just the presence of this post is a testament to what a smashing social calendar i have... blogging on a saturday night! theMr is working all weekend so it's just me and all of these kids! sometimes i look around and wonder what on earth i was thinking having all of these children. did i never want to live in peace again? then one of them does something sweet like draw a picture of me skinny and my heart is warmed.
have you ever noticed that you can tell a lot about people by what pictures they post on facebook? let me break it down for ya.
lots of cleavage? daddy issues.
no pics of their wife or kids? secretly keeping their options open.
only pics of their kids? gained a lot of weight since high school.
all pics of themselves all the time? i think that's pretty self explanatory!
these are the types of deep observations i come up with in my infinite facebook wisdom. i'm sure you're honored that i shared them with you. how many of you are looking at my facebook pics now to see if i fit into any of these categories?
moving on... i think there should be some kind of law that no mother should ever be potty training at the same time she has a child hitting puberty. it's only fair. you should not have to deal with cleaning up urine while busy ruining someone's life. or so i've heard over the slamming doors. sometimes i just want to look at that teenager and say "don't you know how cool i am? i broke my nose in a mosh pit, dear. (she wouldn't know what a mosh pit is though) i pierced my nose with a safety pin when i was barely older than you! (that one would probably come back to bite me!) i got the whole fifth grade at my elementary school to boycott school lunch in protest of the use of styrofoam trays!" she doesn't care. i don't wear skinny jeans and i have way less tattoos than her dad. i'll never be cool enough. although when i think back to the moms who tried to be cool when i was her age, those ladies were embarrassing themselves. so i suppose it's better to be old and not cool to teenagers than be that mom with a really short skirt on and her eyebrow pierced. know what i mean?
as much as i'm sure you are enthralled by this intellectual repartee, i should probably bathe these kids. sigh...

Funny. though I must wonder what my 'issue' is since I don't post pics of my children, I think I've only posted one of my hubby? Just kidding but I know what you're saying.
i would say that occasional pics of your kids and ones of your homeschool crafts makes it pretty clear you're scoping out a new hubby ;)
I love how you nailed that one on th head of peoples & their issues based on their pics. Oh & when you think about giving birth (my first I was 19) you NEVER imagine them still have bed-wetting issues at 9&12. Nope. You just assume they'll outgrow that when they're 5....
