I wanted to give a quick report on how I did last month at FlashBack, or attempting to post everyday in August. Well, on this blog I only had 11 posts, but when you combine that with the posts on my other blogs I had a grand total of…..
26 posts!
(Not too shabby!)
11 posts a month on my personal blog (this one) is about the most I ever can manage.
Think I did okay.
With my youngest starting kindergarten life has been different.
Now, my life is busy but too quiet (except for dogs and chickens) until they come home. In the noisy car yesterday Jac wanted to know what it meant to go to the *principal’s office.
*Note that my kids’ principal is the sweetest person ever.
Jac: “What do they do in the principal’s office?”
Max: “Put you in the chokey
Me: “Well, it depends on what you do. Talk to you about it, call your parents, kick you out of school…”
Jac: “Oh. Did you ever go the principal’s office mom?”
Me: “Never. I was a good girl. ” (true) “Well, okay three times. The first was when I was in kindergarten.” (also true)
Kids: “When you were in KINDERGARTEN?!! WHAT did you DO, mom?”
Me: “Well, there was this boy who was my friend. I thought he was pretty cute. I was goofing off at lunch and pretended to pour my milk on his head, but my milk was all gone. Well, I thought it was all gone but found out it wasn’t when he got doused with milk, so I was sent to the office.”
Jac: “What did the principal do?”
Me: “She laughed and told me not to do it again.”
Max: “Wow, you were lucky mom.”
This week’s assignments…
Saturday my sweet friend Alison and I went to a Cheeseblogher party hosted by the awesome Kyran Pittman.
I went to a WordPress convention a few months ago and felt so out of place.
NOT the case here with the funny, wonderful women I met. I look forward to more Arkansas Blogging fun!

They had all kinds of games set up (jumpy castles, face painting, fire truck, police car, ambulance tour, fish, food, clowns…) and Trout Fishing in America was the headliner. The kids had a great time!
A great Friday!
I feel slightly nuts lately.
Maybe it’s the heat. (Only like 115 today.)
Or me not learning to say “no” once again…
Too many irons in the fire as my mom would say. (Sure feels like it in this heat.)
My friend Alison has a challenge going to blog every day in August. I don’t know if I’ll manage it (missed the first already) but I will try! Just to keep my head.
Why I feel crazy:
I feel better already! (Maybe that’s the ice cream…)
