This week has been a mixture of "I Got this" with "What the fuck is going on here?" Regarding the art thing, I got this. I am re-focused on the suns. I feel like I have found my voice on the novel. I bought silver paint. I hired a house cleaner. I got myself and my children to all our appointments and stayed under budget at the grocery store. I mean, really, if I could still do back flips I would.
Also regarding the art thing, I have a friend who loves the black and white sun. It originally was a tattoo idea and it didn't seem right to frame it. Then it came to me...a t-shirt! Perfect. I came home from the t-shirt shop excited. Feeling all proud of myself, I waltzed into my house to a horror show. Khaleesi had gotten into the trash. The bathroom trash.
Khaleesi, of my son's dog, who is now my dog. Khaleesi, of doesn't even have dragons, or a blonde. Khaleesi, of the misnamed dogs and I feel like fool when I yell for her. Khaleesi who is lucky she is cute. Khaleesi, of the bathroom trash all over my house.
This was taken after she got into my daughters make up; that's liquid foundation on her face.
Then my daughter flipped shit because the light washed skinny jeans she wears every day were dirty and I held fast to the house rule of 'Leggings are not pants. They must be worn with something that covers your butt'. My youngest hollers from the bathroom, "Mom! Mom! MOM!" I hurry to the bathroom only to have him grab my arm and shout, "Poop arm! I poop armed ya!" I'm all silently to myself, "What in the Sam Hell is going here?" I go wash like a surgeon...twice because it's time to cook dinner.
My husband came home and asked, "Are you drinking whiskey?' I mentally counted to 10 before I quietly answered, "Are you questioning me?" He was tempted to say yes, but he is wise and just backed away slowly.
I am currently hated by teenage daughter, cause of concern to husband and defiled. For the record, at one point, I had it going on. At one point I had this!
Cue the music...
