Ironic

I had to laugh at the timing, because just yesterday I wrote about my desire have a tantrum and to bang dishes around until I felt better, and today I learned that my blog made it into the finalists in The Bumps Mommy Blog contest in the Best Stay at Home Mommy Blog category.  I mean, don't get me wrong, that's flippin' awesome, it's just very ironic timing.

So to those who nominated...thank you!  To those who encouraged me yesterday...THANK YOU! Sometimes
all I need is someone to say 'yep, it's tough' and I just feel so much better.

Should you want to go vote, you can click the above button and go straight to the voting (you don't need an account with The Bump to do so), and if you are in the market for any other great mommy blogs, check out my competition, they are smokin' me, but they are awesome so I don't really mind, I'm honored to be there at all!


Also, I am happy to say that yesterday did NOT turn out to be total bust.  I went to my mom's house to pick up my younger brother, and we went back to the farm to visit Nanna.  It was a blast.  Jack got to explore, we got to chat and hang out, and the dogs got to kiss on my baby!

 My Nanna.  She has four kids, she totally gets it.

 Getting kisses from Barbara.  From the state of her nipples (not pictured) I'd hazard a guess that she, too, gets it!

And just for the record, I do brush his hair! He got my hair, and it's very  foofy! I love when the light catches it like this!

Again, you guys, I can't thank you enough for your encouragement yesterday.  Sometimes it is easy to feel like I am living on a little island, and just knowing you are a keyboard away is a huge encouragement!
