Funny side note: As I was looking for the images, I was doing some googling.. things like whores, prostitutes, family building angelss. Googel search results produce me in the CrackWhore BirthMother T shirt as a “family building angels”..However, when I google “CrackWhore BirthMother”.. not only do I pretty much own the space, but I see a heck of a lot of real good friends there too.

I’m amused.

    I wish there was a way to make this bigger as I can’t really see it too well(Just another lovely reminder that I’m getting old..er) I don’t get the Government one or the “What I think of my Motherhood” one..maybe I’ve just had too much wine tonight as well…that must be it..

    If you click it.. it gets bigger!

    My interpretations: the Government wants us to stay in a box, box us in, keep us under wraps, or protect us in bubble wrap//handle with care?
