If you hop on over to Kae’s blog, you’ll see that she’s joined in the May blogging challenge AND given it an official name- MayBloPoMo. Anyone else want to join? It’s not too late!
Tonight was the annual high school band banquet. It’s a formal event with food, music, dancing, and awards. My daughter looked so pretty! She wore a blue, short, form fitting dress with silver jewelry and silver high heeled sandals. She painted her nails blue to match the dress.
Why, you might ask, am I describing it in such detail? Well- my daughter was upset because she and her boyfriend were going to be late to the banquet, and she yelled at me- quite meanly, I might add- that they were NOT posing for photos. Sigh… it’s been a rough week around here.
Don’t worry! I took it upon myself to make an artist’s rendition of her outfit!
I know, this is elaborate. I even used mixed media to make the silver elements. I really should draw more, as I clearly have an aptitude for it.
In case you’re wondering, my daughter did text me later to apologize. But I was fine either way, because I have these rascals to cheer me up:
And then there’s my loyal Muffin.
Cats never yell at you! Well, sometimes Muffin hisses, but she doesn’t mean anything by it.
If you have a teenage daughter, how is that going?
If you WERE a teenage daughter, how did you get along with your parents?

You are too funny. I love the pic of your daughter, complete with scowl. I hope that got a real life smile out of her.
Single cat lady here, wishing you all the best.
That is fantastic. I think my mother would have felt MUCH better about me being a horrible wee sh*te if she’d employed this tactic.
Oh, gracious, teen daughters can be so trying. The picture truly captures the attitude!
My current teen girl is just mildly cranky at times, but she does have her moods.( I refuses to give her extra dessert and she stomped out, sort of slamming a cupboard door as she passed it. For her though, with speech difficulties, this is how she communicates. (Behavior is communication, and this got her opinion across perfectly. ) ) Usually my other girls weathered their teens with minimal external drama. Or maybe time is glossing over past difficulties?
These moods shall pass- an apology already is a positive sign.
Hang in there and pat the cats!!
