We are all frauds in one way or another. I’m sure you will handle it with dignity and grace. Or not. Either way, you two will persevere. And she will continue to love you, the one who has taken care of her all these years, loving her unconditionally and taking care of her the best way you know how That is the true meaning of Mom, anyway. 🙂

1). We went to Disney this past October. I remembered it being a great adventure after the two previous visits we had made, but after this one, I suspect there is a brainwashing magnetic forcefield as you leave the gates that say, “See Ya Real Soon!” The forcefield must have been under maintenance this past visit because I never want to go back. I remember clearly the fighting, long lines, the music that you love the first day and by the fifth want to rip te speakers out of the ground, maybe even consider tripping Micky on his way to sign twenty $12 autograph books before leaving the other fifth kids crying while he smiles in his creepy silence and walks away. Also, Disney is equal to the cost of taking our family on a vacation to Hawaii. What the hell were we thinking spending that much on a theme park?

2) The disheveled look only lasts for a short while. In the next year or two, she will be able to bath herself, and a short while after that she will be able to wash her own hair. Eventually she will want to make her own breakfast, will take pride in a clean room, and will help you around the house, though you’ll have to bribe her in the form of allowance paychecks.

And BTW, you’re adorable, and one day you’ll wake up and feel refreshed, have time to take care of yourself more, and will probably look better (and wiser) than you did before child. Truth. I’ve been through this. Too, I’m seriously considering a 4th baby. Considering that, I’m certain that children come with those same Disney patented magnetic forcefields. Somewhere along the line we forget all that sucked in favor of all that was beautiful, lovely, and special. Kids are pretty magical in that way. 😉

Because it’s around 2 a.m. on a Sunday night, and I meant to start reading The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, which I really do love, but instead I messed around on Facebook and a Carmike friend had you on their friend list, so I clicked…and…well…that was a while ago. I LOVE your blog. It’s hilarious and delightful. As a mom with three girls – and today I did wear some of those zip-up boots and would probably be considered one of those put together mommies you wrote about – I think most of those moms probably look at you and think you’re pretty adorable and cool. They probably wish they had even an ounce of your character and originality. You’re a fantastic Aunt Mommy, and I hope you continue to write. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your adventures.

i love that your not one of those other plastic conformist moms. Own your unique situation and wear it proudly. Your neice daughter will be far more well rounded than most other kids.

Love you!
