How to Get to Know Your Child Better (without her knowing it)

  1. Offer to drive her and friends someplace and listen to their conversation.  Become invisible.
  2. Clean out her backpack.
  3. Clean her room.

Trust me. This is much, much MUCH cleaner.

And I know her secrets.

  1. I first read this in my email and the picture didn't come through. I spent a good three minutes analyzing what you meant by "Trust me, this is much much cleaner."

    I thought you were being metaphorical. (Is that a word?)

    It's cleaner than my kids rooms.

  2. I love that my kids are still young enough to not realize that if they are upstairs and we are downstairs (or in another room) we can still hear them. Makes me laugh

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.

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...
