A Single Daddy’s Blog

Single Parenting from a Father’s Perspective.

So I spent the weekened in Texas with my friend I have talked about in other posts. She is my friend and my love.

Anastasia stayed with my sister in Arizona.  FREE!  Right? For one weekend I would have no responsibilities and be free from parenting. Not exactly.

By the time I reached the airport in Phoenix I was already missing my little girl. I was definitely excited about the weekend ahead although missing my little one.

Anastasia agreed to keep her cell phone close so to her so we could keep in touch through text messaging and calling.

Saturday morning her phone was dead, well or turned off. I tried to call her and it went straight to voice mail. I waited about an hour then called again. Then later on in the day I called my sister because Anastasia still had not texted or called me back.

Turns out Anastasia’s phone was dead and she couldn’t find her charger. So instead of telling someone she let her phone die. I told her she needed to find her charger. So my sister and her looked and she found it.

Funny how as a child so many things are so important. Anastasia had the trust that my sister would have her phone and I would be able to reach her and get to Anastasia at any time.

I’m sure her mind didn’t think that all the way through, although the trust of her Aunt was there, so she didn’t need to worry about her phone.

I am one lucky dad.  Because my daughter is 10, that means, I DON’T have to choose hairstyles for her anymore.  I still govern the process, although I don’t need to run the process anymore.  Now Anastasia picks her own hairstyles.

Even luckier, she had a bright idea to consult her Aunt and they, together, decided on the haircut that would best fit what she wanted and would look great!

I think they did a great job.  Check out the pictures:

She just got out of the shower and her hair is still wet, although you can see she got it cut short.  Her hair was down to the middle of her back.  She got at least six inches cut off.
