My BFFs -- It's a Party in My Purse!

I'm reading Kathy Buckworth's book "The BlackBerry Diaries" and she's cracking me up!  Frankly, I'm surprised I didn't get multiple copies of it from my friends and family for Christmas. It is so me! This woman gets how to deal with motherhood. ;) We both even name our BlackBerries! Hers is "Seamus" and mine is "Larry."

However, she thinks of her BlackBerry as another one of her children. I have a deeper, much more intimate relationship with Larry. He's pretty much attached permanently to me -- either in my hand, back pocket or purse. Every night he sleeps right beside me.

My husband is reluctantly okay with my open-relationship boyfriend.  He once jokingly said that I would pick Larry over him if forced to choose in a dire situation. After thinking it over for a few moments I looked over to him and said, "No, of course I'd pick you!" (Not that I admitted it to him, but after all, there's only so much a handheld electronic device can do.) ;)

For Christmas I received an iPod Touch that I named "Todd." Larry and Todd have become my best friends forever, and we're pretty much inseperable. At the touch of my fingertips, we can instantly reach all of our friends on Facebook and Twitter and see what's going on. Hey, it's a continous "Party in my Purse" with our 500+ friends! Gottta LOVE technology!!

Confessions of a...

Yesterday morning my babysitter jokingly called her mother a term that I kind of found offensive. Apparently, her mom is always on Facebook and Twitter. Well, c'mon! Who ISN'T these days?

Okay, that's a joke. My close friends and family tease me about never being off my BlackBerry. And, since Christmas, I now have an iPod Touch so now I'm ambi-gadget-dextrous. Oh, wait! I also have a cute, little netbook so I'm... um, what do you call a 3-appendage-using person? ;)

Well, yesterday afternoon I was simultaneously:
- watching eldest son in karate class
- refereeing 2 youngest sons while they fought
- talking with 2 of my karate mom friends, AND
- DM-ing a reply to a Twitter friend.
(Twitter friend, you know who you are!) ;)

So, what does that make me? Yes, I think I might just fit that very unattractive term my babysitter uses for her mom. I am...

a Social Media Whore!

Happy New Year!

Kudos to those of you who make and keep resolutions! I do not. I never keep mine.  :) As an alternative, I try to improve myself little by little with easy timelines.  It works for me.

So, this week I resolve to get some pictures up on this site.  We'll see if I can keep that one. ;)

Hope you're having a great 2k10 so far!!

Broken Bones Broken Promises

As a mom there are some days when you feel like can do anything and everything -- simultaneously. Today was not one of them. I feel like a complete failure and I should turn myself into the nearest Mommy Police.

Last night all three boys fell asleep in the same bed watching a movie. Normally I move each to their own bed, but I was distracted watching Monday Night Football and fell asleep after a close loss to the darn Bears. (I may be a bad mom, but I'm a very good Vikings football fan.)

Unfortunately, our youngest fell off the bed. I sleepily put him in our bed and didn't think much of it despite him crying on and off all night. He was still kind of whimpering this morning which is quite uncharacteristic of him --our 5-year-old, yes, but not Logan.

Well, long story short... He broke his broken collar bone. They don't cast collar bones and say that with young children you can't even tell it was broken after two years of healing.

I'm his mom. I was there. I will know. I promised to keep him safe and never let anything hurt him the moment he was born and I FAILED. I know it could have been much worse, but still...

Hugs to you and yours Supermoms.


Happy and smiley even with a broken collar bone.

iPod Touch Experiment

This is a test. This is only a test. If this had been an actual emergency... Well, then we'd all be in trouble. ;)

Have a cool new gadget that I'm playing with. Technology - gotta love it!

Here's a pic of my little Santa's helpers. :)

Testing 1, 2, 3... GO!

Well, I'm legit. I now have a blog... Lord help me -- well, my family, friends and all who are associated with me from now on!

I really, really wanted to name my blog "Frogs into Princes." Unfortunately, that title was already taken!!

My 3 sons (yes, I'm living a 1960s sit-com in the 2000's - ugh!) are ages almost-9, almost-6 and just-turned-3. (Again, Lord help me!) I love them dearly, but some days -- well, let's just leave it at that.

Well, here's to over-sharing! Let's go!
