This is My Life


I'm not complaining


I'm just sayin

There's something poetic about the hot chocolate splattered vacuum in the background.

I woke up this morning and decided I needed 15 more minutes to be happy.  It worked and Supermom showed up.  Supermom is my super hero alter ego.  She gets all the school work done, plays horseys, convinces the children to eat all their veggies, does laundry, takes the children outside to play in the snow and then vacuums while the children happily sip hot chocolate.  Unfortunately she doesn't visit very often.  It's usually her evil counterpart, Stupidmom, who stuffs her in the closet, locks the door, and tortures everyone around her.
Anyway, after Supermom served the hot chocolate and vacuumed all the floors her slippy sidekick decided to bring her her mug and it's leftover contents.  Unfortunately Slippy slips a lot and this time she slipped off the bench and dropped Supermoms ceramic Sleeping Beauty mug.   Happily no bones or mugs (amazingly) were broken.
That's life in the day of a super hero.

All I saw in the first picture is the gorgeous smiling face of your beautiful Lindsey.

I agree, I'm not buying the "Slippy dropped it" story. She's far too innocent.

Also, she looks a LOT like you in that picture!

The expression on Slippy's face is TOO CUTE!!!!!! And from one Super/Stupidmom to another, I once read that you should always leave your vacuum cleaner sitting out, plugged in. That way, if anyone drops by, you always look like you were "just about to clean up this mess!" You just have to remember to move it every once in a while, so that dust doesn't settle on/around it!
Love,

Aunt Linda :-)

Yes, Lin, but you forgot that the feather duster should be hanging off the vaccuum, too. Not only does this explain the state of the house, it also covers why you are dressed "that way." After all, it's your cleaning day! :-)

Here is what we were doing and learning this summer when I should have been blogging:)
