New Blog Contest: Real Moms…

by

Inspired by The Queen herveryownself Jill Conner Browne, who has been having some quite heelarious blog contests, lately,(which I have YET to win) and one of my very bestest friends Amy, who posted as her Facebook status, “Real moms don’t shower,” I introduce to you: “Real moms…”

All YOU have to do is fill in the blank, it can be funny or sweet.

ex. Real moms can’t remember when they shaved their legs.

Real moms understand baby lotion commercials are a ploy to trick you into having kids so you’ll buy their stupid lotion.

Got it? Good.

Each comment will enter you for a chance to win a fabulous prize that I’m going to pick out from one of my favorite stores here in town called Mississippi Gift, they carry local pottery, yummy treats and all kinds of fun stuff. Who knows what you could end up with? Contest ends Friday, July 2nd!

Each comment is an entry so if you have more than one post them separately. Entertain me, ladies!!!

Sadie Said: Coo-Coo

by

Thank the sweet Lord in Heaven above! I feel good today for the first time in over a month! The big girls are at a day camp, and after dropping them off, Miss Sadie and I headed to Wal-Mart for the first time in about 5 weeks. (I’m not kidding when I say I was sick. I all but had bedsores I was in the bed for so long.)

We just needed some random groceries and household stuff and it felt amazing to be out of the house and to not feel sick. Sadie kept puckering up her little pillow lips to kiss me and reaching up for hugs, while bouncing her fat baby feet. She was so happy to be back in our routine.

I guess I let my guard down, and turned away from my shopping cart one too many times. Because while trying to decide which Netie Pot to purchase I looked over at Sadie just as she lifted her dress above her head and yelled, “COO-COO!” to an old man walking by. Her diaper was GONE, and she was proudly showing her biznass, i.e., her coo-coo, to anyone and everyone. Regardless if they wanted to see it or not.

Look out people, we’re back.

Aubrey Said: My Moves

by

Today Aubrey and Emma went to their first day of dance camp. As soon as I walked into the gym to pick them up, Aubrey ran up to me yelled, “Check out my moves!” then showed me her jazz hands whilst simultaneously shaking her hips. Then screamed, “MOMMA! Did you know there is a girl here who looks just like a boy?!”

I grabbed them and ran.
