Unfortunately ours was because someone is able to farm goats in city limits thanks to our fair city's grandfather's laws. Cheryl Hines has nothing on me!<BR/><BR/>I will be talking about our slight kitchen remodel. The countertops and sink are being put in this weekend. The floor will happen in a few months. Stay tuned!Phillips Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477867770142061901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18214825.post-757306627554860472009-04-09T13:47:00.000-05:002009-04-09T13:47:00.000-05:00Two thoughts:Didn't you have a petting zoo in your...Two thoughts:<BR/><BR/>Didn't you have a petting zoo in your neighborhood a week or so ago?<BR/><BR/>And I recall a movie with a kid on his bike shouting, "I want my two dollars!!!!" If only he were on loan.<BR/><BR/>Oprah is so out of it these days, I've just given up.<BR/><BR/>As for being a mommy, I pray for God to cover the mistakes I make. Try as I may to not make any, it is an inevitability.<BR/><BR/>Great post:-)<BR/><BR/>P.S. Will you be posting here about your recent kitchen endeavor?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14111112794410833765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18214825.post-42731189979616415712009-04-08T14:26:00.000-05:002009-04-08T14:26:00.000-05:00Good post.

I didn't see that episode, but your blog made me think anyway. <BR/><BR/>I think we need to be authentic as moms and friends and women in Christ and not try so hard to be the "right" kind of anything. The truth is, we are going to screw up our children and they are going to spend their adulthood trying to get over it. We will do it out of love, of course, but it will be done!<BR/><BR/>As for the chicken nugget incident...it probably would have been one of my children stealing the nugget and I would have gladly given you another! :)Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06728752951347441758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18214825.post-30492705901572067482009-04-07T22:39:00.000-05:002009-04-07T22:39:00.000-05:00I caught that episode too.

I came away from it a little perplexed and a little sad just because so many of these moms have such high expectations on themselves, and why not when they show a birthday party like that thrown by a celeb who has a nanny for her only child?<BR/><BR/>I know that for me, motherhood is a blessing, and it was not a conscious choice that I made, but a situation that I ended up in and gladly took on. <BR/><BR/>I think the one thing I wish most of all is that more mothers would support each other....and if I lived closer to you, I would certainly hunt down that nugget stealer!

Sounds kind of psycho-babblish, but man oh man, did I realte to that.<BR/><BR/>It was cute with some funny stories. I'm an Oprah fan (gasp), and I just appreciated her continual declaration that it's the hardest job ever. Sometimes it's just goos to hear that.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987958098391604146noreply@blogger.com
