Follow Me Friday # 47

Sorry I have been MIA. I have almost made it through my first week of full time work. I am exhausted and have so much to catch up on. Have a great weekend!

Pour Your Heart Out Wednesday (well Thursday) - I'm Scared

I'm scared. There I said it. I should be excited and jumping all over for joy, but I am scared.

Why you ask? I got a job. A full time job. After 11 years of staying home with my four daughters, working countless night jobs and part time jobs I finally will be leaving the house from 8 to 4 and working a real job.

Now don't get me wrong. In a sane person's mind this is a great opportunity and a wonderful thing. We can use the money, it has great benefits, which we need as well. Not to mention the fact I went from part time Customer Service Rep on the phone at night to the companies Director of Marketing. I am so grateful for this opportunity I can't even begin to tell you.

I knew this day would come I guess I just thought I had more time. I am lucky my Mom is willing to watch the girls. This job just kind of fell into my lap and I would be a fool to pass it up. Getting back into the workforce is not easy.

Change is so hard. I am trying to embrace it. I am comfortable here at home. It is what I know. Hopefully I will find a way to be comfortable out there in the world as well.

Wish me luck.

Wordless Wednesday - How Was Your Mother's Day?

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. God knows we all deserve it! Wanna know what I got for my present? Check him out......

His name is Nermal. We named him after the cat in Garfield.

Cracker Creations by Lance Review and Giveaway

Packing lunches every day gets tedious and so does trying to find wholesome things to put in their lunches. I was happy to see when Lance had released a new line of all natural snack packs.

Cracker Creations are described as "seasoned crackers with a cream cheese filling" and tout "real cheese, real vegetables, and 5 grams of whole grain per serving." They come in boxes of six individually sealed cracker twin-packs, in two savory flavors.

·         All-natural vegetables or cheese baked into each cracker

·         5 grams of whole grain and only 160 calories per serving

·         0 grams trans fat

·         No preservatives and no high fructose corn syrup

·         Available in two varieties: Garden Vegetable and Parmesan Herb

My girls and I found both crackers to be a little dry, but both delicious. They were a big hit in my family and a welcome addition to our lunches.


I have a box of each to give away to one lucky reader!!

Ode To My Stoller

Dear Stroller,

This was the first weekend in 11 years I have gone to an outing without you. I must say I missed you horribly. I was so wrong in thinking a family outing would be easier without you.

My youngest doesn't need you anymore, but I still do. Where do I keep the diaper bag (that I don't need that still carries my things?). I have no where to put the extra water bottles so we don't have to pay $5.00 a bottle to every fest we go to.

I am so lost without you. I can not bring you with us anymore and it makes me sad. One more step in the whole "all my kids are growing up" adventure.

Thank you for all the years you have served me so well. You will be missed.
