Nudge The Nest & Pray They Fly
Thanks to Sadie’s hard work today, my second book is completed and ready to be sent to my agent! I appreciate prayers, happy thoughts and good karma that my agent falls in love and can sell it quickly. (All you writers who realize “quickly” can mean a couple of years, give me an “Amen!”)
Here’s what Sadie thinks of her Momma’s haters. (That is MY mother laughing maniacally in the background. Can you tell she thinks Sadie is so cute?)
When I got out Sadie’s Halloween costume last week Aubrey said, “Oh Momma! Is Sadie going to be a bumblebee?”
Me: Yes.
Aubrey: Why? Because she hurts everybody?
Me: NO!
*on the inside thinking…maybe yes*
How can someone that cute be so flippin’ rough?
My best friend, Sister Wife, aka Crunchy Yogurt Organic Whole Grain Momma, decided to be a real smart aleck during our tailgating party on Saturday and pour Coke in my baby’s bottle. I realize I’ve wooed myself into her children’s good graces via Cheetos, slushies and the occasional Fruit Roll-Up I pack in Aubrey’s lunch box for Sister Wife’s son, but this was extreme. Especially for someone who only buys organic milk.
Don’t worry. Sister Wife’s baby, who has been off the bottle for months (what a quitter, no bottle at 18 months. PSHAW I say to you!) was toting her veddy own Coke bottle faster than you could say, “Silver amalgam fillings.”
THIS is what you look like….
When you eat your ice cream cone like it’s a chicken wing….
It is 12:51 PM in Mississippi and Sadie has been rocking her fairy wings since before 8AM.
Places she’s worn her wings (ahem, and her pajamas today):
-to 15 different businesses, boutiques and restaurants as I dropped off magazines.
-to visit an elderly lady from our church.
-to JC Penney (which is the ONLY chain department store in town) where she ran, squealing, through the store. If it hadn’t been for the wings, her giggles, and her fat butt bouncing around, I would have been totally ticked. But all I could do was laugh hysterically while pushing an empty stroller and running behind her.
-to Zeb’s office.
You would think wings would be uncomfortable in a car seat but she doesn’t seem to mind.
Sadie thought it was hilarious to have hair. And yes, still with the bottle– I said she was going to suck it until kindergarten and I’m not a quitter. And YES, she went to Wal-Mart in her pajamas. But both of her sisters got to school early, my husband is out of town and I had on a bra, makeup AND real clothes, (as opposed to my black Old Navy yoga pants that are no longer really black but more, well, navy and have never, EVER been worn to do actual yoga.) So don’t hate on the bottle or the pjs.
Got it?
