...can make your day!
I was surprised today to see that I was given an award...being I still consider myself fairly new to this blogspot and still trying to figure things out. HENCE, I'm still happy as hell to have received an actual award! Here's it is!
Isn't it pretty?! I received this award from Michelle over at Mommy Confessions and I HIGHLY recommend visiting her blog as she is extremely funny and is always keepin it real- which is a big plus in my book. THANKS Michelle! Also, to find out the origin of this adorable award check out Memoirs of a Mommy and be educated on the importance of organ donations.
This award came at a perfect time for me...you see, (as it's quite obvious) I don't get many visitors here and I've been thinkin about whether I have been using the blog to the best of my abilities. I was contemplating whether I have been writing anything that people would actually even care about...thinking that maybe I have just been telling too many "This is what we did today" stories...I couldn't figure out if by even blogging about my son was considered wrong, or putting his pictures on here was bad. You see all those commercials about teaching your kids not to put themselves on the internet, right? I was also confused if I wanted to still use this blog as a sort of "Mommy journal" about my daily life...or if i wanted to turn it into more of a humor blog. Being that I don't get many comments, I REALLY thought I may have to change things up. BUT I have to think about this. I just joined blogger like 3 months ago...there are people w/ some really great blogs on here but they've been here for over a year - at least! So, in keeping w/ my title...RANDOM THOUGHTS...i think i may just keep doing whatever the hell i feel like doing on that day. Randomness is what i'm known for and randomness is what it shall be.
And on that LOOOOONG note...As you can see I don't even have many people on my blogroll so I can only pass this great award on to so many people....some of which even received this award already this week. But I will pass this on to the best of my ability in hopes that those people will do the same. Two things, please put a link back here, or to whoever bestows this baby upon you. And please be sure to put a link back to the award origin . If you got this award already- consider yourself REALLY SPECIAL that you got it twice cuz you must deserve it.
Courtney at Storing Up Treasures In Heaven - We were best friends in high school and just found each other again a few months ago...and finding her is what brought me here. She has an amazing life and a wonderful blog. I'm happy we are in touch again and happy she welcomed me into the Blogger world.
Sue at Happy Meals and Happy Hour- yeah, I know she got one already from someone but I don't care- this woman is funny as shit and if she doesn't want another award than Bathtub Gangster can accept it instead....keep makin people spit out their morning coffee Sue, we love it!
Chelle B. at The Offended Blogger - you may not want this award and it may piss you off but oh well cuz we need more people w/ your type of humor in the world...I won't be offended in the least if you don't pass this award on cuz I'm not sure if it's your style w/ your blog so i'm simply using this opportunity to let people know how much your blog ROCKS! Take it or leave it...you got an award in my book Chelle.
i hope the links all work...first time i've used that button!
thanks again all...enjoy your weekend!

I am SO glad we found eachother too Jaime. It has made my life a little brighter. And keep blogging. It takes times to find your audience, but you will!

Go with your instinct. I often have that same identity crisis (fairly a newbie, too- about 4 mos. now)- am I mommy, am I funny, am I getting stuff off my chest?... I think that's the lure of this... it's real, you have good days, funny days, and bad days- keep it real!
