Hodge Podge and Poop

Looking for a profound post?

Then you came to the wrong blog. 

I started my day with this hope that today would be a marvel of accomplishment. I'd write magical words, I'd clean my house in a frenzy that would make the blitzkrieg look slow, and I'd have dinner ready to eat so son #2 could have a nice, home cooked meal before leaving for his TSA trip to Florida. 

Instead, I stepped in dog pooh, and then trailed it from my dining room table to my coffee maker. 

By the time I scrubbed the floor and my slippers, son #1 was awake and wanting breakfast; son #3 wanted me to call Microsoft and see if he could get his gamer account back (seems he got locked out after making one too many attempts to get in with bogus email accounts like jimjimminy and hotman65);  and then comes the text from the hubs reminding me to check on son #4's order with Amazon.

Crapola. Literally.

Son #1...have a bagel; number #3...later, when you get back from football, I promise; and son #4? Seriously...I would  kick his cute little hiney, but it may be partly my fault.

I guess while I'm blogging or writing, I don't pay one-hundred percent attention to questions and comments of the living people in the room. 

According to my kids, Conner (boy #4) got permission to shop and purchase a Nintendo DS 3-D on Amazon while I was busy blogging. Here I thought we were talking about pancakes, but like they say, I get distracted. 

So yesterday, the games (which I guess I also approved and assume he paid for) arrived, but no DS. Conner gets worried and asks, "Mom, my seller has a 100% negative rating, do you think that matters?"

Oy Vey.

New rule. 

No asking Mom questions when she is hypnotized by the glare of the computer screen.

Therefore...due to the many hiccups, distractions, duties and obligations...I have nothing.

You want profound, you want funny?  Might I suggest stopping by Kristin Lamb's  blog?  Her rant on body dysmorphia is as funny as it is tragically true.

Might I also suggest being brave, standing up as a writing contender and entering  WRiTE CLUB?

Can you take a hit? Stick your writing chin out there and see if you can come out on top?

Time is almost up. You have until June 30th to get your entry in for the first round of judging.


I'd also like to take a minute from my busy, exotic life filled with dog crap and kids and say thanks to the truly exotic, living in France, eating steamed veggies, and running in marathons, Ms. Elise Fallson for this award.

It's so pretty and I love the sentiment.


Thanks Elise!
Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves, for sure.
Just ask Aretha and Annie ;)

And I'm passing this award along to Sheena-kay Graham and Livia Peterson. Really, I can't think of a single blogging chick who isn't worthy, but these two gals always take it to the next level!
