Sometimes these blog posts are too long…here’s a quick one for you…
My middle child came downstairs to show me the latest artistic masterpiece she had been working on. As I viewed it, I contemplated not saying a word of criticism… I really did. In the end, I stumbled over a few words and the look on my face obviously said it all.
“WHAT?!” she asked with irritation.
“Ummm…it’s just…I think you might want to look at the last word.” I said with hesitation.
Here’s the sign…
“UUUGGGHHHHH!!!!” she cried.
Then she turned and tossed it in the trash.
Weirdly, she wasn’t comforted or humored when I said, through hysterical laughter, that her actions on this particular project were perhaps the GREATEST EXAMPLE OF IRONY I’ve ever witnessed.
People are so sensitive these days.
P.S. Said child approved this blog post as soon as she also realized how hilarious the entire scene was. She may not have followed through on her own “overcoming obstacles” advice but she appreciates funny as much as her mother. 🙂
I'm a mom to three girls (ages 18,16,8) and an Optometrist who also happens to be married to an Optometrist. Despite this fact, my daughter’s school had to make three requests for my child to get an eye exam. My last pregnancy occurred as I was closing in on 40 years old and it inspired to me to launch this blog, chronicling life as a working mom who found herself buying diapers and bifocals simultaneously. When I'm not busy carpooling or doing eye exams I can usually be found on a dock soaking up the water and sun at my Show-Me-State home.

…and middle child’s final response is exactly why she is adored by all who know her.
