Procrastination at It’s Finest
Like the responsible parent I am, I’ve decided to wait until the last few hours before the government employee who is single-handily responsible for deciding on whether my husband and I are fit parents arrives at my house with her white gloves to start inspecting the premises, to actually get off my keister and start to clean.
I thrive under pressure. I have to sweep, mop, shove clothes under the bed, toys into closets and create a 12 page photo album (yep, pics of my family) all before the nice, underpaid-no-sense-of-humor-I’m-so-screwed lady arrives on my doorstep.
(I’m hoping the neighbor’s Rottweiler decides to stay home instead of perching his scary ass on my deck like my personal gargoyle because I forgot to warn her of his predilection for guarding my door instead of his owners abode.)
But before I start the mad scramble to get everything in order, like any good blogger, I had to check my email. And imagine my surprise when I discovered that I was nominated for not one, but two blogging awards.
Not that there is any hope in hell that I’d actually win either of these awards since only about a zillion people are in each category and I have NO votes, but still, it’s always nice that someone took the time to actually nominate me.
Every girl likes a little bling in the sidebar. I’ve needed a new button to post in my new digs. Now I have two.
Who needs to impress the uptight government employee who is responsible for my future family size and immediate mental health when I’ve got shiny buttons?
Pet them, they won’t bite.
But I may. (Ask Boo.)
***Oh, if you’re looking for a real post, try yesterday’s. My son may not be permanently scarred, but you can bet my lily white ass is.***

Congratulations!
When you give your acceptance speech, try to remember the little people, mmkay? Thank you very little.

Yeah, what the hell is up with Bloglines? Anyhow, I think you will rise fast and high in the standings in both categories. I will vote for you till I can vote no more.
Please do NOT equate that with a post that may or may not have appeared on my blog titled “Why I Vote for Sanjaya.” Totally different situation

Congratulations on the awards! Well deserved! As for the last post…I think the best part was hubby’s attempt to slowly continue while talking to the kid. Gotta love that approach! LOL
April 11th, 2007 at 2:10 pm
So…what happened with the government employee?
April 11th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
Congratulations on the nominations! Must be better than the “Kid’s Choice Awards” — I am so tired of hearing who got slimed already!
Also - hope the homestudy goes well, rottweiler and all!
April 11th, 2007 at 6:14 pm
You totally deserve both of those awards.
And your last post was hilarious. bigirl is going to therapy fershure. She caught us once (probably the last time we EVER had sex).
Good good good luck with the visit!
April 11th, 2007 at 7:22 pm
Ahh… a fellow procrastinator. Hope everything went well with the caseworker. Thinking about you and praying that everything’s a go!
April 11th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Wow! You still have sex? You totally are the hottest mommyblogger.
