Prev Thinking
the smell of my desperation has become a stench
Heather B. Armstrong
Hi. I’m Heather B. Armstrong, and this used to be called mommy blogging. But then they started calling it Influencer Marketing: hashtag ad, hashtag sponsored, hashtag you know you want me to slap your product on my kid and exploit her for millions and millions of dollars. That’s how this shit works. Now? Well… sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

chickenflicken
2004/12/20 at 5:32 amThat is too much cheekage for one picture, and now I understand why people get excited to be so close to the top. I’ve never been this close!!
Boo-Yah!
Jenie
2004/12/20 at 5:32 amAwwwww….how sweet!
Melissa
2004/12/20 at 5:33 amWhat a sweet picture. George!!
Chessy
2004/12/20 at 5:33 amSuch incredible cuteness! And George is rather handsome. Thanks for the shot.
marie

Liz
2004/12/20 at 5:33 amHow incredibly cute. Love it.
Melissa R.
2004/12/20 at 5:33 amHow adorable. Both of them. Two peas…
Tom
2004/12/20 at 5:33 amOh….my God. That look in Leta’s eyes! Cuteness!
kEma
2004/12/20 at 5:33 amDamn I splashed, totally molton in my chair…..
Lets eat them BOTH!
becaru
2004/12/20 at 5:34 amalways wondered how GEORGE! was related…
Bucky Four-Eyes
2004/12/20 at 5:34 amAw, couldn’t you have included Chuck’s bony traitor ass in the shot as well?
Em
2004/12/20 at 5:34 amOH THE CUTENESS! Leta has a little “flirt” in her eyes.
christy
2004/12/20 at 5:35 amIt’s like the chemical formula for a perfect photo. I hope you use this power for good and not evil.
Fish
2004/12/20 at 5:35 amWish it was sunny like that here.
The real question is, which one is responsible for the stinky present in the bathroom, this time?
P.S. GEORGE, what does your shirt say?
Virginia
2004/12/20 at 5:37 amLeta’s so lucky to have cousine George!
Kieran
2004/12/20 at 5:37 amHEY its Black beard the Ass pirates first mate! Skippy!
Fish
2004/12/20 at 5:37 amOH, and by the way, this pic settles the whole “Leta looks like Jon” vs. “Leta looks like Heather” thing.
Obviously, the GEORGE gene has kicked the asses of both parents’ genes (aside from the facial hair, that is).
Sheryl
2004/12/20 at 5:38 amCute cousins!
Fish, I love this game! It’s like Wheel of Fortune. I’d like an H.
Oh hell, I’d like to solve the puzzle. “The Outhouse”.
Fish
2004/12/20 at 5:38 am“Black beard the Ass pirate”
Maybe that’s what George’s shirt says.
Sue From Ohio
2004/12/20 at 5:40 amhmmm, I’m not doing too bad in the posting # dept….
THAT IS THE CUTEST FRICKIN PICTURE!!!! George needs a woman so he can have kids! He looks like he would be such a cool and loving Dad!!! GO GEORGE!!!!
And Leta, keep giving cousin George those innocent eyes so he’ll buy you something HUGE and LOUD for Christmas!!!
jenn
2004/12/20 at 5:40 amIs that a fake plant?
Fish
2004/12/20 at 5:41 amYou can tell it’s Monday. No one’s working this morning. I’m sorry that I missed the Groundskeeper Willy quote session yesterday. Here’s my favorite:
Willy: (Rips of shirt) Lunchlady Doris, Grease me up, Woman!
Lunchlady Doris: Okey Dokey.
Stephanie
2004/12/20 at 5:42 amGeorge again! She loves George! Too cute!
matt
2004/12/20 at 5:43 amleta is clearly going to be a bad bad girl when she grows up. watch out utah.
Stephen McKenna
2004/12/20 at 5:43 amIs that the cap for the Draino that Leta is sucking on, or is it from the Tide bottle?
Fish
2004/12/20 at 5:48 amWD40, I think.
Sheryl
2004/12/20 at 5:48 amFish,
Are you saying George is Blackbeard the umm Pirate himself?
After doing a prelim search, The Outhouse is either a dive bar in Kansas
http://www.digitalcity.com/kansascity/bars/venue.adp?sbid=111941622
Or it is a website for genealogy and family humor

2004/12/20 at 5:52 amI love the photo. They are both too sweet!

2004/12/20 at 5:52 amWhat is hanging on the fireplace? It’s not a stocking, looks more like a business card holder. Does Santa “leave his card” for Mormon’s?
anners
2004/12/20 at 5:52 amoh.my.
the cheeks!
Kieran
2004/12/20 at 5:54 amDONT EAT THE BABY! FOR THE LOVE THAT IS ALL MORMON DONT EAT THE BABY GEORGE!
BAD GEORGE! BAD!
Red
2004/12/20 at 5:54 amTwo Sweet Cheeks.
Molly
2004/12/20 at 5:55 amGreat Shot!!
They both look like they are up for causing some trouble…
sweetney
2004/12/20 at 5:55 amthe decision to be made here is: whose cheeks does one pinch first?
Kano
2004/12/20 at 5:58 amUmmmm… does George reside at your humble abode? Or does he stop by frequently for Latte and Pepperidge Farms Pirouette Cookies?
Sarah
2004/12/20 at 5:58 amOh God…GEORGE! Leta, AND she’s in PINK….
are you trying to give me a heart attack?!?
Lovely, lovely photo. Makes me warm on this ‘wind-chill below 0-degree day’. Brrrr.
AgMommy
2004/12/20 at 5:58 amPink!!!!!!
Sherri
2004/12/20 at 5:59 amThose two just *look* like they’re up to no good. I bet they just did something that they’re going to blame on Chuck.
I can’t get over how huge Leta’s hands are, good for grabbing keys and toilet paper.
I like the fireplace
KellyH
2004/12/20 at 6:00 amGeorge, dude, you seriously need to come to my house and sit on the floor with my 2 year old. You look like you’d withstand a 30 minute game of “Let’s Pretend You’re A Mountain and I’m the Explorer” much better than I can.
Sarah
2004/12/20 at 6:00 amClick on me to see The Outhouse we use at work.
veg4me
2004/12/20 at 6:02 amI guess I am the only one who saw horns on Leta’s head at first glance. Second look revealed it to be George’s skin..
psyche
2004/12/20 at 6:02 amThat’s really adorable…Looks like someone’s blushing hehe 😀
Great photo!
Scott
2004/12/20 at 6:04 am“Oh my God! A Yeti has taken that adorable child. Quick, get my tranquilizer gun. We have to take it down before it eats the baby like a muffin top.”
It’s like Harry and the Hendersons.
dänika
2004/12/20 at 6:04 amI want GEORGE!s glasses.
and I love the way a few strands of Leta’s hair aren’t lying down, but are pointing northeast. And the look in her eyes — haha! She knows she’s frickin’ adorable.
