Momma Feels Young

Harry Being a mother is the most difficult job you will ever encounter. You work work work and there is never a break. Most people that look at us do not even think that we work, but we are 24 hours 7 days a week. There are other moms out there that are like me; I do not live close to family. We do not have anyone that takes care of our kids and my husband is a bit on the none-trusting side and we haven’t gotten a sitter ever. So the only break I get is if my DH can give me one and he does from time to time but I still feel that I’m always taking care of them and at the end of the week I feel so old and tired.

Last night, I saw Harry Connick Jr at BlissDom. I’m am not the kind of woman that sees stars or swoons over famous people. It’s just not a big deal, but this was so much fun. Being in a room of my peers, listening and dancing to great music, I felt like I was back in my younger years, (I’m not that old, but I just feel old sometimes) enjoying myself without any worries. I think it was the first time that I was able to not worry about my children at all since they were born. I was completely relaxed. I danced, and stood in line like a teenager waiting to get my photo taken with Harry Connick Jr. I can’t wait to see how the photo came out. The photo above I took with My Cannon EOS, I love my camera, it looks like he was looking right at me and I was so far away. I also had the pleasure of shaking his hand and it made me feel special even though he was shaking hands with everyone he took a photo with. All of these things made me feel young, it was wonderful and I have to thank all the people that put BlissDom together. THANK YOU!

Off to BlissDom Today

My best friend and I are driving to BlissDom and I’m about to leave. I’m not sure how plugged in I’ll be while I’m there. I saw one tweet last night about the wifi speed being slow, but what can you expect with 500 bloggers in one spot. Of course that would drain a system.

This will be my very first blogging conference. I’m going to learn how to brand myself and become a better blogger. I’m going to learn how to maximize my reach and become more personal. I’m very excited to see some familiar faces and learn from the best. Wish me luck and hope that I have the courage to be social.

 

I also need some energy from somewhere. My kids have not slept well since I have arrived here in Texas. Oh how I am losing it.

 

If I can be on, I will, otherwise, I’ll be posting on Monday of Next week. Have a great weekend without me.

Random Tuesday What to do today, and what do you think of my new hair style?

I’m wondering if I should keep the kids home today because they are starting to get sick. It’s usually when kids are starting to get sick is when they are contagious so I’m wondering about getting a whole facility of kids full of sick today or not. We usually go to the Kirkland Community Center with our other friends on Tuesdays but I’m just not sure they can handle it today.

I’m going to be taking a nap as soon as the kids are done with breakfast and I need to take a shower. I’m yucky this morning. My hair is different.

On Saturday I spent the day getting my hair done. I cut it short and got some highlights and lowlights. I had blond and red put in my hair. The blond matches my daughter and the red matches my son. He has the brightest red hair I have ever seen. It’s beautiful.

Here is a picture of mine, what do you think?

Staying home brings up the question of what will I do instead? Play outside in the rain, or hopefully it will be sunny, and get some exercise. I’m in love with my Wii right now because it says I’m down to my pre-pregnancy weight and that I lost 3 lbs last week. It’s not possible that I lost that much weight, so I think it’s broken just a bit, scales are so inaccurate. Depends on water, clothing, and the amount of cookies currently in my tummy. I better at least get some exercise in.

I’m still waiting on my package for Blissdom, I’m very excited to be going on a trip. I’m a little nervous because of traveling with my kids. I’m taking them to Texas for free baby sitting and then driving with my best friend in the whole world to Blissdom. So my trip is going to be excellent in so many ways.

Oh and I need tips on how to get sponsorship to BlogHer2010. I purchased my tickets so now I need help paying for plane tickets and hotel. Anyone want to be my sponsor or give me tips?
