Bad, Bad Mom

So, what lucky mother gets the Bad Mom award? Well, that would be me. Girl #1 always eats lunch in about 2 minutes and doesn't eat much. Then 11 minutes later she is "starving." I'm tired of throwing away food. It's a typical day and she eats her two pieces of chicken and then wants to be done. I tell her she has to eat all six pieces of chicken (oh! the abuse!) or she can't leave the picnic table. Well, she's my drama queen with a capital 'd'. She cries and screams and carries on. And on and on and on. She stops crying and I look outside. Where did she go? Why didn't she eat her chicken? Dammit!


Then I go for a closer look.



She has passed out and taken a nap on the driveway. She used to always fall asleep all over the place. Some of you might remember this post or this one. Yes, that's an ant on her forehead. I took her inside and let her sleep on the floor and I de-ant-ified her.

In other news, the binocular cases are finished. I couldn't find anything that was like the original ones so I improvised. I used jeans-style post buttons and reinforced the back with a button so the smaller post couldn't pull through the neoprene.




The father in law is happy so I am too.
