My Best Friend

It never ceases to amaze me what an incredible gift from God that it is being a mommy! Seriously, how is it that this little girl is my very best friend?! She is at that age right now where she is copying everything that I do and seems to have the mistaken idea that my every move is just the best and most amazing thing ever.

We were planting flowers yesterday and all the sudden I feel something just right next to me and it was my Sophie Bug. She had sat down next to me on the sidewalk and then I guess felt as though we were not close enough so she scooted over to where our legs were touching and smooshed together. I am such a touchy feely person so to me, these moments are the best thing ever. I can't have enough of that love from my girl! She then seemed content to just watch me plant my flowers. I had one of those "aha" moments (thanks to Oprah who invented a name for those type of moments) where the world could have stopped and all would have been right. I see her putting her dolls to bed, diapering them, shhing everyone in the room when they are sleeping and I think hmm...we may actually be doing something right here. Isnt that one of the many fears as a parent?? Am I doing something wrong? Am I steering her in the wrong direction? It is just always nice to have those mommy conversations with friends where you know that you aer not the only Mom who has these fears and concerns. "Oh, your child has also started having meltdowns in public places when she doesnt get her way and you don't know how to stop them either?" Good to know. I hate that you are going through that tough time and all but you have just made my day with your story of concern for your own parenting skills!! :)   Thanks so much!!

My First Post

To blog or not to blog?! Obviously I decided to go for it. Why not?! I have way too many random "blonde moments" with myself and my family not to share! :) Besides, this could be my best bet to finally get on Good Morning America - unless of course I can get Sophie Bug to do some hilarious you tube video. And yes my friends, I am not above trying that route either! :) 

There is a side of me that thinks, hmm - this could be a really thereaputic way to vent about whatever is going on. Then of course my side that always wins out knows that of course I could not do that because with my luck - of course that one wrong person would read it. I was the chick in school who never passed notes during class because the one time I did, I got caught. Now, if you wanted a note passed in between classes, I was your girl. The only thing that irked me though was that I could never really get it folded that certain way where all the ends all tucked in to one another and it was in that cool shape. Yeah, no matter how much I tried, just wasn't happening so I always had to go with the basic fold. Of course I did overcompensate for this by a little glitz and glamour, with obviously my markers and highlighters, on the outside of the note.

So, here we go with the blog. I feel so sophisticated and grown up. As though I need to be sitting in an airport in a business suit waiting for my connector flight while I blog about the craziness of the world with of course a narrator reading what I type. Instead all you will get here will be the blonde moments of my life as a wife and working mommy. Hmm...this could get interesting - stay tuned! :)
