WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING
for those of you who read jenn’s post on friday, you are aware of the dire situation that another friend of ours is in. at her request, i am anonymously publishing what you find below.
**********
I catch glimpses of him, sometimes. The man I married. The man I love.
It’s in those moments that I doubt myself. Maybe he really is who I thought he was. Maybe he can be that person again. Maybe there is hope.
But the truth, the ugly and undeniable truth, is that he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I am the lamb he has been preparing for slaughter.
Separating me from the flock.
Feeding me love and affection laced with strychnine.
Blurring my vision so that I won’t see the beady little wolf eyes watching me as I graze peacefully in the lonely pasture.
But that wolf, with his sharp teeth and matted fur, has gotten careless in his disguise.
I see him. I see what he is.
And what he doesn’t know – what I myself have only just discovered – is that I am no lamb.
I am a Lion.

Domestic Abuse takes many shapes and forms. It doesn’t have to be physical violence. Isolation, manipulation, control, and psychological intimidation are all forms of abuse.

UFF DA!!!
i love saying that. and after yesterday’s sweetness of all that is awesome arrived, i was yelling it from the rooftops of my building (sorry neighbors.)
UFF DA!!!
emily bilbrey, blogger for last train to pooksville, mama to the ever-so-glorious poppy, smoking hot lover-face to her sweetheart husband quickly became a friend of mine after she FINALLY decided to comment on my blog months ago. we have since shared stories, emails, pictures and tattoo designs with each other.
I LOVE HER. LOVE.
sadly (for me) she lives on the west coast, in the lovely state of washington and taunts me with ideas of moving out there so that poppy and magoo can fulfill each others lives together as the cutest little him and her that ever walked the face of this green earth.
emily’s talent goes beyond just creating lovely little humans and has transcended the world of etsy with her own shop, uff da designs.
(i don’t typically do reviews on my blog, but i couldn’t not share this with you all. i’d feel like a hoarder. and, i would rather share.)
behold… the custom-made magoo hat of love and kickassness…
click on the pic to enlarge. no, seriously. DO IT. scope it all out.
here… get in a few different views of this handmade upcycled sweater hat…
sorry. the magoo was being selfish and shy. let’s try again…
that’s better! what? you want one more?
say it with me… “UFF DA!!!”
suffice to say, the magoo and i could not be happier with the incredible work of emily bilbrey, nor could we be happier about her adventures with uff da in the etsy world.
emily’s heart and beautiful soul can be found in every item she creates, from her precious teeny perfect poppy clips (which i wear and love!) to her dresses for wee bebes. it should come as no surprise to you that emily has received 100% positive feedback from her uff da buyers. what’s there not to love?
you simply MUST check out uff da!
and i must have a daughter at some point in time so that i can dress her in uff da and stop asking emily to make her dresses in my size.
