The myth of the perfect baby

This post is part of the Mamatography 2014 Project with Diary of a First Child and Momma Jorje . We are taking (at least) a photo a day, a collage or a picture each week to keep a record of our year.

(Also sign up to be added to a comment group!) Yeah, I'm REALLY late this week! I'm also combining the two weeks to play catch up because I'm behind the other people doing this project and I would like to be on the same week as everyone else.  I'm not gonna lie, this last 10 days or so, my world has been more than a little stressful and if you are a regular reader, you know what I'm talking about. I did another collage because I have not kept up with my picture a day which is really strange for me. Even when NOT doing this project, I live my life in photographs and have ever since I&#

Ok, this one is not my usual brand of posts, but I just had to share it. It's not going to have a ton of pics like some nail tutorials have, but I'm going to explain how I keep mine this long, and what products I use. I rarely have much money to spend on cosmetics, so I really do stick with mainly drug store brands. As far as polish goes, Wet n Wild has about the best staying power and a while back, they came up with an even longer lasting product called Megalast.  It really does what it says it does!  Ok, on to the good part... These are the only two colors I've got of this polish, but believe me...I'm going to be getting several more ASAP. The first thing you've always got to do with ANY pedicure is remove old polish, of course.  I also soak my feet in an Epsom salt and listerine bath (in a big pot of water or one of those foot bath things, but I don't have one so I just use a big pot).  I've got a pumice stone I rub off all the old gr

Yeah, that's my actual name.  Some of you knew that, but most of you just know me by my internet alias Lois Griffin.  Long story short on that is that I love Family Guy, evidently I resemble her character in appearance and my children dared me to use it as a facebook profile.  It kind of took off from there and now virtually all of my internet social networking sites I have that listed as my name.  In the world we live in, I figured the combination of showing my naughty bits all over the world AND using my real name while living in a rather small area in which I was born and raised could be a safety risk.  So that's how that went.  I don't know why exactly I felt like explaining that because this blog is nothing about that really, but it explains the title I guess. I'm having a bad week. Just an altogether fuck shit stack  of craziness that I can't seem to work my head through.  I don't know that I'm any better today than I was when I wrote the last blog.

Basically, the desire to be alone.  Completely and utterly alone for a while.  I love my kids, I love my family, but I'm struggling.  I'm dealing with so much that I just can't manage to get a grip on even one thing and get control over a portion of any of my life.  Yep, it's one of those  posts.  I don't know why I get like this.  I think part of it is my drops in a bucket theory and my bucket just gets full and sloshes onto my shoes and it makes me mad that my shoes got wet.  It's not just the one little thing, it's the everything combined that turn me into the monster.  The yeller as the kids would say.  I'm not proud of it.  I'm not proud that I keep losing my shit, but I do.  I even probably possess the coping mechanisms to not act like a tool, but I don't use them. I live in a house with an adult child that is not finished with school, has no concrete plans TO finish, unless I set it up for her and even then I'll probably have to make

Frankly, I just don't have my head on right and I do plan to post about that here shortly, but I wanted to get this post up and out there first, so here goes... My week in pictures.  It's a collage due to the fact that I did not take a pic every single day which is really weird for me. But this is what I've got for ya! Buncha Phizzy stuff. Added my food porn pic, I actually am well adept at using chop sticks and that shrimp fried rice was amazeballs! So there ya have it. I thi

(Also sign up to be added to a comment group!) Yeah, it's been a rough week. My mom is sure she's very sick and keeps needing us to call an ambulance for her. Both times in the last ten days they didn't admit her though, which only makes things worse at home because it makes her more attention seeking and drug seeking. But moving on...I'm a day late and I apologize, but I'm here! So let's get this show on the road. A lot of the pictures this week are these. For what it worth, I love comments, and it rocked that I got so much encouragement in this direction, because this is my everyday life
