Today, I had my 15 minutes of fame as I was the featured blogger for SITS. If you’re not familiar with the gals at The Secret’s in the Sauce, you’re missing out on a fabulous group of women.
Since I was Queen for the Day and Emo Mom at the same time, I had to wear my tiara and fingerless gloves at the same time. It’s not a look I recommend as few people can pull it off. I think I did a pretty good job. My tiara only fell off a few times. Once while I was mopping the kitchen floor and the other while I was pulling laundry out of the dryer.
Ray Ray is going to camp tomorrow morning and we have to meet the other campers bright and early at 7 a.m. Since she has been such a turd this week and most of her responses to me have been the standard “GRRRRR”, I have decided to carry over my Queen Emo attire for one more day. I shall be dropping her off in front of all her friends in my Emo gloves and tiara. Maybe her being a turd is hereditary?
Today was also a big day for Rico because he thought all this hullabaloo was totally about him. He has gotten a really big head with all the comments about his redneck plumbing skillz. It has gotten so bad I am seriously having thoughts of smothering him in his sleep but then am afraid that I will have some kind of horrendous plumbing problem and will need him. So ladies, please refrain from the comments that praise all his redneck ACME duct tape engineering. It goes straight to his head and it’s big enough already. I think he’s considering starting his own blog and if he does, God help us all. I will be moving.
Anyhoo, thanks to all the great people who stopped by my little blog today. I am in the process of reading every comment and am trying to visit each and everyone of your blogs!

Where have you been all my life?
My 14 year old un-friended me on facebook an hour before his holy confirmation at church. Friended me again when I threatened daisy-dukes, heals and no bra….
and an aside, today was a very very rough day for me and the note you left on my blog, as funny and cute as it was, meant the world to me sitsta!

You must let us know if showing up wearing all of the Emo paraphenalia did the trick with the daughter. You are a brave woman and obviously love your children very much to subject yourself to that kind of fashion statement.

Man, I think I need to step up my game.
I’m still doing the singing with all the windows rolled down as we pull up.
I’m wondering if there’s a website out there with suggestions on embarrassing your kids. I’m just not that darn creative.

You should really post a great goodbye pic with you in your emo and tiara hugging and kissing all over her in front of the bus.

Visiting from SITS a day late and dollar short. You really need to keep him alive for the next crisis. Suppose your water heater goes on the fritz?

I’m starting to think you must have been the most observant of my sister’s friends, because I swear to heaven that you’ve taken lessons from our mother.

Queen Emo, huh? Now THAT’S a look. And I’m pretty sure I couldn’t pull it off. Kudos! But ummm camp? Already? And 7am? No wonder she’s having an attitude. That is EARLY

Thanks for visiting…and asking about the bread!! The things I would suggest right off are to check your oven temp and make sure it’s correct (with an oven-safe thermometer)…if you don’t have one try just turning your oven down a few degrees from what the recipe says. Bread is usually done when you can tap it and it either sounds hollow or close to it. Hope that helps…if not please come back and let me know and I’ll see what else I can think of!
