I'm loved!!!

I just got done balancing the checkbook and paying bills. It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it. The baby's been sleeping for a few hours now, so my sleep window is growing ever more narrow. Soon I will become the all night human pacifier. I thought I would check a few of my favorite blogs before calling it a night when I saw that Amanda nominated me for this award.

It's my first ever blogging award! Oh happy day!!!

Amanda loves me and she loves me enough to go public! (You're a brave, brave woman!) Thank you my dear friend. You saved me from the "I haven't blogged in 5 days" slump.

Blog Lift

Confession: I am blogging challenged!!!

Yes my friends, it's a frightful disorder but have no fear, my friend Amanda is here! She came to my rescue one sunny afternoon. We put the kids down for a nap and busted out the laptop. She taught me about gadgets and widgets, subscribing and all sorts of great blogging stuff. I truly feel enlightened now.

I mentioned to her that I wanted to spice up the old blog. You know, give it a little nip and tuck. Well, she just couldn't resist. She performed a full blog lift! Isn't it lovely?

Once again - I thank you Amanda, my most creative and generous friend! You're the best pseudo stay at home mom in the world!!!
