So, my six and a half year old daughter has decided after watching "Toddlers & Tiaras" that she wants to enter a beauty pageant. Her reasoning is simple and sound: "Mommy, I'm prettier than most of those girls; I could totally win!" <insert cheesy grin with batting eyelashes included> Of course, I've never been a mom to stifle dreams, so I tell her if that's really what she wants to do, mommy will talk to daddy about the possibility of her entering one pageant. She has it all planned out...her great Aunt (who has always done my hair as long as I can remember) can do her hair, her Aunt Melissa can take her to get her nails done (Aunt Mel always has the coolest nails), Mamaw L and Aunt Amanda can help her pick out her outfits (she loves shopping with the both of them), and then mommy can cheer for her, because "that's what mommy's do best."
There is just one tiny problem....I don't see me being one of them psycho pageant mommies. I mean, if it's something she really wants to do, then by all means kiddo, have at it, and we'll do what we can! But please, please, PLEASE don't ask me to be crazy. I do enough of that on my own!! But I do know there are lots of pageants that offer scholarships to these little girls, and scholarships are a hell of a lot better than student loans (speaking from experience here). Plus, anyone who knows my daughter, knows she totally has the attitude for a pageant; she's brutal, beautiful, conniving, and has one hell of a right hook. I can see the headlines now "Local beauty pageant turns violent after a 6 year old decks the winner...more on the 11 o'clock news..." She's even been practicing her "pageant walk" and her "pageant face," both of which I promise to get on camera and post because it's too funny.
In other news: I have an interview with a temp agency, who doesn't know I'm pregnant yet, on Tuesday. With any luck, they will be able to find me a temporary (6-8 week) position paying some decent money. Also, I'm putting out a call to all my friends that might possibly be mentioned in my blog to give me a "code name" you'd like me to use. Shaggy and HOG have already been taken. Please also keep in mind that typically before I post anything about anyone else, I will okay it with you. Unless I'm bitching about you, and then all bets are off.
