Sunshine!

01 Mar

Because I’ve had 3 good days in a row, pain-wise, because the sun today is lovely and I will miss it tomorrow, and because I don’t want Kelly to unfriend me…I am finally posting about the award she gave me over a week ago!

How perfect is that?  I am definitely ready for some more permanent sunshine and warmer temps!  This will do for now, though.  I’m honored that Kelly chose me and touched by what she said about me…I do not feel like I’m doing a good job with this mom business most days.  Today is NOT one of those days, though.  It’s been one of those days where I am confident and secure in my supermom-ness.  Don’t worry, that will surely change tomorrow when the clouds roll in and we have to worry about being stuck inside all day!

So, here are the rules:

1. Put the logo in your post or within your blog.
2. Pass the award on to 12 fellow bloggers.
3. Link the nominees within your post.
4. Let the nominees know they have received this award by leaving a comment on their blogs.
5. Share the love and link to the person who gave you the award.

These folks bring sunshine to my life. Go check them out — you won’t be disappointed!  (It goes without saying that Kelly is included here, right?)

1. Emily over at All I hear is blah, blah, blah.  She’s someone I “met” locally through blogging.  We now go to the same church and I respect her for SO many reasons.

2. Sarah at Growing A Little Ivy.  God brought us together, I am sure of it.  She is an amazing friend and an awesome mom and I can’t say more because I will start crying.  Seriously, her reflections on mothering and faith move me to tears regularly.

3. Kim at Kim’s Thoughts.  LOVE her movie reviews.  We have very similar taste in movies, so it’s nice to get her perspective.  I don’t get to see movies in the theater much, but I definitely make decisions on rentals based on what she has to say!

4. Jamie at Mama to the Drama.  Funny, funny, funny.  My younger son is about the same age as her son so I can always relate to anything she has to say about the age!

5. Susannah at Painting Chef.  I relate to so much she says.  But she says it much funnier than I would.  I mostly just cussed and whined.  She has a sense of humor about it all that is inspiring to me.

6. Liz at The Suburban Bohemian.  The way we met is what I love about blogging…she sent me an email asking about Sanford because they were moving here.  I hesitated, but decided to answer it because I wish I’d had someone to help me figure out details about the area before we move her.  I’m glad I did, because she is super cool and brings a different dimension to the friendships I have.

7. Melissa at Binkies and Bandaids.  A hard working mom, she is the only person on this list that I haven’t actually met.  But I love reading about her and her kids!  She totally gets the chaos that 3 kids bring like few other people I know.

Sorry, 7 is all you get.  First of all, I’ve exhausted my list of frequently read blogs and second of all I’m starting to hurt.  Plus I need to get in the shower for a meeting tonight at church.  If you have a blog I might enjoy reading, let me know in the comments.  I can always use more reading material for the times I actually get possession of the laptop!

 

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

10 Dec

I have absolutely no decorations up at my house yet, but my blog is totally ready for Christmas.  It’s something, right?

Motivation Monday — Kitchen (and blogging!)

05 Oct

Obviously things are still weird at my house.  I am so far behind on house work.  I’m still trying to get that caught up, plus after 3-4 weeks of no computer access I just don’t want to sit at the computer.  My “addiction” is broken for the most part and I’m enjoying less time in this chair and more time with my family.  I’m using the ancient laptop (which only affords me access to a few sites, and this isn’t one of them) when I do want to use the computer and for the most part my desktop has been neglected.  So that’s where I’ve been!

Anyway, this week’s MM is to work on your kitchen.  My in-laws bought us a 48″ wide pantry cabinet to put in our kitchen and store my couponing food stash.  It’s huge and holds SO much food.  So all of my kitchen cabinets need to be rearranged now that I have this big cabinet to use for storage.  My goal is to go through each cabinet, move things as necessary, pull stuff out to sell or give away, and get everything put in a convenient place.  When I was a kid, my mom used to do this every 12-18 months.  I’ve lived in this house for 2.5 years and have never done it, so it’s about time for me to do some reorganizing.

I’m also challenging myself to sit down here every day and write a little something.  We’ll see if I can make myself do it.  A month or so ago, I was bordering on internet addiction.  Now it’s something I have to force myself to do, and that’s a good thing.

 

Where am I?

10 Sep

Laid up with a very, very bad back problem and nothing but ibuprofen since I can’t afford to go to the doctor.  I would give just about anything for some muscle relaxers right now!  It’s been a week since I’ve been down and if it doesn’t start getting better faster I am going to lose it.

We’ll return to regularly scheduled programming when I’m able to sit up again.  Hopefully sooner rather than later!

 

Wishful Wednesday — Who’s out there???

26 Aug

Today, my wish is to know who’s out there reading this blog.  Just leave a comment and tell me.  If you’re someone I know in “real life” (that I didn’t already know was reading) I promise I won’t be bothered…I know better than to put this out there and think someone isn’t going to find it and read it.  So who are you?

To leave a comment, look down at the bottom of this post.  There will be a link that says X Comments (X being the # already left) that you can click on.  Just follow the directions and let me know you’re out there.  And if you have a blog, link me up.  I could use some new ones to read!
