I’m taking the girls in to get their hair cut today
Mine too
Truthfully?
Mine’s more like a trim with a dash of peroxide thrown in for good measure
I’ll have you know I work HARD at looking this cheap!
My inspiration?
I’ve always thought she was kinda cute
In an orange-cougar-leathery way
Then we’re going to Grandma’s house for her birthday
The girls are excited
They like seeing Grandma & Grandma
But really?
It’s all about the cake
Quick story
The first time I ever met my mother-in-law (grandma)
It was the middle of winter here in Chicago
Snow, cold all that fun stuff
And she asked me (in her heavy Chicago drawl)
So what do you think of this weather?
I tried to be polite
I actually like it – we don’t have the snow where I’m from in Australia, so I really enjoy it
Which is technically NOT bullshit. I DO like the snow.
But I also don’t have to shovel it!
She replied with
This weather’s good for one thing
I’m thinking skiing, snowboarding…
And she says
Fucking.
This weather’s good for fucking
And that, people
Is when I cast aside all fears of being ‘too much’ for this family
If anything
I’ve turned it ‘up a notch’ just so I can fit it
Count your blessings…the first thing my Mother-In-Law said was, “You’re too skinny, wear too much make up and your pants look like they’re painted on. What do you do for a living?” BITCH!
The last thing my Mother-In-Law said, “You’re too fat. You were too skinny. Why can’t you be just enough…like normal people?”
As I said…The LAST thing my MIL said…
