Birthdays, Reflections and PIGS, oh my!

MEET PRISSY AND POP

These pigs belong to my high school friend and classmate, Melissa, whom I adore. We cheered together and graduated together and I am 100% certain we would hang out together often if we lived closer. (insert sad face here)

I miss my high school friends. Tons.

Anyway, Prissy and Pop are super famous on Instagram [@prissy_pig]; they have a picture book, a CHRISTMAS picture book, stuffed animals made after them, they go to appearances, and well, they fancy.

My youngest son is 16 years old.

Suddenly I feel VERY old. He’s just one year younger than my oldest son, who turned 17 four days ago, but the baby’s birthdays make moms feel over the hill in an I-need-some-good-anti-wrinkle-cream-STAT sort of way.

Here is my favorite picture of our family. University Notre Dome Football game

Here is my favorite picture of my birthday boy and me. Cubs game at Busch Stadium

Fun fact: My dogs eat fabric.

Pillowcases, pillows, sheets, blankets, quilts, rugs, washrags, you name it, they actually INGEST them. Nothing is safe. I give them Nyla bones, ropes, balls, other approved chew toys GALORE.

Alas, they are both full of sheet.

Final Thought

It’s a big, bad world out there, political people.

Calm down.

I found this in a presentation I made at school a long time ago when we were embarking on a decision about devices. It still holds true.

And we are still making decisions about devices.

Take one day at a time. Be kind.
