How do I loathe thee, let me count the ways...
My day today didn't get off on the right foot. Nothing went as planned. I am sitting in the car at football practice as I write this post. It's raining and it is a swampy 79 degrees. It's Tuesday Ten and National Pet Peeves week and I get to whine about 10 things.
How many minutes until school starts?
When Christopher wakes up this morning, I think I'll ask him, "How many minutes until school starts?" I am sure that will make his day. Not. I on the other hand am very excited about it. I even created a countdown widget!
I'm linking up with Tuesday Ten - 10 things to love and hate about back to school.
10 Throwback Photos
This past weekend I went home for a quick trip. Two of my cousins were flying in and part of our mission this weekend was to go through photo albums. At some point after my grandfather passed away, all the photo albums went to my mom. I brought a shoebox full of photos home, but here are a few that I took snapshots of...
The Halloween I went as "Supermom"...
I thought I had a lot of time on my hands. So I spent much of it overcompensating on single parenting and trying to make the best memories for Christopher in his father's absence.
Recap of last week... I am BLOOPED
Well last week was interesting. I had to be all competitive and finish something I hadn't planned to start. But it was all good - I did it and great things came out of it! I'm blogger-pooped though.
It was a great networking week. As Joi from RX Fitness Lady put it, "No conference, no money spent, just time and energy!"
Blog Challenge - Shout Outs
Today is the last day of the mini blog challenge. The prompt is "blog love" (post specific). I am breaking the rules on this one because I didn't do my homework and I am writing this at the crack of last minute. I do have some URL specific shout outs though...
How my family reacts to my blog...
This is day six of a mini blog challenge where we are prompted to write about how our family reacts to our blog. My mom and dad read it. I have a cousin who reads it, my brother and his wife will read it if I send them the link, and my husband reads it like never.
How does your family react to your blog?
A helpful list to get your man to do stuff...
This is day five of a mini blog challenge and we are prompted to write a helpful list. I am sharing a list that I wrote over a year ago. It still holds true, and it is a list that brings people to my blog everyday!
Throwback Thursday (10 years)
Today is day four of a mini blog challenge and we are throwing it back 10 years! I am throwing it back 10 years to the day!!!
What gadget were you using in 2003? I'm going on about this one like is was the best thing since peanut butter and jelly...
Awards & Challenges...
When I was a new blogger trying to figure out what to write about, I decided to give myself the Versatile Blogger Award. Then the awards really started pouring in. I mean like every other five months and I just couldn't keep up. So I wrote a prepared speech and sent a personal e-mail to the presenter sugar coating the "thanks but no thanks" and hoped I was forgiven.
Sunday Breadcrumbs...
I am introducing a blog hop today. It's been around for awhile, but I've just recently heard about it since, my blogger friend Rosey is one of the hostesses over there.
There's no prompted theme, so I thought I'd just leave breadcrumbs to posts I've shared this week.
A drop in the bucket...
This is not a finish the sentence post.
It's about BlogHer...
it's like one of those big fancy corporate conferences, where you walk around, sign in, show your face, collect vendor junk and then go enjoy the beach, except...
10 Things I'm Thankful For... (illustrated)
I'm participating in a blog hop this weekend. I tried to think of some warm and fuzzy stuff. But as I was looking at Twitter, Facebook and the photos in my phone from this week, I found ten other things.
10 Things I'm Thankful For...
Old School Blogging: It’s a thing!
This is a pretty cool link up. I had no idea this party was going on. I’ve read a few posts that seemed to be answering some getting to know you type questions, but I didn’t know it was a thing until this week.
Who's On First?
The title of today's post comes from an Abbott and Costello skit. My daddy introduced me to them, along with Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges and The Little Rascals.
----
Christopher and I often have a dialog that I end with "okay" and just chalk it up to a "Who's on first" moment.
I Hate Mondays...
There's a reason for my harsh title. Hellooooo - it's Monday and it's almost the title of the blog hop I'm participating in today.
Why I hate THIS Monday...
I've committed a crime...
I've sent Ellen copies of The Christopher Chronicles. So just in case I'm ever sitting across from her, I'd like to go ahead and get this embarrassment out of the way.
It's a Finish the Sentence Friday Post!
"If I could go back and do something over it would be..."
Murphy's Law of Home Alone...
If nothing breaks when my boys are out of town, then bugs and noises come out of the woodwork.
'Twas minutes before dawn, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a slug...
Humor Me Blog Hop #3
This week I am sharing a post from December 19, 2011. You're lucky if you get your blog read a week before Christmas, let alone a comment. Same goes for summer. That's why I chose this to humor you with this one. With a blog hop, someone is guaranteed to stop by.

I used IMDB.com for my “research” of this Monday Listicles topic...
