My submission to the 200th Color Combo Challenge... and to the worst Mother of the Year 2009 competition (HeeHee)
I know that even though all the scrapbook mags show adorable children, being perfect... they are always well-behaved and cute. So here is my tribute to my problem child.
For those who are wondering... here is the journaling -
If you only knew how much this adorable photo has saved your life!
This is the photo I look at when I am about to strangle you.
It reminds me that once upon a time,
you were a sweet little boy, full of giggles and smiles.
You always did have an attitudeÂ…
like when you called your dad a son-of-a-b*tch at age 3,
and the months where your favorite word to describe me was “idiot”.
Oh and don’t forget age 2, when your favorite saying was “Aw f#*%!”
Eventually, you got out of those stages,
which gives me hope that
you will get over the moodiness and smart-aleck-ness
which are your trademarks at age 10.
IÂ’ll always love you,
no matter how much we fight and argue, but until the day you quit trying to push my buttons,
IÂ’ll just keep this picture handy, for your own protection!

LMBO - I MUST remember to do one of these - an investment in my children's futures! Well done - very cute! (Also, I totally agree with you - Wallpapering has got to be the leading cause of cursing!)

Hysterical journaling! It's not often a relatively new poster gets so many comments--you really hit a nerve with our scrapbooking ladies! Great, funny page, that touches on the unadulterated truth. Welcome to the goals thread! And ditto on the wallpapering comment--wallpapering and planning one's wedding together are two good ways to end a relationship!

Awesome! I could absolutely relate to this page and need to put my favorite baby picts on a layout for these occassions. I have 14 & 17 yr old sons and they definitely "have moments".
