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?

I do like being at home. However, I did truly enjoy myself at the Pampers Mommy Blogger Event. Over the next couple days, I hope to be able to write about all I learned about diapers, pampers, and unicef. I remember again why I hate flying though. Actually, I hate little planes. During takeoff, I feel like a couple of corsets are wrapped around my ribs and then squeezed.  I guess I could call it a minipanic attack.  However, once we land or take off I am fine.  If I am in a bigger plane, I don’t have that issue either.  I know last night I was missing my huge comfy king bed at the Westin.  I walked around in my new slippers that I got (and they are awesome!), but it just isn’t the same.

I love getting off a plane and being greeted with a sign. It makes me feel, well, important. This is day one of the Pampers Mommy Bloggers Event. I just got to Cincinnati, and its just as hot and miserable here as it is in Chicago. However, I am in an awesome hotel. I can’t wait to sleep, alone, in my king size bed.  I think it even has a down comforter.   Yes, it is the little things that make me happy.  I have to say I was happily surprised with the little gift packs they had awaiting us in our rooms.  Lets see, there’s toothbrush, Secret, Olay, Water, sleep mask, loofah, and some awesome slippers that I can’t wait to try on tonight!  I have about ten minutes before I have to leave to go take my tour of P & G (that’s who makes Pampers!).  I guess this is a tour that journalists don’t even get to go on.  After that, we are going to dinner in Kentucky!  I can’t wait.  I have to remember that I don’t have to inhale my food since the kids aren’t here.  That’s what they have planned so far for day 1 for us.  Tomorrow, we will be conferences all day, so I am pretty sure I won’t have much time for blogging.  However, I am hoping to get a couple pictures tonight, so you can see what awesome company I am with.  Well, I have to head off for my tour so talk to you all later!
