Happy Halloween!!! This is my really great picture of Sophie lou Who, age 3. It looks like my gifted daughter was able to look pensive and waiflike on cue. The truth is she found an opened cough drop in the cemetary dirt and promptly popped it in her mouth. I may not get mother of the year again this year but I do draw the line at eating candy out of the dirt of the dead. I should get some credit for taking her out of the cemetary when a very scary looking homeless man wandered out, mumbeling to himself. This was just as the light was getting atmospheric. If you compare this to my friend Kat's blog, she is making applesauce with other perfect oregon mothers while I am teaching sophie how to dodge dangerous homeless persons.
dang, i am so glad you have a blog so i can laugh with you, even if it is 3000 miles away!! your comments are posted on my blog sister, did you see?
ReplyDeleteValerie,
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have international notoriety and it has nothing to do with America's Most Wanted! (I didn't actually lose money on that bet did I? You know how materialistic I can be.) The picture of Sophie is PERFECT. You should submit it to BabyGoth or BabyVampire or MyMomLetsMeEatThingsIFindInCemeteries or some such publication. I love the next blog and your reciting of Bob's many virtues. I am proud that you did not use the words "hunker down" anywhere at all!
In a totally unrelated story.... here's my new favorite saying: "as much as I try to be an easygoing, stretch your wings and fly type..I just can't stop trying to burst people into flames with my mind" Don't you just LOVE it!! I saw it in a magazine.
ReplyDeleteShe is just beautiful. Again, reading these stories makes me feel like I'm not alone. I have many similar experiences, just don't have the time or talent to word them as eloquently as you. One day I'll tell you the story about Kylie slipping in Biko's pee on the kitchen floor-great start to my mornng!
ReplyDeleteyou make me laugh calling ME a perfect oregon mama.... that's too funny. now, i would never think of taking my little witch to a cemetery, that was a dang good idea. then again, we probably don't have such nice cemeteries here, either. our applesauce was way less than perfect and i am not sure if i can convince kat to come back to my little house in the big woods. she froze her ass off last time, and now it's 10 degrees cooler. on another note, my neighbor put up a sign that had the word asshole in it, i read it to my kids and my 5 year old (little witchy) proceeded to say asshole 5 times. i thought it was hilarious. not perfect moms. come visit and see.
