supervising from the couch: This one's for you, Rachel

This one's for you, Rachel

I figure if I'm going to post photos of my friends that they don't like, I must be willing to do the same with the photos of myself that I hate. Every time I take my point-and-shoot instead of my DSLR I am disappointed with the photos. But not even my Nikon will take away the double chin. What makes it worse is sitting next to my friend Mandy, who couldn't look bad if she tried.

In spite of the photo, it was a fun girl's night out. We had dinner at Zupa's, and went to a women's conference to hear Sheri Dew speak.

here's the story:

I was interviewed for a newpaper article about kids and sleep, and quoted as saying something like "when I'm tired, I feel like supervising from the couch." Ever since, it's been our catch phrase for slacker parenting. Ironically, I only had one child at the time and we were practically attached at the hip. Now that I have four older kids, they spend chunks of time playing without even the benefit of me watching from the couch. However, I do try to come running if it sounds like there might be blood. Somehow they have all thrived in spite of me.
