I don’t know about anyone else but I have been trying to recover from all that gratituding last weekend and it’s been a long, hard week! Things have been looking better so I thought I’d celebrate with confessin with Glamazon.
Without further ado, I confess:
- I will not be up for any Mom of the Year awards.
- After a brief period of thinking the pregnancy yuckies were over they came back this week.
- Once again, I’ve been 4 days late and $10 short on everything.
- My daughter was “Star of the Week” this week so we had to make a poster about her.
- She kept asking to work on it and I told her we would do it after church on Sunday.
- I came into the kitchen and she had already started.
- This is how it turned out:
- I was so frustrated that she wouldn’t let me help!
- This kind of stuff is a reflection on the mom, right??
- There should have been some dye cuts and cutesy stickers and absolute perfection.
- I guess no one can accuse me of doing her work for her..
- There used to be a piece of candy stuck on it above “I LOVE candy”
- She ate it the first day.
- She also had the privilege of doing ‘show and tell’ everyday and she was to bring MEANINGFUL things to show.
- The first day she took a stuffed lamb she got at Artic Circle.
- The second day, a toy from Wendy’s.
- Now she’s just showing off how much we eat out. Awesome.
- I finally convinced her to at least take the ultrasound picture of the baby to get away from the ridiculous toys.
- But for the most part I just didn’t care what she took because I just wanted her to go to school so I could go back to bed!
- I’m so glad it’s finally over!
- Then the other night my other daughter was making herself some hot chocolate and when she went to pore the near boiling water into her cup, it spilled all over her hand instead.
- Let’s just say it was a traumatic and long night.
- This is how it looked the day after:
- The picture just doesn’t do it justice but it was the entire back of her hand.
- It’s blistering now.
- Poor thing.
- We are also working hard on becoming more white trash.
- Our entertainment center was really helping
- but then ElRey fixed that
- So we had to work even harder to achieve white trash status.
- Luckily, some dillhole tried to break into our second car, broke it in his attempt and now we are left with a dead car in our driveway.
- That helped us come closer to the WT goal.
- We needed something more, though…
- Sooooooo since we are broke and can’t afford to buy real drapes to keep the cold out we did the next best thing.
- That’s right. We hung a blanket over our window.
- Yeah, we’re getting there…

That burn looks so painful! I was browning butter, and when I set the pot on the burner, it caught the lip and spilled all over me. It was only a mild burn, but it hurt for a day an a half!
Oh that poor poor burn. :( And you know sometimes it is best to let kids do their own thing.
And hey, I would do whatever it takes to keep the cold out.. I am such a wimp now when it comes to cold
Her poor hand!
Does it make you feel better that my oldest told his teacher the only thing he was thankful for was tv?
poor little honey!!
Hope she's feeling better soon!
I love me a little WT! We've all got a little bit of it in us!
Oh man, burns are the worst. They are SO painful. I hope she's feeling better.
WT, YES! Although, I know someone who might give you a run for the money for that title. :)
When my son was six his teacher asked the class to share what their favorite dinner their mom made was and at that time I was down and out preggos with his sis, and he told her, "Oh my mom doesn't make us dinner, she orders us pizza."
I think the fact that Annie ate the candy really cements the fact that she loves candy, therefore giving credibility to the whole poster. I think it rocks!
you have some stiff competition to earn the status of white trash in the neighborhood you know. maybe next you could try hanging out all day on your front steps in your bathrobe. but seriously, what a yucky week! i hope things start to look better in the days to come!
Cheeseboy - First Grade teacher here. Those are my absolute favorite Star of the Week kinds of posters. The ones the parents do are all scrapbooky. I'd much rather just see what the kid puts on there.
Cheeseboy beat me to my comment-those were/are my favorite posters to see!!! I can guarantee that she could talk about her poster as opposed to the kids with 10 infant/baby pictures that have to say, over and over, "...and this is me as a baby." Way to go Annie!
My confession...it would kill me to send a poster to school that didn't consist of a few sheets of scrapbook paper and a few cute stickers or buttons-you are a better person than me!
I'm sorry she got burned. That looks very painful. Next time you see my husband you should ask him about the time the Easter egg exploded in his face. lol
The poster was awesome!! I can hear all the kids now saying," but Annie's Mom let her do her own poster!!! I want to do my own!"
At least you try to fix your windows I just keep the broken blinds up at mine. Hahahah I guess I'm closer to being white trash than you. Hahaha
Oh my her poor little hand! OUCH!
I remember putting blankets over my windows and hanging them between the doorways so we could trap the heat into one room. :)
I think Gretchen Wilson sang a song about us: "Let's hear a big Hell Yeah for the redneck girls like me."
Ha! White trash! That make my day. One extra-hot summer, I resorted to putting foil over the windows. Super classy.
Oh! And my neighbors have a great idea to help you reach your WT goal- that broken car out front? Throw a sheet over it and put bricks on the corners. Viola! That's how you really WT it up!
