Just doing a bit of clean up on my side bar.
Nothing against anyone over there, but I have deleted some links, and added some. The blogs I deleted never visit me anyway, and do not link to me either, so no love lost.
The new blogs are mommy blogs, new ones to me, and these mommy's have visited me and since I have visited them, I thought I would add them.
So, do go enjoy when you have a few spare moments.
Which leads me to a related topic.....meeting fellow bloggers.
I am NOT a hardcore blogger. And the thought of meeting other mommy bloggers seemed so remote that when I heard that other bloggers would set up these "meet-fests" I would smirk and shake my head.....I am so NOT a hardcore blogger!
And now I have been invited to meet a bunch of awesome Christian mommy bloggers in my hometown next month. I am really really nervous. Because I am super super shy around people I don't know. And I am trying desperately to "get to know" these 24 other women by reading their blogs....and I'm noticing that they all comment on each other's blogs all the time!! AACK!
I'm feeling a little out of the loop.
Anyhow, that's next month. I need to get through this month.
And, I almost didn't!
Here's that story. At my soccer game on Sunday, I got bit by a Black Widow spider.
Obviously, it's Wednesday, so I didn't die or anything. But isn't that crazy?? And boy, did it hurt. I didn't know what bit me, just that it hurt, and then I just kept running around trying play my game. We tied, no thanks to me or the torrential downpour, but my leg was starting to seize up by the time I got home. I called the doctor on call, who told me to go to the ER, but I figured since my heart had been pounding all during the game (due to me being out of shape) surely I would be dead by now if there had been a fatal dose of anything venomous in my system. So, I took some Benadryl and went to bed.
Three days later, and I finally get to the doctor, since now it's white on top, surrounded by red and starting to streak. My doctor says it definitely looks like a widow bite, and that I was lucky it was, and not a brown recluse spider bite....since those are really really nasty looking.
So, now I'm on Zyrtec, for the itching.
Any weird stories out there from you guys today?

geez. I'm glad you're still alive. My heart skipped a beat today when I called and your DH answered the phone, explaining, "you're sister just left to go to the doctor..."
I'm so glad you were able to finally get there!
And I owe you a phone call!
So sorry....I will call tonight, and if I forget, would you please call me?
Evenings are so hectic here....
:)

Nope, I think you win the prize.
Hope you are feeling better!
HEY! I found this cool mom in Atlanta. I hope she doesn't mind my pluggin her here, because I have yet to email her and tell her how much I luuuuuurve her blog. She's a Catholic Mommy of four BOYS and her address is testosterhome dot blogspot dot com. I luaghed, I cried, I read the WHOLE ting from start to yesterday. (It took me about a week.)
Love you. Glad you're okay. Wallace got neutered the other day, but other than that, nothing weird.
Yes....
I have read a bit of Rachel from time to time, thanks for reminding me!
I'll bookmark her in my own favorites, and maybe link to her as well!
Poor Wallace!
Hi, I'm a new mommy blogger and I'm eager to get to know others. I shied away from blogging for so long because it seemed like such a time waster. Now I'm doing it to stay in touch with my family and friends. I just don't have the time to call everyone.
Suzanne,
I have been checking your blog since Danielle mentioned it the other day. I really enjoy blogs like yours and Nutmeg's. Sometimes they give me a different perspective on my parenting struggles and sometimes they just help me understand that my kids are "normal".
Normal is just a setting on a dryer.
Heard that somewhere recently and it stuck.
Thanks again Mommy Bloggers, from all of us commenters and lurkers. And here's hoping that Wallace is an animal of some kind.
Hey Suzanne! I know you!
You are a TACky grad, one year behind me.....remember all of those crazy kitchen shifts?
Glad to read your blog and get updated on your life.... I'll be linking to you.
Hi to Jeremy!
OK, missed Danielle's entry about your blog....boy she blogs like crazy! (I rarely miss an entry!)
Yes, Wallace is a cat, my (only) nephew...(a-HEM)
;)
cmw,
I'm glad I can help. Since I've started, I've found blogging to be a great help for processing my own thoughts and feelings about family life and parenting. Glad to meet you.
Nutmeg,
I am a TAC grad and I do remember all those crazy kitchen shifts, but I don't know who you are. I guess you've got one up on me. In any case, I'm glad to meet you again.
I was a class ahead of you, dated my (now) husband for 4 years, and my name is contained in my user name here on my blog.....
ring a bell?
Suzanne,
If you look at Nutmeg's August archives and scroll all the way to the bottom you will see a picture of the whole gang. Some other pictures helped me identify her when I first found the blog. Those kiddos are unmistakenly yours Nutmeg (and the Canuck's)!
I'm on to you now, Nutmeg, and it's great to see you! Beautiful family!
