Years ago, my husband and I used to leave each other love notes in our Hollow Tree. Now we're happily married, with five kids; this blog is where I share the usually ridiculous, often sarcastic, sometimes aggravating, and occasionally even touching tales of our ventures into parenthood. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

March Photo Challenge 20: Before/After

This has been the first day in recent memory when I've had blogger's block.  I mean, the kind of writing blockage that can't be unclogged by my usual means of looking at my old idea lists, or reading other blogs, or just sitting down and forcing myself to write.

Which is yet another reason to love the March Photo Challenge!  Except I couldn't think of an idea to fulfill the prompt, "Before/After," either.  Such was the depth of my writer's block, that it extended into brain function that barely even requires the use of words.

Which is yet another reason to love husbands!  Because mine came home and said lots of things, including:
  • I'm running out of monkeys.
  • I'm teaching her about pockets.
  • He fell down go boom.  (in robot voice)
  • ARE THESE SOCKS STILL IN THE THING?
But most helpfully, he suggested I do a collage showing Maddie's ultrasound alongside a photo of her now.  If that isn't Before and After-ish, I don't know what is.

And judging by how my brain is(n't) working today, maybe I don't  know what Before and After-ish is.  Which is why it was a better idea to space out and make a collage, rather than try to write a blog post.  A nice, easy, wordless collage.  Well, I used a few words, but they were the short, 4-letter kind I use when I'm cranky and trying to make a dumb collage that's supposed to be easy but the computer isn't cooperating.



You can see I eventually wrestled the computer into submission.  Now I'm going to go spend the rest of the evening drooling in the corner.  Hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow with a few words in my head.

  1. I'm so proud of you! Look at that - getting those pics side by side. I don't know that I would have those mad skills . . .

  2. You're too kind, Missy! I don't know what I'm going to do next month when Picnik.com goes away for editing my pics, but I have a feeling it's going to force me to cut WAY down on my visual aids!

  3. Thanks Bree - it figures I'd have to give my husband credit for the idea, eh? :)
