Mommy Bloggin’! The Artsy Fartsy Edition

Disasters: Painting, originally uploaded by shellgreenier.

This is my ode to all the picture perfect mommy bloggers out there with your perfect gardens, your perfect kids, your perfect recipes, and our perfect art. You all lie! This is the artsy fartsy edition.

I finished a new piece today! It’s perfect! and then the kids started to fight, Iz started wailing, I went to break up the battle, came down stairs to make a snack and then got the thought (premonition) “Oh shit” I knew what was going on and that it was too late. All I could do was hold my breath until I climbed the stairs with bowls of cheerios and raisens, two tippy cups of milk and walla. My 95% (so I lied, but I was close) completed piece had new additions…of ink scribbled all over the face of it. Yeah. Whatever.

Oh, my heart sinks for you … although there is some sort of artistry in their scribbles.

One of the things I heard my mother say over and over as we were growing up was, “Can’t I have nice things?!?!”

The answer was usually, “no.”
