VAIN---VAIN---VAIN

OK so I DON'T have ANY REGRETS! But I am feeling a little something...I just don't know what. Before I even knew I was having a girl, I knew that I was going to pierce her ears! Why, I knew that, I have NO idea. So after I had Sawyer, I kept debating when would be the best time. In my family we had to wait till we were 8. I know other families that had to wait till they were 18! When is a good time, who knows, but I guess I decided that tonight was the time!

But here's the thing, I think I had one of those experiences that you wonder why you're even trying to do the thing that you are doing. I think I had 5 obstacles to try to defer me, but I just kept pushing. I just didn't listen to that little thought that said Not Now.

#1. It costs about 30 bucks nowadays to get your ear pierced.(I remember piercing mine for about 10!) I didn't want to spend that much, but there was nowhere cheaper.

#2. I didn't have my license with me, and they need the number on your ID to do it(Mic didn't have his either.) So we finished walking the mall, and went out to our car, that was parked clear on the other side. Got our kids in their seats, started driving away, and Mic said if you really want to I will drop you back off. So I grabbed my Id, and Hayden and I ran in.

#3. They couldn't get the pen mark to where I thought that they were even, 10 mins. later, I finally thought they got it right. So now we are waiting for the other girl to come and help, and the guilt set in. I thought to myself, should I really do this?

#4. Right before they are going to click the gun, one of the girls drops the earring out of the gun, and has to reload it.

#5. They pierce her ears, she is already crying because you have to hold them so tight, so they don't move, and I hear Oh No! The package on the actual earring was mislabeled. And she was in a hurry because the other girl was waiting for her so she didn't check to make sure she had the right earring. So they pierced her ears with two different earrings! The girl kind of looked at me like "OK what should we do?!" I thought "how the hell am I supposed to know, what should you do!?"

Anyway they hurried and took out the wrong earring, waited a minute, and re pierced her ear! Great as if its not bad enough the first time, lets redo it! That is just what I want for my 5 month old!

Needless to say, maybe tonight wasn't the night. I have NO regrets that I did it this young, maybe just not on this night. I was just Vain---Vain---Vain!!! But I do have to admit, I LOVE them, and she looks really CUTE!

I'll learn..................eventually!
