Photos taken by my 7 year old today on Mother’s day. He usually has me coming and going in all directions. Today he photographed me coming and going in all directions.

I promise to be more accepting of myself….
did someone say Bertha????
I promise to be more accepting of myself….

I promise to be more accepting of myself….
It is far enough away no one will see my double chin!!!!!
O promise to be more accepting of myself….. ( the O is a typo but I think I’ll keep it!)
was it Alley McBeal where the guy was fascinated by waddles????
I refer to the waddle under the chin…not the duck waddle.
Does that look like a duck waddle?????
Can they see the beginnings of a waddle under my chin????

Nice mosaic, so fun that your 7 year old took the photos. You look lovely! I don’t see a double chin. Try not to let stuff like that worry you … I know it’s not easy, but it’s really not worth worrying about.
The reply I write…
I turn 49 in October…I will probably worry a little more about it between October of 2009 and October of 2010. After October 10, 2010 it should be a piece of cake! I have my 30 year class reunion this summer…….maybe that is just taking me back to the 70s. I think it was Saturday Night Live that did the spoof on the Butt Sisters and one of them was Bertha Butt! I am so silly sometimes!!! I do think it was Ally McBeal where the guy had the infatuation with the woman’s waddle and would rub his finger back and forth under her chin just mesmerized by that waddle…..it made me laugh then and it makes me laugh now……I think my next “Delicate Reflection” will be my waddle…the skin is getting delicate and I am starting to see it reflecting back at me in the mirror in the morning. Does that count as a delicate reflection? I am not sure.
The reply I wanted to write…
Oh I can’t stop laughing……I am aging “pretty” gracefully…..I am poking fun of myself….I embrace both my waddles…the duck waddle and the chin waddle. I have been worrying about so many things this past week….my work had a massive layoff….my friend died….my Mr wants a divorce and were not even married…..my older son thinks I am rotten to the core (with a little encouragement from his father I would suppose)….my younger son just bit my older brother today at his house while we are celebrating Mother’s day….and he is way too old for biting and never was a biter so why at age 7 1/2 he would bite my brother is a mystery and the crazy thing is I think he bit him the last time we were there….my niece came to the brunch and announced she was put on medication 3 weeks ago for streph and mono…her throat was so sore today she could hardly speak and my 80 year old mother is there who has had pneumonia twice this winter and the last thing she needs is to be exposed to streph or mono….my sister has gloves over her hands because she has broken out in some type of hives…..my older brother wants to talk politics and I am the only democrat in the house of 15 republicans….a little outnumbered and he wants to talk about how much money Obama has spent in his first 100 days in office compared to other presidents…..then my younger brother tells me how our country is going to be all muslims in a matter of years that they are going to take over the county….then I spent the evening at a wake for my friend whom I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to and then I went to a book store to pass some time because I didn’t want to come home.
( I think I sound pretty psychotic in this post. I guess we don’t always like ourselves. I have a nephew who is bi-polar. Maybe I am too. 16MAY09)
