Another comic of my life. It keeps me drawing even if it’s simple drawings.

Mental lists…moms understand…
Exhaustion…
Imagine this happening as your eyes are closed and you just hear baby feet and chairs moving. 6 times.
In our living room
She understands completely, but she is at the age of not forming word phrases well…
Just try and feel my lack of energy…

All moms in the world may understand this…

But my daughter loves to clean. She got a set of toy cleaning tools for Christmas from her grandma, and Elizabeth uses them constantly. It’s nice usually, she likes to clean up her own messes and gets upset when she cannot get it clean.

However when you want to relax and your toddler decides it’s cleaning time you cannot say no, because you want to continue her love of cleaning; so that you will have a helper in the future.

So I mustered up the energy and I mopped. The floor is clean but I was exhausted.

My experience today…

I decided to slow things down today and do a yoga exercise video. Just to stretch and strengthen my core. It sounded relaxing.

Going along it was great. Got to the cool down part of the video…this happened.

I had it casted on the TV so the voice said “now close your eyes and relax you entire body”
I felt like I died.

I died. So only close your eyes if you do not have a toddler around. She was so well behaved as I did the video, so I let my guard down…

It was funny that after she emptied my lunges the lady talking said, “Control your breathing, and let out all your air in your lunges,” Elizabeth was just a little bit ahead of the video…😜

Enjoy your weekend 😎

It seems like I get small amounts of time to do art. Finally finished my newest card!! I’ll put the difference between no paint details and paint details. It’s amazing how it changes the entire picture.

I love doing the paint details. I apply it with toothpicks.

Have a wonderful Saturday night ❤️

I got to do some art today!! Baby was busy, daddy was busy, so I did something to be busy.

I haven’t painted in a while but it was fun to get back into it.

I had already painted one coaster awhile ago, but then today I did the other three at once in about 1hr. Lots of layers. Lots of colors.

Eventually we will get some resin and coat them. Then they will be official coasters with pretty art.

Can’t wait to paint again. Probably not tomorrow…

An early Happy Halloween 🎃

Strange Discussion…

Leave a comment

On the IHOP kids menu there was a question “What would your band name be?” I said “Pizzaaaaaa” said exactly like that. I thought that was a good name.

My husband and I were walking out of IHOP and saw a restaurant called Staggering Ox. Then our previous discussion came back…

“What about…Drunk Cow,” my suggestion.

“What about Staggering Sow,” his suggestion

“Beer Beef,” me.

….

My band name is now Drunk Cow. I like that….

Another strange discussion from my husband and me. 🤓

Something I just discovered because of my husband. He went in for a snuggle and then realized, “Agh…you have snot on your shoulder…”

And I replied, “Not surprised…”

Because I have come to discover that my entire person is a personal tissue for my baby.

She’ll be walking around with a funny look on her face and I’ll ask, “you okay, sweet thing?”

“No…,” a soft voice. A little baby no. (Her new favorite word.)

“Okay come here. Mama will try and help.”

A sudden sprint for me and my piece of clean clothing gets a nice smear of snot.

And it’s not like I can leave out a box of tissues for her…no no no that’s like toilet paper to her…it will be torn apart into tiny pieces throughout the house…

So instead my person is usually the tissue.

So I guess this post is for both: all the moms who understand, but also for all the husbands, “yes that is snot on my shoulder, put there by our offspring.”

Have a laughable Friday Evening 🤓

My sister is getting married soon!! I am so exited for her! I am bummed that I am not down there to help and witness, but because of the pandemic I will have to miss it. We will be traveling down afterwards so I will be able to give them their bachelorette/wedding gifts.

This blog post is just for her! I am so happy for her and my new brother-in-law. Welcome to the family

‘Wedding Photos‘ by emily2jane

I painted them a wedding photo. It’s tempera on canvas. Plus a piece of lace fabric. Found out what they would look like, but completely my creation.
