I may have mentioned before, my love of the collective noun
An array of hedgehog !
See that little fellow in the bottom right, with a kind a bent nose and completely askew pink hat?
That’s me folks, a little bent out of shape and perfecting the dragged-through-a-hedge-backwards look.
I am the mother of a 21 year old…
Mt fave is a murder of crows. Aren't 21yos self sufficient?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a prayer circle, if you're the religious sort! Perfect metaphor, or is it similie? It is amazing how we know know nothing and babes of 21 know everything. This too shall pass. Lock yourself in your room and play with your toys. :o) Maybe the 21 year old will move out! :o)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's funny how life just keeps rocketing on despite our thoughts of changing/ getting it all together..... Hey! My kid is 28 and I'm still dreaming of getting it all together! *sigh* I'm in good company!
ReplyDeleteyou are a total nut and make me laugh ... a lot! thank you so very much :)
ReplyDeleteI still love "a crash of rhinoceros", but I love your hedgehogs, definitely worth more than any therapy session. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to the unsuitably ungrateful offspring.
ReplyDeletewot, no tags?
Wonky pink hats are in. Bound to be. you bein such a trendsetter and all.
Shouldn't that be a prickle of hedgehogs, Jodie? Just saying. LOVE those little creatures.
ReplyDeleteBeing the mother of a 21yo means you've accomplished what you set out to do. Congratulations, you've created an adult.
ReplyDeleteNever mind, Jodie! I've got a 30 year old and I'm still trying to work out how we went from nappies to that!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is parliament of owls.
:)
I love a "prickle of hedgehogs". Great. Please tell me it gets easier...I have a 3 and a 4 year old and am considering emigrating. On my own!
ReplyDeleteYou have a 21yo??! No way!
ReplyDeleteI do love those hedgehogs and I thought it might be an impossibility of hedgehogs, that would be a very cool collective noun
I love those hedgehogs!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable array! Congratulations on the 21 year old. Just wait until the youngest gets that far, then you'll be an expert.
ReplyDeleteQuick it's not too late to book a cut n colour....you just need to find a bossy hairdresser, one that rebooks your appointment before you have paid for the current AND insists you have a funky do..... Makes me feel justified buying new jeans in a trendy shop BEFORE I loose those extra 5 kilos!
ReplyDeleteIt's all uphill from here on. Your son should appreciate that those there hedgehogs will be part of his inheritance one day.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Maybe not the correct term but I have a pack of monkeys.
ReplyDeleteCannot believe Miss Ricrac is 21..
Are 21st birthday congratulations in order?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I'm the mother of a 26yo and grandmother of a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old. Whoever said that grand parenting was like riding a bicycle didn't have grandchildren of the opposite sex to the child they raised!
Oh Jodie you spring chicken you...
ReplyDeleteI am the mum of a 23 years old...Now that's scary...
Don't worry...I am sure I am the one in the red hat right next to you...
Eeek! Only 2 years to go for me before my tiny baby is 21. My only consolation is I must feel a hell of a lot better than my parents do.
ReplyDeleteyou know that wonky nose one, he/she is my favourite, aside from mine of course xo
ReplyDeleteI want to curl up inside that circle and smile at their faces all around me!
ReplyDeletelol, I shouldn't laugh at your pain but I do get it. ;p Have a cocktail...it won't change anything but at least you will have done something other then strangle the kid.
ReplyDeleteHang in there and remember: you have plenty of pics of his arse crack! you can treaten to make a bookface page devoted to HIS arse crack and he'll never get a decent date again! ;p
Poppy was discussing with me the other day about hedgie-pogs. I thought if you immediately (in a non-creepy way of course). I so love these, LOVE these.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, happy birthday to your big girl, that is like an adult!! Scary!! Then again, i look back at my 21st, i was already with my husband (married a year later) & now we have a teenager.
ReplyDeleteI love your unique hedgehogs, they are incredible. Bent nose, askew hat, most adorable one yet!! Love Posie
very cute hedgies!
