Behave Yourself

My mom might be reading.

I gave her my blog address a few months ago. Mom has been wary and suspicious of my odd little blog habit. I think she feared that I'd be using my blog to do the following:

display pictures of myself making stupid faces

tell the entire internet capable world ALL OF MY SECRETS

tell the world ALL OF MY FAMILY'S DARK EVIL UNTOLD SECRETS WHICH COULD RIP APART THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR LIVES

stupidly announce where I live, what rock I hide the key under, and how often I leave stacks of twenty dollar bills on my dining room table



Well World, I hate to tell you this, but there are no stacks of twenties in my house, and we're all too boring to have any salacious secrets. You all know that if you're looking for that stuff, it ain't here. As for the pictures of me and my stupid faces, ha! You had your chance! Now you'll have to wait to see it on the back of a book!

My Mom informed me on my way out of her house that she has been reading occasionally, when she figures it's okay to tie up the phone line for a few minutes. I was amazed at the mixed feelings that came up in me. On one hand, I want her to read- that's why I gave her the address. On the other hand, I thought about all the times I either embarrassed her or caused her to have heart palpitations because of my stupidity and recklessness, and mentally ran through all the crap I've posted here, hoping there's nothing there that will make her blood pressure skyrocket.

Well. Too late now.

This reminds me of the church service yesterday, which was completely directed by the junior youth group, including my daughter. At one point they had a slide show, called, "Our Parents Don't Embarrass Us! (Too Much...)" and of course, there's a picture of my Girl, and her wacky mother. We've got our arms around each other. She's got pink and purple braces. I've got pink and purple hair.

I just can't stop myself. I hope the people most important to me in this world can accept me with all of my normality snubbing harmless rebellion.

WELCOME TO BLOG WORLD, MOM!!!!!!!!

I love you and hope that I don't embarrass you. Too much....
