Mommy Bloggers

I saw on the news the other day an interesting piece on a mommy blogger in Utah...I think that the news anchor said that the mommy blogger was in Salt Lake City...I was going to remember that website...oh well at 34 (that 35th doesn't come until December!) the remembering thing is not that great! Tim was going to surf the channels, but I won. I wanted to see if this story was going to be one the blogs that I like to read...it was not one of mine... Anyway, this woman makes a killer $40,000 per month off of her blog and she is only 32 years old. I've decided I've got the WRONG job! I need to figure out how to make this blog pay me!

My blogger friend in Utah sent me the website I meant to remember. http://www.dooce.com/

I missed the first part of the story on the the news the other night, this means I missed the most important part! She is from MEMPHIS, a true southern gal! Graduated from Bartlett High School! OMG I wonder does she miss Memphis and all its wonderful rich culture. All the homies shooting homies...Mayor Willie

In other unrelated news...
Mary Margaret, 13 year old Drama Queen, has decided we will be speaking TEXT instead of ENGLISH at our home! OMG, IDK, TTYL, LOL, CM, BFFF I told her last night, if I hear IDK one more time I was going to BYB. (does not stand for Bring Your Beer).

Mary Margaret decided on her own to join the Bible Club at school...I took her to school early today for her first and last meeting. (She waited a little too long to join) She will at least get to find out if she will like it.

I had a meeting yesterday at the Intermediate School to go over Taylor's Education Plan, and she has improved leaps and bounds over last year. She was tested Friday (before she got her glasses) in Reading...each test was 10 points and she could only miss 3....she missed 7, 8, 5 which got her a low reading grade. Monday she was tested (we now have glasses) in spelling, word recognition, and math...spelling and word recognition 6th grade level and math a 5th grade level. I believe that her struggle all year has been her eyes.

The count down to summer has begun at our house. I know that you all are on pins and needles waiting to find out what I have scheduled for the Teenage Drama Queen and Sister Whines Alot (my new nick name for Taylor). Last summer, the comment was made that we tried to set a Vacation Bible School attendance record...ha ha, we only missed the First United Methodist and the Presbyterian (we skipped those two, although, we did attend McElrory Methodist because of MM's BFF). My thoughts were this, my kids have to be baby-sat during the day because I work...why not have a little fun that is good, clean fun?

This summer will be a little different...Mary Margaret is too old for Vacation Bible School. So far, they have signed up for the Summer Basket Ball Camp (1 week 1st of June). Taylor signed up for poetry camp at the Library...we haven't found out if she was accepted, they take the first 25 from each grade. I'm sure they will participate in the Summer Reading at the Library and they both want to continue piano. Maybe they will get to go to the Cabin with their grandparents and of course we will have a vacation...don't know where yet, but I AM LEAVING TOWN FOR ONE SOLID WEEK, 7 DAYS.

Oh, I'm getting a pool...so maybe they can stay home a very tiny tiny bit this summer during the day.
