Fish in My Hair

Photographic proof....

...that hormones are not a thirteen year old girl's friend.

My #3 child, FashionBug, turned thirteen this week. She is a lovely girl, and on most days she would be chosen as Miss Congeniality in a beauty pagent. But then there are those other days, when her title might be Miss Pitch-A-Fit.

ROFL OH MY! My children get exasperated with each other too. Then there are the moments when they are tender with each other that kind of make up for it all. I bet they really do love each other.

Oh, but look how much she seems to be enjoying it. Just remind her that there WILL come a time when he will be bigger and stronger than she is, most likely, and that day is just around the corner. As they say up here, paybacks are hell.

You are my kinda mom....when the kids start choking each other, get out the camera and take family photos!

BTW, how far is nearest hill to you? I've been to TX and have lived in flat Illinois, but I forgot just how FLAT it is out there.
