$1000

Hmmmmm...  what would this 46-year-old-grey-haired-mama-of-four do with a $1000?  Probably shop for school clothes!  LOL!


Seriously, yesterday was July 9th and I found myself in Target with three of my four hottlings.  Guess what was out for purchases ALREADY?.....  School Supplies!  (Can't you just hear the moans?)


Well, I don't know about you moms but this one is NOT ready to succumb my summer "stay"cation just yet!  Here on Hott Mountain, where is plenty of summer left, we'll be floatin' around all afternoon.


Just submitted an application for a random $1000 blog scholarship.  Although it sounds like a marketing thing, wouldn't it be nice to find an extra 1000 bucks for school clothes.  I'll tell you something:  these kids are taller each morning when they wake up!  


Spending most of the summer barefoot (remember those days?), I can't even imagine what we will need for shoes.

The Last First

"The Last First" is a story that published today on my column, Hott Flashes, over on Moms of Faith.
My limited computer skills seem to get me in trouble.  I can't seem to figure out how to rotate these pictures for you. Therefore, for those of you dear friends that occasionally check out my blog, I am including the actual photo of Levi's note to the tooth fairy!  Check it out!  Sorry it is sideways - but I do like the little white speck in the center.  What  you see is Levi's real tooth!  That little sucker was loose for days!
 
Yes, there it is!  This mommy's "last first" tooth episode!  Please click the link above to see more (I promise you will enjoy it) and share with your friends.  Tell me about your "Last First" -- we're all in this together!

 

Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice!

When Kids Grow Up Too Fast

I know, I know... you're probably wondering, "What?"  Which foot is 11 and which is 45???  Can you tell?  Exactly!  Can someone please tell me when my baby girl got so tall?  Have you ever turned around and your kid grew several sizes?  Find out how this happened to me just last week in my column "Hott Flashes" here:

Tell me if this has ever happened to you!  (I hope it has!)
