Loren Receives Parenting Award On a Random Thursday
Miraculously, we make it to the bus stop on time. After waving goodbye to big brother and hugging and kissing in a "family sandwich" until the bus driver is impatiently frowning, we walk back to the house and get into the car. I'm off to my job as an Ambassador to Chile. (Just kidding, that was for my Facebook friends from high school/college.) I mean I'm off to Target to buy a mop and garbage bags. (But I am still a very cool and interesting adult. Really!)
I buckle baby Bigfoot and hop in the car. I'm pulling out of the driveway when the princess starts screaming: "You forgot to buckle my seat belt!"
"Oops, I did it again." I say, no allusion intended. I keep forgetting to buckle the kids into their car seats lately. Luckily, they are safety cops, yelling at me before I encounter real police. I snap the princess into her seat and she smiles. "Thanks, mom. I claim you the BEST MOMMY IN THE TOWN." See, Britney Spears, it's that easy.
Dear Internet Traveler,
Welcome to my writer's blog, started about six years ago for fun. Over time, the writing I have posted has ranged from personal reflection, to Long Island history research, to tall tales for my own amusement, to feature articles for local newspapers. As you can see from topics listed here, I travel in many mental directions in regard to interests. Click on the tabs and labels to explore my strange mind which senses that you may be having a criss-cross day. If so, perhaps this blog will distract you. However, please note that if you tell me my blog is beautiful just to get me to advertise rhinoplasty surgery and cheap drugs from Canada in your comment, I will ask the gods to give you a tail that cannot be concealed.
Fondly,
Loren Christie
