Have You Ever Heard that Expression, “Running Around Like a Chicken With Your Head Cut Off?”

March 22, 2010 by Elaine

This week begins the busy, and it continues for a couple of weeks.

There are birthdays (even a “half” one), there are parties and celebrations. There is shopping and baking to do (not sure if I’m doing the baking yet or not…).

Tomorrow I will be hosting a giveaway (come check it out, it’s something REALLY healthy, yummy and GOOD.)

There’s a dentist appointment, a doctor appointment (or two) and Easter.

There are soccer games (yes, two in one weekend, AGAIN).

And of course, amongst all that, there’s regular life.

You know, cooking, laundry, diaper changing, school pick up, husband working like a mad man.

Am I complaining? No, no.

Just letting you know that if there are a few typos in my posts for the rest of my life this month… well, this is probably why…

P.S. Monday, I’m ready for you. Don’t you dare think you’ve got a hold a me. Even the grocery shopping is ALREADY done, so HA!


P.P.S Baby K is giving Monday the “stink eye” in the above picture. Can’t you tell? (Okay, she’s probably giving ME the stink eye, but let’s just pretend, k?) Oh, and I discovered her first tooth poking through on Friday. It’s as if I blinked and it was there.

P.P.P.S Here’s my girl and me together at the zoo last week. My friend Ann was nice enough to grab my camera and take this for me. (it was all her idea, really).


P.P.P.S.S. And here’s me and Little G at the park last week in a “self picture.”


Now I’m gonna link up to Mommy & Me at Krystyn’s place! Get some pics of you and your kids. It’s SO worth it!

    I really should do that. Take more photos of me with my kids. I hate the way I look in most photos so I tend to aviod it somewhat, but you are right. I treasure the photos of Weston and I when he was a baby. I need to take more now. These days go too fast.

    I love baby K’s stink eye – I feel exactly the same about Monday! As ever, I don’t know how you do it all! And don’t worry I won’t point out any typos. 😉

    adorable! I am working on a project to get in pics with my kids every single day this year – so far soo good – I’ve missed one…it’s not easy-and they aren’t always pretty – but I’m doing it! Glad you are getting out from behind the camera too!

    Adorable…
    Moms need the day to be 30 hours long! Good luck with your busy week.

    I will have to teach my hubby to use my camera. Otherwise I will never be in pics, only taking them!

    Busy, busy, busy..and it never slows down, does it?

    I was totally going to call that picture “stink eye” but you beat me to it.

    You all look so darling—especially YOU, Elaine! You look phenomenal.

    I should let hubs take some pics with me in them. I hate myself in pictures, though…

    What a cute self picture! I’m still working on mastering that technique. I think, however, that my 14 year-old sister has it down!
