The Animal in Me

I love this picture. Or course the boys aren't really scared but I imagine myself to be the Tiger and I imagine being able to strike that much fear in my boys somedays. The bigger they get the harder it is to use intimidation to get their attention....I'm definitely having to switch tactics...


This tortes loved to be rubbed. Like a puppy he would put his head out to be scratched! I have my days when I just want that kind of attention. Could some one just admire me and rub me behind the ears?? We also relate on the dry skin issue...

This is what I feel like when the boys aren't listening to me and I have given up. I imagine I look a lot like this as well. Doesn't he look just disgusted with life? These guys give me the willies! I admire them but there is such a look of knowing in their eyes that just disturbs me. Like he knows exactly how I work but I haven't a clue about him

I also have days like these two. I feel so much affection and love in my heart that I just want to maul my kids and/or husband or whoever I'm feeling affection for...

And then there are these days.....

These Manatees just float around their pen eating lettuce. This is proof that eating lettuce will not give you the figure you always dreamed of!! So celebrate and go eat some chocolate!

There are times when I'm so happy I can't contain myself. Usually when things have gone my way and are working out just the way I think they should! ;)

Sigh, there are those days I have my nose so far up in the air that I miss what is really important

And there are days when I just want to stick my nose in my armpit and ignore what is going on around me.

I know I teased yesterday that I would tell you some big news today. But like most things in my life things aren't going as quickly as I had anticipated. So stay tuned tomorrow.....
