My Very First Blog Award. Speech! Speech!
And the winner is... ME! I just got my very first blog award--an "I ♥ your blog" award no less. What would an award be without an acceptance speech? (And a new dress? But, we'll take care of that later!)
I would like to thank (hands to my cheeks), ummmmm.... this is so overwhelming. Ummmmm (wiping single tear drop that falls ever so slowly down my left cheek)... first, Georgie at Confessions Of... for nominating me for this award. I wouldn't be here without her Oklahoma lovin'. I'd like to thank my husband for not holding a grudge when I slept through the alarm clock and forgot to pick up the kids from school (see Negligent Napper). Also, I'd like to express much gratitude to my not-so-little Red Rover (just made it into the 100th percentile for height) for making everyone laugh with his literal interpretations in "Must Have Sugar Now" and last but not least, thank you Princess Rachel for putting the adventure in my Adventures of Babysitting series, especially the "Once Upon a Potty" story from Day 7. I wouldn't have a blog without all of you! Oh! One more! The teleprompter clock is telling me I need to move on, but I wouldn't be where I am today without all of you lovely, fellow mommy bloggers who have posted comments on my site and who are no doubt decreasing the amount of cellulite you have may develop.
I'd now like to nominate these other mommies who make me laugh and cry on a daily basis.
1. Marketing Mama
2. Following In My Shoes
3. Fawnahareo's Place
4. Seven Clown Circus
5. Parenting Pink
6. The Pink Potpourri
7. Not So Extraordinary
8. (Late Entry) Pear Soup
If you'd like to participate in this Awards Ceremony of all Awards Ceremonies--and believe me, the post parties are out of this world, then simply follow these steps to share some mommy love by nominating your favorite blogs:
1. Winners: Feel free to put the logo on your blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message nominees' blogs.

i puffy heart love you for giving me my FIRST award!!! THANK YOU!!! Now i have all kinds of ideas running through my head for an "acceptance post" but i need you to be patient. it's gotta be good... so it may take me a few days!
in response to your last comment, i do love my nannying job, but it gets tiring at times. as mothering does too! its just different though because it's not your own kids. i have been having a harder time with it recently due to some irregular circumstances... but i'm learning my place in the kids lives... i try to love them as much as i can, but at the same time not get too close, because it will just rip my heart out to leave them... ive been with them over a year now and have just under a year left... the littlest one will be in kgarden next fall... so we'll see what happens!
