Have I ever mentioned that I am the homeschooling, overworked and underpaid mother to four boys? Have I ever mentioned that I am hugely pregnant with another boy? Have I mentioned that I rarely get to shower and leaving the house to take one of the boys to speech therapy is a treat?
Oh, I have? Well then you are fully aware of how thrilled I am to be a finalist for- BEST NEW BLOG of 2008. I wasn't sure which I should do first: scream, cry, throw up, write a post begging for votes. Luckily, my decision was made for me because I needed to go make lunch, teach some math and remedy a serious diaper situation.
All the while, I was fantasizing about this...
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who voted for me! Would you mind to please, please, pretty please go vote for the finals?
Also, send an email or a comment that you voted and I'll make a lovely blogroll with everyone listed!
Remember my New Years Resolution? It would be the year of the bloggy Rawk Star? Who knew I would ever be so lucky?
Sweet!
I love you, you, you, you and you,
Fussy





You got it, chica.
PS. You need to wax your chest a bit. I'm telling you that as a friend.

Ok I voted. Even though I just met you & all I feel like we have a bond. I just had my 6th daughter. So we have nothing in common. Damn, you must be a good writer. Love your blog.
