Wanna See
My Happy, Smiling face when I met Irritable Mother Karen Hossink? Click HERE, scroll down. I'm the skinny one with the goofy smile and long hair. LOL
I second everything she said. :-)

We All Got to Learn to Do It Sometime
*grossness alert* We all have to learn to deal with doo-doo eventually. Consider me a newbie mom, but it never occurred to me that my son should be wiping himself until about a month before kindergarten. And then the flashbulb went on and I scrambled to teach him. One problem. He didn't want to. He's fastidious and doesn't like to make mistakes, so the thought of taking care of this daily chore literally reduced him to screaming and crying on the toilet. Basically, he didn't trust himself. He was afraid. Scared to get his hands dirty. Afraid he'd miss something. This is probably weird, but it made me think of us as writers. There comes a point where we have to "grow up" and trust ourselves. We can't always rely on a crit group, agent, or editor to wipe up our mess. I think this should be a part of maturation for every writer, that we can look at our work and be confident in our ability to clean it up. Not saying we'll make it perfect or that we won...

Wow, you two sure have straight, white teeth. Did you wear braces, by any chance? I'm going through the last set with my youngest as we speak. My daughter wore them, too.
They inherited the crooked teeth gene from their daddy. Heehee
Have a great day!
I did wear braces (thank you mother!)
But... i thought you had 3 kiddos...

I do have three. :-) I think she forgot or was tired. It was fun, and thanks for saying I deserved the compliments. :-)
That's true. I get so used to profile pics that when I see real people I'm like, whoa. Almost don't recognize them sometimes.
It's def. a blessing. I hope I meet you and Kathryn sometime, just to hear your cajun accents! LOL
You both look great in the picture! Wouldn't it be fun if we could all meet? Ah, maybe someday at a writers conference.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Anyway, I just fixed it - now you are officially creditied with giving birth to the third one, too. *grin*
And I was blessed with straight teeth. No braces for me!
Crediting me with a third, huh? LOL! I figured you were pretty tired, plus you meet so many moms I wouldn't expect you to remember my brood. LOL
So you didn't have braces? You lucky lady! :-)
That is such a sweet, kind thing to say. Thank you. :-)
Karen was very nice and the balloon thing was awesome. You know, she said she was going to count to three and we should let go of our full balloons, but do you know that everyone let go on one? Including me. I didn't even mean to. I guess subconsciously I wanted to "let go".
It's been awhile since I've "seen" you. Thanks for stopping by. :-)
