Little Ms. Independent does not want Mommy’s interaction today - she wants to color and “you - go over there, I color this” is her way of saying “Mom, I sense you are stressed about being away from me for over a week for the first time and instead of showering you with kisses I’ll do the prudent thing and protect myself from your smothering love.”
So I’m on the computer peeking smiles and blowing kisses between sentences. Wow - I really am a Modern Mom! I decided to try for the Bronze Medal in Momma Blogga’s Blog Olympics. I’m not sure I’ll make it until Gold (unless Papaya continues to resent my affection today) since I leave town on the 17th and won’t be back until the Blog Olympics are over.
So; I have:
Comment on up to 5 new blogs
I made a comment about A-Rod’s wife’s choice to be photographed on ParentDish
I wished BitchMama well after a bad dream.
I told a woman at The Mini Homestead that I was impressed by her.
I told Formerly Angsty Poet about the awesome parks of Northern Virginia.
Sue has chosen to use some Montessori in her homeschooling and I congratulated her.
Subscribe to a new blog
This is good since I just cleaned out my Google Reader (aka my Homepage) of sites that were no longer being updated. What shall I add? Bento Blogs of course - I’m so inspired by the pictures and am really interested in trying to make my own Tamagoyaki soon.
Submit or vote for a post you like on someone else’s blog on a social networking or bookmarking site
I sent a favorite Hawaii post from Kalani over to Sk*rt - a site I found through BlogHer but have yet to have anything published that I submit which I guess is the nature of such a beast.
Add a blog to your blogroll
Uh, I guess I should bother to add the wonderful Momma Blogga since I’m joining her Olympics! Now I just have to go research how to add to my blog roll….Update! I did it - it’s not pretty, but it’ll do!
Overwrite old draft posts that you’re no longer going to use
I don’t have any old draft posts….but I have made sure to organize with tags!

“Mom, I sense you are stressed about being away from me for over a week for the first time and instead of showering you with kisses I’ll do the prudent thing and protect myself from your smothering love.”
That’s one deep and insightful child you’ve got there!
oh yeah - she’s already smarter than the both of us.
Hey PM,
You only have to complete one event at each level to win that medal. So to win the bronze, you only needed to do one of those things.
The other efforts you’ve made can count toward silver or gold medals, though!
Thanks for participating & good luck!
Thank you so much for submitting to sk*rt. I really do appreciate it! Good luck with the medals! Sounds like you’re on your way to a Gold!
I’m gonna try too. Hopefully my boss doesn’t need my attention!
