OK, so anyone who has ever been pregnant knows this feeling. You are almost 36 weeks, you're huge, you're tired, you're cranky, and most of all emotional. So now that I have set the scene. I am definitely the "handy" one at home...scary eh'? I have hung and decorated everything in our house completely alone. Collin could care less about that kind of stuff. So, I finally find the right place to hang our little mirrors that each have a letter to spell out E A R L. In the kitchen above the cabinets. So, I dig them out and prepare. I wash the walls, get the tools needed, etc. I get my fat butt up on a chair and measure and hang... when I am finished I feel completely satisfied with myself. Not for long. Before I could get Marlee out of her chair from dinner I turn around just in time to see the "L" falling from the sky...or wall. It crashes onto the tile floor and SHATTERS. I was devastated. I had worked SO hard. I just started to cry...so frustrated. Marlee came over and patted me on the shoulder and said "You OK mommy?". Anyway, after a few minutes of self pity, I swept it up...and now sure enough our kitchen says E A R. Nice eh'? I am planning on ordering a new "L" to see if I can match it, but the EAR is staying until then...... what an ordeal.

All I Want for Christmas is an 'L'...

The story is good , but the visual is even better. Maybe Santa will bring you an L for Christmas if you're a good girl. ;)
I'm laughing so hard I'm almost crying. I think my emotions have caught up to me too. I'm crying for you! How pathetic! :) I can't believe I didn't notice it said EAR when I was over there the other day!
I kept looking at that wondering why? why Ear? I don't understand... Ohhhhhhh E-a-r as in EARL that is hilarious! good luck finding the L!-nena
