A Potpourri Post............

I've got a few thoughts brewing around in this head of mine and it's making a big stink.. so here goes.

My mom came home yesterday!! woo hoo! Thank you all for you kind words, thoughts and prayers. She is still really weak and out of breath, but at least she is at home. I'm going over today to clean her house and cook dinner for her and dad. She is arguing about it.. but she'll get over it.

For some stupid reason, I agreed to take my old job back. I know, I know.. all I ever did was bitch about it, but I'm back to it. We need the money. I'll be back to about 35 hours a week. It's all from home for now, eventually I may be back in the office, but not now. I am upset about it, because I really wanted this to be my time. I wanted to take some classes, read, volunteer at the library and just learn to be a housewife and stay at home mom. When I work at home, the housework suffers... big time. But, now that I have bitched, I will not bitch again.(at least about this subject) I need to count my blessing that I have a job, one that I can do at home while my daughter is in school, and a very sweet boss who was more than happy to take me back.

I am starting Flylady.net tomorrow. I have decided to do it. Their quick routines should help me get the house in some type of order and still be able to get my work done.

I am starting a new walking workout tomorrow. My goals are basically just to walk everyday during the week. That's my first goal. Once I do that for awhile, I will start adding more miles and stuff. I need exercise!

So, that's it for now.. I don't think this blog could get anymore boring lately!!

Sit down... Let's have a little chat...

I know, it sounds like I just called you to the principle's office, but I swear, you're not in trouble! I just have some questions for you, my bloggy friends. I am starting to think about possibly doing reviews or posting ads.. but I'm not sure if I want to. So I have some question for those of you who do (or don't, for that matter, I want to see both sides). I used to do book reviews on an older blog, but I felt like I couldn't be honest if I really didn't like it, because they sent me the book for free, of course! And then, I felt like I was misleading my readers.

So here goes...

1. Do you make any money blogging? how do you chose which ads to run? Do you run whatever you are given?

2. Do you do reviews? If so, do you feel pressured to give a good review, even though the product sucks?

3. Do you turn down any reviews for products or do you do all that are presented?

I have no problem with any of those, by the way. I totally get it. I wish I made money at this, or at least got free stuff! I am looking into it, but I want to be honest and not sugar coat. I guess what I am saying is that I don't want my blog to turn into a job. Although I need the money!! Maybe I should start a second blog just for reviews?? I don't know. Help me out ladies!!

Quick update on Mom

She's still in the hospital. I am still worried sick. Her temp is down, but they are bringing in a lung specialist.. which scares me. I don't know anything else at the moment, but I will keep you all posted!

Funny Friday!!

Did you hear a great joke this week? Found comedy gold on Youtube? Got a funny post on your blog? Add your link here and share it (and promote your blog) with the world!
My choice today is my all time favorite Looney Tunes Cartoon, The Bashful Buzzard! Show your kids how awesome cartoons used to be!!

Would you Rather Wednesday- A Day Late... so what?

Yeah.. it's been that kind of week.. but I like this game, so here goes!
I post a few "would you rather" questions and you answer them. Add your link to Mr. Linky and post a Would you Rather question on your blog! They can be gross, silly, serious, thought-provoking or dirty... who cares!

Now here are my two: (and no, you cannot pick "neither")

1. Would you rather sleep in bed with a chronic snorer or a two year old kid every night?

and bonus gross out question:

2. Would you rather have sex with Donald Trump or Clay Aiken? (yup, I just went there.. deal with it.)

now it's your turn!
