Ideas for NaBloPoMo, Since I Won?t Be Using Them.
2007-11-08 21:18:00 I keep running across people saying how they are having trouble coming up with topics for their daily NaBloPoMo posts. I swear there is something in signing up that puts your brain to sleep, making it impossible to come up with anything creative. I got to thinking about it, and here are some blog topics I’d personally love to see done this month. What is one blog post most of your current readers probably haven’t read, but is worth re-posting? “Because I am afraid to fail, I have never….” “I am most proud of….”, but NOT your children If someone saw you on the street today, what would they think of you? Tell me/show me what is in your purse. “The best deal I ever got while shopping was…” “You couldn’t pay me enough to…” How did you meet your best friend? how do you feel about living where you do? Have you gone green yet? “If I could get away with it, this toy of my kids’ wou... More About: Ideas
And This Will Help..What, Exactly?
2007-11-08 00:08:00 Ugggggggggg…Why did I want to do this whole PTA thing? We had what I thought was going to be our normal business meeting last night. Not a lot going on right now, so it should be quick in and out, easy-peasy. No. Turns out the spirit shirts(wtf is that exactly?) were in, and we had to sort them out by class and put them in bags to be delivered today. Confusing as all heck, since only every other page had sizes listed on it. (The person who made the sheets up seemed to think I would be coordinated enough to follow the columns down the page if they were put one on top of the other. Fooled her!) The short meeting turned into a 3 hour ordeal, even with 4 of us working on it. At the end of it the PTA president asked me to do a couple things, one of which was holding onto the class lists and extra shirts. We knew we came up short on two sizes and had extras on others, so we figured either we were sent the wrong number, or somewhere along the line a shirt or two got put in the wrong...
Reason #254 I Will Not Make Mom of the Year
2007-11-07 05:35:00 Brendan comes in from outside the other day rather distressed. Oh boy, yet another fight between him and his brother. “What’s wrong?” I ask. “Brother shit on my ear mommy!” Knowing I am mis-understanding due to his speech issues, I ask him again. What happened? Even more animated, “Mommy, brother shit on my ear!!” I couldn’t help it, I cracked up laughing. I knew I wasn’t getting it, but the visual was too much. Still, I had to at least make the effort to keep a straight face. “What is it Brendan, did you say brother sat on your ear?” Looking totally, utterly annoyed, “No mommy, he SHIT ON MY EAR!!!” I know it’s wrong, I know he was frustrated, but OMG I died. Seriously, the kind of belly-aching laugh you don’t get so much as an adult anymore. Tears rolling down my face, trying to catch my breath, howling with laughter. Yes, I truly am *that* immature. He finally gave up, and only after he w... More About: Reason , Make , Year
