Mom of the Year Award



I have been awarded the very prestigious and sought-after title of Mom of the Year! This award came after a very inspiring day of wonderfully maternal and nurturing activities, including:


a) accidentally locking my son in the car while he was holding the keys resulting in his being stuck inside for over 45 minutes

~and~

b) walking into my friend's kitchen to find my baby eating dog food.


I am so proud.

Like the time I had two of my babies sitting in the double jogger stroller on our driveway and forgot to set the brake as I walked away. I was digging for sunglasses in our van as I heard them yelling, "Mama!" I assumed they were fussing to start our walk. With my head still deep in the van I said, "Hang on!" Then looked up and found that they had rolled down the driveway and all the way across the street. I wanted to call CPS on myself.

Happy Mother's Day Amber!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I love the way you tell a story.
And don't be so hard on yourself, I ate dog food until I was five. Seriously.

Melissa's lying. She blends dog food into her martinis to this day.

My mother left me in the hot car when I was a wee tot, and I wasn't smart enough to get out. I think it's always the kid's fault. :)

Ahhh, I'm SO looking forward to motherhood...and some jail time...

Or like when I was at my sister in law's house and I was like, thank goodness Torin is finally playing on his own...QUIETLY...only to realize that a baby gate had been taken down and he had managed to climb to the top of the stairs, and when I finally got a clue I went to find him...and there he was at the top of the stairs looking down, the wheels turning in his big old head...
