I am Thankful Meme

November 26th, 2008 by Lauren | 2 Comments | Filed in About Me, Mom Blog, Motivational



I had planned to post here about all I was thankful for, then my friend Angie tweeted about her post in response to Mommy Community’s “I am Thankful” Meme. It’s simple, all I have to do it post about what I’m thankful for! And because it doesn’t have to be detailed, this list might get long - so here goes!

  1. First, and above all, my husband, and my boys
  2. My friends - the old ones who know where I’ve been, and most recently my newer, online friends who can share my vision and see where I’m going.
  3. My family - extended family. I have the greatest in-laws, and while my family is nowhere nearby, I know they’re always there.
  4. My support system - that I have one, because there are so many that don’t.
  5. Our Health - I say “our health” because right now every here is relatively healthy. (Keeping fingers crossed)
  6. My Online Businesses - that although they aren’t at the point of replacing one of hubby’s salaries, they are at least making enough to supplement it, and take some of the pressure off.
  7. Coffee! - Okay, had to throw that in there ;)
  8. Our situation - that being that hubby has two jobs that are making enough for me to stay home and take care of our boys, that we have 2 cars that run, and can make the mortgage every month - though we always wonder, and plan for “what would happen if…”

Oh, I could go on, but will just summarize it here by saying I definitely have a lot to be thankful for again this year!

My Newest Competition

November 23rd, 2008 by Lauren | No Comments | Filed in Mom Blog, WAHMom Stuff

Here he is! My newest source of competition for time on my PC, lol!

At 4.5 years old - the monkey is all over wanting to play “dot-com” games. Little Man wants to go to Cartoon Network like Big Brother does and play those games. We have had the argument more than once that he is not old enough, and Nick Jr. or PBSkids games are for kids his age and much more fun for him to play. I win, of course.

And now it’s a fight for the computer each morning. Last week i laid down the law. I get to be on the computer until 10:00am (after Dora). Then he gets his computer time - short attention span so right now it’s usually not more than 30 minutes. We do some learning games together, but he’s also kicked me out of the room with an independent “I can do it myself”. Good for him!

Slowly my kids are going to be taking over my PC, I know it. That’s okay, just means - I get the new one! :D

Don’t Compare Yourself With Others

Funny how sometimes the right article comes up at just the right time. Without going into why, I’ll just post the article that hit home for me tonite.

Wahms, Don’t Compare Yourself With Others!
By Carrie Lauth

Wahms, do you constantly compare yourself with others and come up short?

You know how it is…you feel like this wahm’s website looks better than yours, that wahm’s direct sales business is more successful than yours, and then there’s that one wahm who is everywhere spitting out infoproducts, seemingly in her sleep.

Do you torture yourself like this?
