Unadulterated Ramblings of a Peanut

Do you feel like reading the prophetic words of a cynical stay-at-home mom who gets all her news from daytime talkshows and Court TV? Well OF COURSE you do! Have the honor of witnessing me getting crazier & crazier by the day! I will chronicle such hard-hitting subjects as the reasons I HATE Tom Cruise, why Larry David is my own personal Jesus, & my neverending struggle to keep the items on my shelves spaced evenly apart. You'll laugh, you'll cry...but most of all, you'll be like, "Ummm, what?"

My Little Goth Baby

So yesterday since Ava was acting like a COMPLETE goth, all moody and throwing herself on the floor and stuff...I decided to dress her in her "Siouxsie & the Banshees" black dress, paired with her ladybug moccasins.
The picture to the left is of her contemplating the meaning of life and trying to determine just how angst-ridden her life as a baby is. She's trying to illicit sympathy from her crazed mother by trying to look all cute in her little goth dress...but I'm just not falling f
or it.





Here in this picture to your right, she's yelling and trying to explain why her life living as a baby in the suburbs of Minneapolis is so darn torturous. She is threatening to run away and saying that I'm really going to be sorry. At this point, I'm totally onto her game.


This is a picture that Lily took when Ava
thought that no one was looking.
Do you see her smug expression of
satisfaction on her "innocent" face?
She ~thinks~ she has me wrapped
around her little finger. She has no
idea what I have in store for her!
Ah ha!!! It's payback time for little Ava Caroline!! I thrust the broom
into her pudgy little hands and made her sweep our lovely vinyl floors circa 1982. You want Goth?? I'll give you Goth!!
Of course Ava requested that I put in Siouxsie's up-beat song
"Peek-A-Boo" because as Ava said, "It puts her in the mood for a little cleaning".
So that was yesterday...all filled with drama and angst.
Makes me think she's going to be a chip off the ole' block...

Quite the story you tell, complete with photographic illustrations :) Too cute, and yep, guess it's never too early for gothin it up. Although be careful, cuz when she gets older and wants to rebel, she just might end up in pastel blouses, or mebbe sports logo'd sweatshirts :P
