I did it with the older girls the first time I was on maternity leave and this time is no different. \u00a0As ugly as you are, I keep going back to you. \u00a0But with no make-up and 20 pounds still to lose, you are not helping me out one bit. \u00a0Please know that I have made a haircut appointment for September 28 so you will continue to get some love for 2 more weeks (although my goal is to a lesser extent) but come September 28, we must part our ways. \u00a0Bun it has been real, but I must say goodbye now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Bun leaving the
