Life without photoshop

Life without photoshop

Is Dismal!

I told Gary I am going to D.I.E.

if we don’t get it fixed soon.

He laughed.

He thinks I am dramatic.

Please!

Do I seem even a tiny bit dramatic to you?

Of course not, that is silly!

This is a picture of my friend Marsha.

She hates it.

I think she told me NEVER to put it on my blog.

Hopefully she won’t see it!

I think she is so gorgeous!

And here are Kaish and Katie!

In all of their unedited glory!

I love that baby!

And of course I love Kaish : )

Do you remember my friend David’s baby

Sophia?

Isn’t she delish?

Oh, I love her!

I miss her!

And here is a technically terrible picture!

But don’t you just love the happiness?

Those two sweeties belong to my friend George!

He is a super star!

This is Matt and Alli.

You have seen them before.

I love this picture.

I love those children.

They are angelic!

What is your favorite kid name?

Hopefully you will hear from me again on Sunday.

I mean, if I can survive without photoshop…

‘Through humor, you can soften

some of the worst blows that life delivers.

And once you find laughter,

no matter how painful

your situation might be,

you can survive it.”

Bill Cosby

Go say hi to Lolli!

the Dentist ( a long and boring report!)

I have a million things

I could blog about this week.

 

Seriously one million things.

And yet, I can’t fix my photoshop.

And you know how I feel about

having a post without a picture, right?

It is totally and completely unacceptable!

Tomorrow is Writer’s Workshop.

And since I have a few minutes

(and I have no earthly idea

how you post to your blog

at different days and times…

just call me genius : )

I am going to do my post now!

Describe a moment you felt

embarrassed by your parents.
(inspired by 
3 Boys + 1 Hubby = What Next?)

In keeping with my pattern,

I am going to change it around a bit!

This will be a moment

when Kaish felt embarrassed by me!

Because, believe it or not,

I am embarrassing occasionally.

So, Kaish had a dentist appointment

this week.

Please do not ask me if

I completely skipped his appointment

last year.

I mean, how is that even possible?

Isn’t that like the ONE thing

Mothers know to do?

Make sure your kid

goes to the dentist once a year.

It isn’t rocket science that’s for sure.

But last year did pass us by without a trip!

So you can be very sure

I was elated he was going this year.

I called and made the appointment

right in the beginning of school!

So, we set out yesterday afternoon.

I picked him up from school at 2:30 PM.

He was very disappointed

that I had not made

the appointment earlier.

Apparently missing school is the COOL

thing to do in 4th grade.

He also informed me that his classmates

skip out early ALL the time when they

leave for Dentist appointments.

He said they have already been

leaving early this year.

And he mentioned they left

early last year too…

I tried to change the subject so he would not

realize his mother was a

dentist appointment making FAILURE…

So, we get to the Dentist

and I am all like

“Do you want Mommy to go back with you?

Are you scared?

Do you know what to do?”

And he is like

“Mom! I am 9.”

Oh yeah, I forget that sometimes.

So he goes back and I am reading a magazine,

something glamorous and sophisticated

since I am SO glamorous and sophisticated,

  (This is how I look as I am laying in the dentist chair)

and the Receptionist opens her glass

and says,

“Rebeckah, we just noticed you missed

your cleaning last year too.

Would you like to get one done?”

Well, Of course I would : )!

(This is how I actually look in the dentist chair.

I actually GROW a goatee

during my visit…

It’s alarming, really.
You can see why I

skip visits occasionally)

I headed right back to the chair.

Now you should know

that there are 3 kinds

of toothbrushers at our house

1. HATES brushing teeth.

Must be forced at bedtime.

Can’t possibly brush in the morning before leaving

as it makes his breakfast taste funny…

Floss makes him cry.

2. Brushes twice a day. NEVER flosses.

And 3. Brushes morning and night.

Usually after lunch.

Flosses religiously.

Encourages brushers #1 and #2 to brush

and floss MORE frequently.

I hope you can figure out which one I am!

Here is a tiny hint,

my number rhymes with glee.

Any way, I didn’t have a fear in the world.

Our dentist is delightful!

Oh my gosh! I love him!

If you live near me,

(I don’t think I have

even 1 reader that lives near me.)

you should call him!

He will totally make you smile.

Well, that is until you are checking out

and he is telling your sweet kid

that he is cavity free

and you are all smiling and charming

and grabbing your wallet

when you hear,

“When would you like to come back

to get your cavities filled?”

And you are looking around

(like an idiot)

and confused because

didn’t they just say your kid

is Cavity Free?

Oh NO!

Apparently,

this super duper old Mommy

has 2 cavities.

I almost cried.

I totally embarrassed Kaish.

Don’t worry though.

The Dentist said they are VERY tiny!

And he said with proper brushing

and flossing

we will not likely have this problem again!

 

  How often do you go to the Dentist?

Red

Betty Boop in Red.

Kaish in blue!

(Just in case you wondered

who that kid was…)

Red Coca Cola sign.

Wouldn’t that look magnificent edited?

Who can edit?

Photoshop down….

I am dismal!

Our neighbor Kevin!

He was sad his cousin got entered into the

I Heart Faces balloon challenge instead of him!

He wants me to edit

all of his freckles

off his face one day.

Isn’t that funny?

Met this little cutie at the County Fair

in Brookville, Pennsylvania.

I just asked his mom if I could take a picture

of his sweet cheeks!

And she said yes.

Isn’t he adorable?

He had red hair : )

and a Smile that would melt your heart!

  This is Temperance.

Her Mommy is Brooke from

Dinkypops No More.

You can’t tell me she isn’t the

cutest little girl in America.

Or Africa.

Or even Norway : )

I just totally adored her! What color hair do you have?

‘Once in his life,

every man is entitled

to fall madly in love

with a gorgeous red head.’

Gary said he hasn’t yet.

I told him he missed out on that opportunity!

(Unless of course

we have a baby with red hair.)

He said I am a Wierdo…

Did you ever want red hair?

 

Lopsided Beds

Do you get annoyed when you get emails

and they are CC’d to everyone and their brother.

Do you know what I mean?

The emails says something like:

Employee,

Turn in this file.

Sincerely,

Boss

CC

Boss’s Boss

Boss’s Boss’s Boss

Head of Maintanence

Mayor of city

All  Workers in  Department Company

It happens at my job!

It makes me want to scream.

Sometimes I wonder if these

‘super duper educated people I work for’

passed Pre-School

with their interpersonal skills!

(I know for absolute certainty

they did NOT go to my friend

Teacher Tom’s Pre School!)

Whatever happened to

solving problems respectfully.

You know, sitting down

looking someone in the eye and saying

“Let’s work this out! Can I have this file?” I probably wouldn’t be writing about this at all.

If my bed wasn’t lopsided.

I woke up on the wrong side of it this morning…

Hope your day is filled with

a perfectly peaceful work environment!

I will cross my fingers that you don’t get any

CC’d memo’s!

What is your favorite thing about your job?

I love the kids!
