You're a better mom than me.

Before we get into my awesome skilz of a parent, let's first get into my mad picture linking abilities. Behind this click is the link to Sarcastic Mom's Weekly Winners, which has lovely little graphics and everything but clearly I am too Blond, Dumb or Tired to make the graphic magically appear. Trust me, it's there.

And now, pictures that should make you feel better about yourself.

I wouldn't exactly call any of these winners, but they do go to illustrate a point. This poorly lit picture is of my crazy smart toddler. She got The Pukes. What did she do, with no prompting AT ALL on my part? She ran to her Dora potty and puked in it, that's what. How the hell did she know to do that? See my 7 year old helping here there? Yeah, exactly .34 seconds later, he turned around and yelled at me for taking pictures instead of helping his little sister. I froze my poor son's little piggy-wiggies off just to take a fuzzy picture of him by a great big gift box that gave exactly not one shit about. New Years Day = new cabinet configuration = Momma's busy for a while and why don't you eat some grapes? A helpful addition to that equation would have been putting away the skewers first.

Whoops.

I love the grape skewer. A budding artist....or....acupuncturist.

OMG! Poor thing :( It suppose it must be innate human intuition to puke into toilet-like receptacles...I'm sure she'll love you for taking that pic in a few years ;)

ROFL at the skewers!!!! Hey, you gotta admit, it is a work of art :-)

That is hysterical! Puking in the Dora potty..poor thing but hysterical..one to keep for sure!

January 6, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMP

wow. it never would have occurred to me to shot pix when my kid was puking. this is brilliant!

and the skewers are good too.

When Alex ate the cat food from the bowl I went and got the camera and snapped the pic THEN stopped him.

January 6, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterdawn224

we're all good moms, when we grab the camera before stopping the danger. danger is too damn photogenic, it seems. i still need to know where you found a dora potty. for puking, peeing, pooping or like my kid, putting crackers in.

How funny you got yelled at for taking the pic instead of helping your daughter! My 4 year old got stuck in between a metal hello kitty tray once (her head and torso- don't ask), and before we started to get her out, I ran for my camera to snap some shots first...
I'm sick like that, too!

Love the use of the Dora potty! I wish Sister would figure that one out...

I love that she puked in the potty! Clever girl.

I snap photos first and then fix the child next. I have photos of Amy sitting in the windowsill smiling at me.

January 6, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMishi

OMG!
That last photo's contraption looks lethal!

Oh my, this post had me giggling from start to end. Talk about a potty being put to a REAL USE!

And I love your blog and its' URL - VERY clever.

January 6, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMamaGeek

O.M.G. I heart you, blonde sister! I TOO was completely incapable of figuring out how to put the Weekly Winners button in my post... so I just gave up. I'm thinking maybe by next week I'll be smarter???

LOVE your blog!

January 6, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMarlee

LOL at your son shouting at you for taking a photo.

January 7, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterBiddy

i love us bloggers. Pics first.

January 7, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterPunk Rock Mom

Hold up... Yours puke in the potty? You mean they don't puke in your hair or on your lap or down your shirt?

Dude, mine must be broken.

January 7, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJudith Shakespeare

Hey, I am totally jealous that your kid canmake such cool art, without prompting.

And I mean the grape-skewer art, not the art in the toilet.

Also, the picture no one cared about? I do that all the time.

January 7, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterthe Girls' Moma

NICE! on the toilet barfing. And don't feel bad...we've all http://vdogandlittleman.blogspot.com/2007/09/this-is-bananas-literally.html" REL="nofollow">taken the picture first before helping!

I'd qualify these as winners...heheh.

January 7, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterVDog

That looks like the Death Star grape.(Or a sea urchin???)
