Proof of my dementia: the first photo of myself that I show you is the worst one EVER taken of me.

id.jpgYo mama's a stone cold killer.

I'm not really sure why I'm showing you this. A textbook example of what you look like after 2 hours in line at the DMV.

Well, I suspect that this is also what I look like after a loooong afternoon of "um, Mommy?" "whhyyyy?" "but I'm Huuungry!" "Mike hitted me!" "I WANT to!" "That's mine!!" and so on.

For the record, I am not usually orange, blotchy, and jowly. But that look in my eyes? That's me at 5:30PM every day.

    okay. if that's seriously the worst photo ever taken of you, then you've led a beautiful life.

    i will say, however, that the look in your eyes? yep, stone-cold.

    remind me not to come over until after you've had your coffee in the morning. :)

    5:30 pee-em ! I could only hope to look that alive at 5:30 ay-em !

  • Lila said:

    You certainly look as though you could kill someone with your bare hands. And Bon is right, it is all in the eyes.

  • MammaLoves said:

    Shoot if it scares the police from giving you a ticket, it might be worth it!

  • Mimi said:

    Didn't we share a cell at Sing Sing?

  • thordora said:

    yeah, you do kinda look a little…..mental. :)

    But hey, at least you don't have 5 chins like I do. :)

    …and I have the very same look at the very same time - o.k. EST rather than PST, but still…

    You need horns. Or maybe a pirate patch over one eye.

  • Ivy said:

    Funny, that's the same look in my eyes most of the time. They call that the thousand yard stare, yanno. ;)

  • Plain Jane Mom said:

    Aaaargh Matey!

  • Elizabeth said:

    I'm pretty sure I have that same look every day around 5:30 pm when I'm trying to cook dinner, keep the boys from fighting over video games, and keep Kaitlyn from eating handfuls of cat food.

    But if that was the result of TWO HOURS at the DMV, you can not be held responsible for how you look! That place will suck the life right outta ya.

    THAT is your drivers license pic? I wish I looked that good after going to the damn DMV!

  • Plain Jane Mom said:

    You wish you looked like a stone cold killer afflicted with flesh-eating bacteria? Wow…

  • crunchy carpets said:

    Ok..I was having a blah day and then I saw that.
    Thank you for sharing your pain.
    The haunted look is seared on my brain!

    Heh.

    I actually got a GREAT photo from ICBC (our dmv) this time around…I look HOT!

    Weird.

  • Melanie said:

    You know, I don't think that pic is all that bad, really. Yes, the eyes did strike fear into my very soul, but hey. It's cool.
    I haven't had a truly awful driver's license picture - yet. But this is what I do know. I will go along for the next fifteen or twenty years getting decent, if bland, pictures of myself for my license; but then, in a huge sweeping rush of Karma, I will take one that is lumpy, discolored, drooly, one eye closed, tongue and half a tooth sticking out below my upper lip. And an Alfalfa-lock sticking straight up out the back of my head. And then I will get pulled over and carded every single day for as long as I have it.
    That's my kind of luck, see.

    Is it wrong that I started laughing and my 2 year old started crying when I opened this page?

    It was a coincidence - I wouldn't share my hot pocket and she flipped out.
