If you visited me, I would probably do something lame like serve chocolate kisses from a plastic ice cream dish. It's not fancy or showy, but really, would you complain?
If you popped in on me right now, you would notice that...
1. We have the air conditioning off, so it's a bit sticky.
2. School supplies are everywhere.
3. Little Weirdo is confined to the kitchen because of his pee-pee issues.
4. Mr. Cool is conked out on a pile of people blankets because he got so much fresh air this afternoon.
5. My pizza pans are still soaking from last night.
6. One of my drummer boys is practicing. WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
7. We have a collection of miniature flash lights on our hutch. I don't know where they came from.
8. I have chicken "brining" aka thawing for supper tonight.
9. I baked yesterday and could offer you a blondie and/or a sugar cookie bar...with icing!
10. My husband's project is on the coffee table. It involves poster board and sheet metal. I nod a lot but don't really understand what he's doing.
11. We have baby gates and no baby. We are nervous about Mr. Cool using stairs. Even though his back legs are better now, we block off risky areas.
12. Beagles love to bark. Sorry again about the noise.
I know a lot of bloggers lead you to believe they have it all together. I really doubt it. I have NEVER hit that magical day when motherhood, home decor, fashion, and cuisine meshed beautifully. Heck, most of the time I can't even master one of those.
But that's OK.
We aren't perfect and don't care to be. It's more fun to be messy and noisy.
Whoever started these competitions about having the best (fill in the blank) or the most enviable (fill in the blank) or the cleanest...or prettiest...or most effective (fill in the blanks), well, that person is a great big meanie.
The whole mindset of perfection has contributed to women distancing themselves from one another. It's a sad, sad shame.
We need to get over it. Those big meanies can just go wash mini blinds all day.
What do you think?
Hi Kris,
ReplyDeleteI think I'd love to come and visit you, cos I'm a take it as it is kinda doggie and I know you'll have plenty of love to share as do I :)
Hope you're having fun
Your pal Snoopy :)
PS - I wouldn't mind if you want to save me one of those cookies! :)
Oh yes, Snoopy, you would get all the hugs and cookies! Stay outta trouble! See ya.
DeleteWhoa. Take that, you perfectionist mommybloggers.
ReplyDeleteI'll come visit, thank you. I'll huig your beagle, scrub your pizza pans and start your chicken cooking if I can have some kisses (chocolate), which taste way better than those fancy cupcakes you see around blogland.
Ha, thanks Barbara! Chocolate--it's what gets things done!!
DeleteHahaha...love reading those and it'll be nice to visit you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Novroz! I imagine my babies would bark like mad at your babies!! :)
DeleteHave they ever since a turtle before?
ReplyDeleteI have seen some pictures of Dogs and Cats befriend with turtle.
Awwww. I don't think my beagle boys have ever seen a turtle. I'm sure they would bark a lot but just out of curiosity. They love everyone. :)
