The things we do.....

Today I went to have my eyebrows waxed because they desperately needed it and I can not do it myself. Whenever I tweeze I sneeze. I have had this done for a couple of years its my only vice other than chocolate. I don't do my nails, I don't really even have nails and what nails I do have usually have paint underneath them. Today however had I known what was about to take place I would of stubbed my toe, given birth, or even passed a kidney stone instead. The place that I go to is right down the road and is convenient and cheap and of course no one there speaks English. Preston went with me and sat in a chair beside me and I'm pretty sure that he is permanently scarred now. First off the wax was way to hot and if you have ever spilled candle wax on you then that is nothing because this wax was way hotter and I could smell singed hair. Second of all she ripped the strips off extremely slow and very painfully. So painful that I believe half of my skin is left on those strips. Fast is best when it comes to removing something painful. Not slow and agonizing. Third, because she was doing it so slow and lifting my eyelid a good 3 inches up with each slow yank my eyes were watering so bad that I couldn't see. Water was running down my eyes so much that even my son asked mommy are you OK. I didn't have the heart to tell him no this woman is slowly punishing your mommy and you should run for your life before she decides to torture you as well. During this procedure I put my hand in front of my face twice and told her that hurts just give me a minute and because she doesn't speak English or could care less about what I said all I heard coming from her was OK and she kept going. I had to sit in the chair for a few minutes before my sight would come back to me and of course Preston just kept looking at me as if he was saying why in the world would anyone do that dumbass. We finally make a run to the car and as we are driving back and I'm putting tissues to my eyes to catch the water flowing out Preston says to me "mommy your eyes have boo boo's." Yes son the mean Chinese woman afflicted her anger upon my innocent eyebrows and you should be thankful that you are not a girl.
