Wigs and Makeup

This morning Gabby came over at 7:30am to help with the boys.

I signed up for a class though the American Cancer Society. It is called Look Good Feel Better. I was by far the youngest person there. There was one women who looked to be in her 70s, 2 in their 50s maybe, and one maybe late 40s. We did get a nice big bag full of brand name cosmetics. The instructor talked about how to apply eye makeup and make it look like you have eye lashes. She also showed how to draw on fake eyebrows. She drew some on me, even though I still have my eyebrows. I thought I looked kind of silly. The pencil she used was too dark for me.

After the class I drove over to the American Cancer Society main building (at 183 and 290). I was told they would give me a free wig. My hair is slowly starting to come out. I’m not yet getting clumps, but I do get quite a few strands when I run my fingers though. The people there were very nice. This one woman spent a lot of time with me trying on different wigs. She said I was allowed to pick 2 wigs and 2 hats. I got a blond wig and a red wig. When she first pulled out the red wig, I wasn’t so sure I wanted red, but it actually looked decent on me. She also went over a lot of the different services they have available. Anyway, I was very impressed with the ACS.

When I got home Blanca was getting lunch ready for Evan and Noah. Noah was really cranky for some reason. Blanca helped me put Noah down for a nap and I sent her home while Evan finished his lunch. Both boys took good naps.

I showed Evan the wigs and hats I got. He was very excited and wanted to try them on. Below are some pictures.

For dinner, one of the mom’s club moms brought dinner over for us. She made a salad and cookies and picked up pizza for us. It was so nice not having to make dinner tonight.

We put Evan and Noah to bed. Noah is sleeping, but Evan is still up.
