I tried really hard to be a good mom and have the kids be ready for their school photos.  I had washed everything that needed to be washed.  Marissa said she wanted to wear her school uniform dress for the photos.  I ordered Jonathan a new long sleeved shirt for school so that he could have something nice looking to wear in his photo.  The night before the school pictures, I came home from work and Marissa had licked below her bottom lip so much that she was red and purple all over.

It wasn’t pretty.  This picture is actually the next morning.  I almost didn’t even send the money for her photos, but I decided that if they didn’t turn out well, I could always get retakes.  Then, as Jonathan got ready for school, I heard him call out from his room.  “Mom, the hole for my head is too small in this new shirt!”  “No it isn’t,” I yelled back.  “You need to undo the buttons.”  Then he came out wearing his shirt that now looked like this:

Yes, a nice hole was now ripped into the front of it.  Luckily I had ordered him more than one new shirt…but now I had to run into the bathroom, rip the shirt out of its package and iron it as fast as I could since we had to get him to school in the next few minutes.  Luckily I got him there on time.  Then I came home and did Marissa’s hair and tried to apply a little bit of base to her chin to cover the redness.  Adam referred to her photos as “Something she will always remember because of this.”  I mostly thought of it as “Something that will always make me angry.”

Anyway, here is how she looked after a little make-up session….not too bad.
