The instant you become a mother people stop taking your picture.

The instant you become a mother people stop taking your picture. Unless you’re Angelina Jolie. As mother of two girls, my job has become that of family documentarian. I suspect it’s the same in other homes.From “birth” day on, mother will snap photos of kids in Halloween costumes, dance tutus, commencement gowns and baseball uniforms. I have ten years of family vacation albums without a single snap of my smiling self.Have you ever noticed the obituaries in the newspaper? You’re liable to see a black and white photo of a young beautiful woman-only to discover upon reading the copy that she lived to a ripe wrinkly 100. Why the outdated photo? It was probably the last existing pic of herself before she became mother/house photographer.

“What my dog rolled in”This is my dog Maisey in the new feature “what my dog rolled in”. When Maisey is not counter-surfing or ripping through the garbage she is chewing my seatbelts ($1500 worth!!!) or breaking out of the house and running to the local school. All the kids and the teachers know her by name. On this day she rolled in a foreign substance that smelled disgustingly unidentifiable.Please send your photos and bad dog stories to Shell@qmfm.com
