Not What It Seems

alternately titled:  Not My Proudest Moment

Do you see...?

Gorgeous girls posing on a beautiful fall afternoon.

Frolicking in the fall leaves.

Looking sweet, without a care in the world

What you don't see

... A mom getting irritated.

... A teenager yelling at her little cousin to stop singing.

... A mom nagging her to give a "real" smile for the camera.

... A little girl refusing to look into the camera.

... A mom stomping away and screaming at them all the way home.

... A little cousin crying.

... A mom out of control... feeling like a failure.

Not my proudest moment.  But there is always tomorrow...
