This accurately captures how I'm feeling today, folks:
Except for the "Who Totally Forgot?" part. Here's a question for all of you parents out there: have you ever wished you could go back in time and advise your younger self to stay on birth control, run like the wind, and don't look back? That's my frame of mind at the moment. At least I still like my youngest. Of course, that's easy to say considering the fact that he's sleeping right now.
Oh, well. This too shall pass, right? Back to the card. I wish I was in a better mood as I write this, because I think this stamp set by CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is a hoot. I know you're *shocked* that I had to have it. ;) Of course, the large WTF caught my eye, and then it also has a bunch of accompanying sentiments like "Where's The Fun?", "Wow, That's Fantastic!", "Who's Turning Forty/Fifty?", etc. Funny stuff, and bravo to CAS-ual Friday Stamps; there's a market out there for irreverent stamps and I'm glad to see a company willing to fill that niche.
Since it's the last Monday of the month, the Mojo Monday challenge allows you to go a little wild and choose either a round or square version of the sketch.
For all the details on how to play in this week's Mojo Monday challenge, you'll want to visit the Mojo Monday blog. Be sure to visit my fellow Mojo Monday Designers to be inspired by their interpretation of this week's sketch:- Julee Tilman
