with the piercing. She doesn't touch or bug them at all-- which I am sooo happy about. She looks so cute with earrings!!!!

Tonight we went to the LA county Fair with Chuck, Susan and kids. We had a great time and i will post pictures soon.

This next week is going to be crazy. Kevin leaves tomorrow to go to Long Beach for some sort of gun school (MP5 I think) and wont be back till Thursday night (spending the week in a hotel). Then Friday he leaves to Vegas for a Bachelor Party for one of our good friends until Saturday mid day. He then gets home and has to work a DUI checkpoint on Saturday night, work on Sunday and then another checkpoint on Sunday night. Then he works Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday until he is finally off on Thurs, Fri and Sat. Poor guy he is going to be sooo busy and I am sure very tired. I will of course be a single mom for a week and a half and while I am not excited about it, I am glad to be in my shoes and not in Kevin's. Plus, the beginning of this week will be taken with Laura visiting so I'm sure I will be fine. Ill keep you posted!!
