Gossip Avenue

My good friend Tina from Mummy Diaries and Game Freaks has launched a new blog today called Gossip Avenue here is how she describes it.

"Here is where everyone gets together to have a good old gossip.
You will find topics on beauty, fashion, celebs, movies and all sorts here!

At Gossip Avenue 'If we dont hear it, we talk about it!'

You should head on over there if you like to gossip like I do. I wish her well with her new adventure.

Busy Little Beaver

Boy oh boy let me tell you I am just one busy little beaver lately that's why I haven't been writing to many posts. Not only do I have this blog and Max's blog and now with the release of Music Mondays.Hubby and my sister-in-law want me to design blogs for them.See what happens when you start to learn how to make a blog look nice people come out of the woodwork and want you to design them one.Don't get me wrong I LOVE doing it for them it is just time consuming and I really wish I knew how to make one from scratch. You know with the HTML and CSS and all that junk. Then I would feel oh so proud of myself.I am thinking about taking a class to learn how to do it. Or at the very least buy a program to show me how to do it.

I did get some helpful information from Tammy on where to go to make a header and that has been a big help. She told me about a site called Picnik and it is really great the one complaint I have about it is when I have it open my computer moves like a turtle but it's all good.It get's the job done..

I almost have my sil's blog done the next step is to teach her how to do all the blog stuff like writing posts and well everything. She is a fast learner though so it shouldn't take long. Once I get her blog up and running I will share it with all of you my friends.

Now hubby's blog is another story it is in the beginning stages and he has yet to settle on a header and give me his feedback on how he wants it all to look.It is very hard with him being on the road he doesn't have time to just sit and go over it all and make decisions. But I think it is going to be great when it is all done. When he is ready to share you will be the first to know.

A Mothers realization

Today started out good the sun was shining and there was a cool breeze blowing. I went out to do some errands before I had to head off to my son's school for field day. I had the radio on while I was driving and the great music just kept on coming. I had the window down and was singing and dancing. Going from place to place getting things done got home after all was complete had some lunch.

I was so excited about going to see my boy I have been going to all of his school events since he was in preschool. It's a mothers right to go to these functions to cheer him and his classmates on. It has always been such a joy for me to see him do well he is a fast runner so he is always the one who has to do all the running events.

But my day went horribly wrong see today was the day I as a mother have been dreading for 11 years (that is how old my boy is). Today I realized my boy is growing up and he didn't want me to be at his school for field day. I know this because in all of his school years he was always excited to see me come walking in the room or out on the field whatever the case may be. Today was different he avoided me just came over to me when I said "hey son how is it going". SIGH!

I sat next to him as I have always done and he didn't say a word he just looked around at all the other kids chatting with them cheering with them. Ok that's fine I can understand that is what they do but. As I sat there beside my son I could sense his uncomfortableness. So I said to him "Did you want me to hang here or go ahead and go" Know what he said he said "You can go if you want". :( That took a big chunk out of my heart.

So I said "Ok son have fun and good luck" . I was going to go and stand in the back of the room so I could wait for him to be in an event because when I had gotten there he hadn't had a turn yet. So I go to the back where I can see him but he can't see me and wait. Luckily he was in the next evet so I got a chance to se him. The event was called moon walking the kids had these metal alien looking things on their heads that they had to walk to the cone at the end while balancing these alien things on their heads. Well he was walking along and I am smiling wide watching him and low and behold he sees me and stumbles and drops the things on his head and gives me a look of disappointment.

I felt my heart break as he bent down to pick up the alien things and go back to the beginning and start all over. So I put my tail between my legs swallowed my heart and walked out of the building. I was thinking to myself the whole way to my car Oh my goodness my son doesn't need me anymore. I had to hold back the tears that I felt burning in my eyes. How could this happen? When did this happen? How do I deal with this?

I guees it's all a part of growing up and I have to learn that in private my son is mommy's baby boy. At school and in public he is my big strong man. This is something I will deal with in my own time and my own way. I still LOVE my boy.

Slowly getting the technical jargon

I am finally getting the hang of all this. Well not the hang but I did figure out something I have been trying to do since last week. I was getting lost in all the technical talk,but I finally got the Technorati claim to go through. What a relief for now. Next issue to tackle is writing good material. I am beginning to think that may be harder than putting all the codes in the proper spots.

So I have taken a look around and discovered that the most popular blogs are the ones written about technical jargon. Tuff luck for me I am almost completely computer retrarded. But I am slowly almost snail like getting some of it. Now I am not going to write about it or offer advice on it. So my next adventure is to find my as I have seen it put "passion" and write about it.

Frustration !!

I am a little frustrated today!! I am trying like crazy to find out how to do this whole promote your blog thing. I am going from site to site trying to get information on just how to do it. I registered with techno something or other to claim my blog but for some reason it is not claiming it keeps saying claim in progress. Then I went to stumbleupon and when I signed up for it they said I already had an account so I signed in and it wasn't me.Well it had some of my information right except for my nickname and the city I live in and my age. So I tried to fix it but it says you can not change your nickname once it is registered. They suggest that you delete your account and set up a new one.


I just want to figure this all out before I get so annoyed that I give up. I really don't want it to come to that but it sure is heading that way.
I would like to thank rocks in my dryer for sending me the link to blogging help I am thankful for that it did have some useful info on it.
Maybe I am being to impatient maybe I should just step back take a breath and try again another day. Who knows things may be a little less frustrating in a day or two.
