Women I Never Thought I'd Be

1. Before I got married, my best friend from college called and asked me to come over to see what she got for Mother's Day. She had two small children 11 months apart and I was still single. I envied that she got to celebrate an extra holiday and get presents. I arrived to find her standing on a small mountain of dirt in the driveway. "A whole truckload!" She announced, proudly.

This year I asked for a tiller for Mother's Day.

2. My friend, Lisa, has six children, her husband is the bishop in her ward, and she was a newly called Primary president. She told me that she was so crazy lately that she got out of the shower the other day and didn't know if she had washed herself off. I chalked it up to six children. I only have four.

Last week I got to the garage before I realized I didn't have on a bra.

Happy Mother's Day all of you crazy mothers!

  2. Some of us can't help but notice the bra thing immediately, and all is wrong in the world until that is taken care of. Thanks for the smile today.

  3. lol~!

    I am "this close" to shaving my head. It's got to be more than a boatload of mediocre hairdressers. I chalk it up to one child, one busy husband, and not enough creativity to fit personal hygiene into my schedule on any sort of regular basis.

    Hope your Mother's Day was good!!

  4. Have you ever had to wonder why one armpit is Secret Spring Fresh but the other armpit is not-a-secret super stinky? Thats me. Thank ya very much. Good thing I only have one kid or who knows what kind of shape I would be in.

  5. oh tears filled my eyes as the laughter came out of my mouth! Just as they did when I read your comment of the Meanest Mom about going home to take a nap during church...man I wish I could do that, darn callings. I realized the other day that since I had my twins two years ago, I have NEVER left the house without going back inside to get something I forgot...sometimes it's a child, one time it was my shirt.

Braces!

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
