Post-It Note Tuesday

Here we go... my second week linking up to Post-It Note Tuesday and subsequently the last week it will be hosted over at Supah Mommy's blog.  No, the two probably aren't linked, but hey, I like the word subsequently.    Anyway, PINT will continue, just not on Supah's blog.  Next week it will be somewhere else and you can count on me to tell you where it is!  Here's what I have to say today:

Post-It Note Tuesday

This is my first week linking up to Post-It Note Tuesday over at Supah Mommy.  What do you write?
As Supah says, 

Why bother spewing verbal vomit when you can sum it all up in one neat little post it note? 

They can be fun, lighthearted, notes to self, to do lists or just plain bitch notes left for others. Your choice. Get creative.

Letters of Intent 8/13/10

Dear Child,
I know you are 150% convinced that you have a brother and sister, but you don't.  It's cute to hear you talk with them on a regular basis, but they can't save you from taking your nap as you have requested.  Also, please stop telling people that you have a brother and sister; they are getting confused.

Much love,
The mother of an only child

Dear Child Who Is Not Napping,
Go to sleep.  You are tired. You will be cranky for the rest of the day if you don't sleep now.
{Oh, and Mommy needs you to nap so she can blog...}

Love,
Mommy who thinks it cute to listen to you over the monitor but would really just prefer you sleep

Dear Drivers on Post Rd,
Once again I feel the need to inform you that the speed limit is 55mph.  If you can't read the speed limit signs, you shouldn't be driving in the first place.  The next time I'm stuck behind you and you are only driving 35mph, I will sic my cranky, hasn't had a nap two year old on you.  There.  You've been warned.

Signed,
Just trying to drive the speed limit

Letters of Intent

It's time for Friday's Letters of Intent.  Have an issue that needs to be addressed?  Head over to Julie's and write your own letter!

Dear Drivers on Post Rd.,
It's been awhile since I've made this public service announcement, so here you go.  The speed limit on Post Rd. is 55, people. Fifty-five! Not 50, not 45, and God knows, it's not 35.  It's not even 35 when the school lights are flashing!!  Do us all a favor and actually drive the posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour so I don't have to drive Big Blue into your trunk.  None of us really want to have to call the police because I deliberately drove into the back of your car, do we?

Dealing with my road rage {but not well},
Sam

Dear MonkeyPants,
I'm glad you're feeling better.  I'm sorry you had a crummy week of feeling yucky but I'm glad I got to get extra snuggle time because of it.  Snaps to you for lowering the number of terrific two's tantrums in the last few weeks, too.  (Yes, I noticed.)
xoxo,
Mommy

Dear Musical Musings,
You've been missed.  I'm glad you got some away time with The Boy, but it made for a weak week of reading.  Now, spill your guts in your quite hilarious way.  (And is it time for Facebook Funnies yet? Those things are awesome!)
Still waiting to hear if you got your chargers,
s

That's it for today's letters. A little sappier than I usually like, but apparently I'm feeling nice today. Have a GREAT Friday everyone!

New Header

Well, what do  you know?  As soon as I asked for help, I figured out how to do it myself!  Apparently I just needed to be humbled in to asking for help and my brain figured it out.  What do you think about the new header? I like it!  I also have a new header and design over at the family blog, so take a look!

In Search of Design Help

Okay friends.  After 2+ years of the "I can figure it out on my own" blogging attitude, I'm ready for help.  I have a vision in my head for my blog (both this one and the *ahem* much neglected Family Blog) and I don't know how to make it happen.  I actually think at this point it may be time to {heaven forbid} pay someone to do it for me.  Thoughts? Comments? Wise cracks? Suggestions?

Throw 'em at me!

Lost in Bloggy World

I follow a good number of blogs.  By follow, I mean I have them in my Google Reader and every once in awhile remember that I'm supposed to look at it.  Now that's not entirely true for all of them, because some blogs I remember to look at regularly, but I'm not going to lie and say that it's that way for all of them.  For example, I have 294 posts in my Reader to take a gander at.  Guess what?  Not gonna happen.  I'll skim, but that's about it.

As with everything in life, I go through ups and downs with my reading {and apparently, writing, ahem} blog posts.  Most blogs I read are crafty blogs and I'm in need of some serious craft-spiration right now, but it seems to be eluding me.

I'm having some difficulties in balancing the many things I'd like to do in my life.  Don't get me wrong ~ I'm not in that out of control, how can I deal with everything in my life spin, in which I sometimes find myself ~ but I haven't found the right combo yet.  It'll come in time.  Anyway.... one of those things is crafting!  I want to craft, but I haven't balanced it yet.  I also haven't figured out what I want to craft.  SOOOOOO many ideas and I just don't have that push to start any of them.  As Bravo says, "Watch What Happens!"
