Monthly Theme: Photographic Alphabet

Remember to email your submissions to me at wifeof6(at)gmail(dot)com. I will post a link to all the 'letters' that you send me up top and hopefully by the end of November we'll have a full alphabet.

Postpartum

There's a hair in my bowl
There's some hair on my coat
There's so much hair in the tub
-that it's starting to float.

There's pills for my health
There's pills for depression
With a dime for each pill
-I could end the recession.

My chest is all sore
My skin is all saggy
I wish that my clothes
-were a little bit baggy.

I wake up at one
I wake up at four
I wake up at every
-stupid creak in the floor.

I changed clothes last month
I showered last week
As you can imagine
-I'm starting to stink.


There's toys on the floor
There's laundry in piles
Sometimes I just wish
-I could sleep for awhile.

I went to the store
Took the baby along
I thought that I'd...
That I'd... z z z z z z z z

Random Ramblings

Just some random thoughts for you to digest today.

----

I managed to get a shower in this morning. How very nice for me and as always happens when I have five minutes to myself I did a lot of thinking. Then I turned to grab the soap and saw this on the shower wall:

 That would be my hair creating a rather incredible image. So the nerd in me had to grab a picture.

----

And speaking of hair, the Remewin's hair is incredible. At 3 months old she's got so much of it that I get comments everywhere I go. I saw this blog devoted to hairstyles for little girls a few days ago and she had this cute style for when the girls hair was growing in on the sides and back. So I tried it on my little one and believe it or not she had enough!

Ralexwin took her in his arms after I was done and apologized profusely for the torture I was inflicting upon her, but I ignored him. Girls need to get used to these sorts of things.

----

Then I also cut the Vicbowin's hair. I couldn't handle it long anymore. See she's got this dreadful habit of sucking on her hair and it creates the most horrible rats. After one particularly dramatic morning I swore I'd cut it that afternoon... and I did.

She cried profusely and then the next morning announced that it was so much easier to do her hair!-- Ugh kids.

----

Speaking of kids.

The Mischievite said the funniest thing this morning... or rather we had a funny communication problem. He said, "Daddy, Daddy! Fy, fy."

Ralexwin thought he'd said fly and went to get the swatter. Vicbowin thought he'd said five because they had to leave in five minutes.

So I asked. "Were you saying fly or five, baby?"

He nodded. "Fy."

----

And finally today... I'd like to know what the point of Memorial Day is. If it is to remember those that have fought and died in wars, then what's Veterans Day for? And if it is so that we can remember those that have gone before us, then why do we need to set a day apart for that? Shouldn't we always be remembering them?

Tomorrow I think I will post some more photo letters for you. I haven't had any submissions from you guys... Did you forget?

Have a good day!
