HAPPY NEW YEAR! (Where is Everybody?)

Happy 2017!  I'm extra happy today because I just found out I get one more day of Winter Vacation from school!  Even though my Dad tried telling my Mom he didn't think I had school today, it being a Government Holiday with New Year's Day yesterday and all, Mom was back in the routine making sure I had everything I needed and out the door to get me to class on time this morning!  Imagine her surprise when we arrived and the parking lot was completely empty!  She may be schedule challenged, but I'll always love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Mom Gets A Postcard From Camp

My Idiot Mom sent me to my first summer overnight camp for one whole week.  She started mailing me letters the week before I went so I would get mail each day, and sent me to camp with two self addressed stamped postcards for me to mail to her.  Here's what I wrote on postcard #1.  I did not love camp but I love My Idiot Mom.

DEAR MOM,

THANK YOU FOR THE LETTERS BUT THEY ALL ARRIVED ON THE SAME DAY.  IM REALLY HOMESICK AND I AM MISERABLE. I HAVE A BAD HEADACHE. IT GOT WORSE.  I REALLY MISS YOU. PLEASE GET ME.  XOXO 

My Idiot Mom Helps the Tooth Fairy

My Idiot Mom came to all my baseball games this season.  She loves baseball and she loves me, and she gave our team bubble gum on our last game!  Unfortunately, My Idiot Mom forgot about my very loose molar when she gave me my gum, and as soon as I began chewing my tooth came right out, and I gave it to her for safe keeping! She helped me and the Tooth Fairy that day! I love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Mom Buys Me a T Shirt

My Idiot Mom went on a trip recently.  When she came back she had a present for me! It was a new t-shirt with some cartoon stick figures on the front having a cookout! Unfortunately, when I wore it to school my teacher made me turn it inside out. That's okay. I can always wear it around My Idiot Mom. I love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Mom's Healthy Lunch

I'm so glad I have a Mom who was a 70's kid 'cuz she lets me have healthy choice foods for meals like she did growing up. Here I am at my favorite food place of all time getting a bucket of French fries for lunch. And you know what? We are such regulars the food truck owner gave me an extra bucket for Mom. I love her and My Idiot Mom! 

Gambling with My Idiot Mom

Thank goodness for our recent overseas flight home from IRELAND or I never would have learned Roulette, 5 card draw or 21! I love My Idiot Mom for taking me and letting me learn how to gamble!

My Idiot Mom Doesn't Read Signs

This was a great cliff from which to look out onto the Irish Sea! My Idiot Mom must have thought this sign was in Gaelic like so many we've seen in Ireland or else she never would have let me sit out here! I love My Idiot Mom!
