30 Days of {Blank}

I was reading one of my favorite blogs Confessions of a Pioneer Woman in which she is talking about a very embarrassing moment. She links to another blog from the other woman's view at Mrs. Flinger Little Black Dress Edition when she mentions she is starting a 30 Days of {Blank}. At 704, it states that it takes 30 days for something to become a habit. Well, there are many habits I need to break, (e.g. diet coke, yelling at the kids, pets, my mom, junk food, etc.). So what will it be? I have until tomorrow to decide -- good time to start on August 1!

I'll let you know, plus next time I blog maybe I'll have some pictures of Juliana in her beautiful cast and tell you how she broke both bones in her forearm!

Water days

Juliana has acted like a fish ever since she figured out that I wasn't trying to kill her in the bath water. (Guess the orphanage didn't bathe the kids much.) She LOVES the water. She likes pools, sprinklers, the beach, and even muddy water under the swing set.


Ginny enjoys being in the water, but until recently, pitched a major fit if her face got wet. Heaven help me if her face got wet and there wasn't a towel around. Ever since we went to the beach in April, Ginny has decided that she loves water and isn't as upset if her face gets wet. In the tub last night she practiced putting her face in the water, blowing bubbles and not wiping her eyes with her hands when she came up.


Now if only I could get Ginny to go to sleep without me sitting on the bed beside her....

Not Me! Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

It has not been over 7 weeks since my last blog post and almost 5 months since my last Not Me! Monday! post.

There has not been anything for me to confess in those 5 months (I saw those eye rolls!).

I do not still finish food that my daughter leaves in the car after I drop her off at daycare in the morning. Actually it does depend on what it is.

We did not get another dog, saying that it is "Juliana's dog" and therefore her responsibility. I do not get up with the dog in the early hours and laying on the couch so that she will stop barking and not wake everyone else in the house. Sassy, the new dog, is not starting training today that will last for 3 weeks and is $1,300. I am not thankful that Mr. Moorefield is coming to our house to train her every weekday for 3 weeks. (Actually I'm very thankful and excited to try and get some management of the dog going! It's been a rough few weeks.)

I am not melting under this extended, horrible 90+ degree heat in Atlanta and go from AC to AC swearing about the weather. Not me!

I think I will stop there with my confessions! I could go on and on after a 5 month hiatus.
