Epson/Sparkplugging Event
I am sooo far behind, but I went to this awesome event last Thursday. Wendy Piersall was so kind to invite me, and I met so many awesome Chicago women. It was a great girls night out. The drinks and food were awesome (note to self: don’t drink the drink above and expect to go to bed. It was 2 am before I remembered that that drink had Red Bull in it). I’d like to give a shout out to all the wonderful women I met (now, if I don’t mention you and you were there, I didn’t get your card! Just let me know, so I can add you to this list): Barbara, Beth, Kim, Kim, Karen, Arianne, Jessica, Amber, Jayne, and Sima. It is nice to exchange ideas with fellow women who understand social media and the uses of Twitter. I hope to meet these incredible women again.
Bad Luck Go Away
My family and I have had a tough time this year. First, my aunt died in June (she was in her late 50′s). Then my uncle died (he was in his 80′s). Now, my cousin, who was only 55, just died of ovarian cancer. it is crazy. It sucks being four hours away, because I tend to miss out on these kind of events. I feel extremely guilty that I could not make the wake or the general. I have to take into account disrupting my two children schedules, my schedule, arranging babysitting, and sometimes it is just too hard. I keep telling my mom we have had our three times of bad luck, so we are done for the year. I hope I am right. We deserve a break, so we can sit on a modern sofa and just enjoy life. It really puts your life into perspective and realize how good we all really have it.
Can I Keep It?
As a mom, how often do you hear this question? At my house, this is a daily question. I never grew up with pets. My husband grew up with a ton of them. Right now, we use to have fish (and we are getting a little fish tank next week). That is the only pet Madison has known.
She asks all the time for a dog or a cat. However, she does ask if we can keep the rabbits, squirrels, ants, chipmunks, and pretty much anything else she sees on the ground. If she’s sees a commercial for an animal on TV, she has to have it. She’ll even go as far as pausing the tv (we have a dvr, so she can do that) to make sure we see it! Yes, I think she needs a pet. However, we are often gone on the weekends which does not make our house too pet friendly. I am also allergic to both cats and dogs (not a bad allergy, but one nonetheless).
What kind of things do your kids want as pets? What do you have as a pet?
