My Idiot Mom's Out of Town

My Idiot Mom was out of town last week for 4 days.  She takes a lot of time preparing us for her leave of absence including cleaning, washing, grocery shopping and prepping school lunches.  My Idiot Mom also makes an easy list for My Idiot Dad to follow (at Dad's request) to ensure everything with a pulse in the house stays alive while she's gone!  Despite My Idiot Mom's BEST efforts, she knows that she will return to the CESSPOOL OF DUST.  Even though she returned 3 days ago, she is still finding cesspool evidence, like the indescribable remnant's from one of the meals out with Dad on the front of my hoodie, which Dad hung up in the front hall closet.  No worries though.  My Idiot Mom has touched way worse disgusting stuff off me and in the blink of an eye had the semi-chewed hardened mass between her fingers and into the trash bin, and the hoodie in the wash!  I love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Mom Takes a Picture

Despite my BEST efforts to not be the focus for My Idiot Mom's shots, tweets, blogs, posts or grams, she takes my picture anyway!  I still love My Idiot Mom (even though she doesn't have the best photographic eye or respect for personal space!)

My Idiot Mom Goes Skiing!

I'm actually praising My Idiot Mom today!  How about that?  We had our first weekly ski trip through my school on Tuesday.  My Idiot Mom had prepared weeks before and made sure I had everything I needed, the best of which were the insanely, off the charts, bright green ski pants she'd bought me!  No matter how fast and far I skied like a bullet straight down the green trail runs where My Idiot Mom only feels comfortable herself skiing, she could always spot me!  I love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Mom in Flames!

My Idiot Mom and I watched the fire department burn down this old house in the town we live.  We have a fire pit on our patio I get to help burn stuff in too.  My Idiot Mom plays Adele's 21 in our car and "Set Fire to the Rain" is my favorite song!  I love My Idiot Mom for introducing me to fire!

Worms on our Table?

A bit of a start this morning for My Idiot Mom when she noticed dead worms on our kitchen table.  She hadn't had her coffee yet or she would have seen sooner that it was last night's that spaghetti dried on the table overnight because she forgot to wipe off the table after dinner.  Phew.  (Secretly, I hope it's worms next time.)  I love My Idiot Mom.

Mom! Look What I've Found!

Turns out, this was an indigo bunting bird that I found and rode my bike one-handed to be able to carry it home!  My Idiot Mom was really surprised, but glad I didn't have a huge spider or something dead in my hands instead!  We put him inside an aquarium to rest and about a half hour later he woke up and flew away, thanks to Mom's care and mine!  I love My Idiot Mom!

My Idiot Zombie Mom

My Idiot Mom has a fondness for Zombies.  She really does look like the one in the middle there on the back of her car.  The other car is one we were behind in Oklahoma where Grammie and Papa live (I guess they really have an outbreak of Zombies out there - maybe My Idiot Mom is thinking about moving there and becoming a Zombie Hunter herself.  That explains why she acts like a brain dead one from time to time with me.)  I love My Idiot Mom!
