Three P's in a Pod: 500th Post Giveaway - What DO Mom's Think??
26 May 2008
500th Post Giveaway - What DO Mom's Think??
Isn't this picture just too much? It was from Chinese New Year. One of the nice Dad's took pictures for everyone and I am so stunned at how well ours turned out!

P1 is finishing up her last week of school as a Kindergartener...so hard to believe! P3 has been a bit of a pistol lately but so far today she has been great and I am so grateful! P2 is back to her precious self again since her ear infections cleared up. She had a fun sleep-over Sunday night at her Grammies and thought it was the Best!

Me, I have all sorts of irons in the fire as usual - several appointments this week including having the A/C guy come up to make sure everything is A-OK with my A/C for the wonderful Summer ahead. Thursday night is Girl's Night Out with the Church girls so I am looking forward to that! In between it's laundry, getting everything ready for the big girls to go to camp next week (more on that later) and get my many packages shipped out - so if I owe you a package, never fear! The will go THIS week! I am getting a small grip on things, little by little. Of course, here in my bloggy world, it is a very auspicious occasion - This Is My 500th Post!! And in honor of that, we must celebrate and have a giveaway!

So on to the GIVEAWAY!! I saw this on a friend's blog and thought it looked like a great idea but I know that not all of my readers are Moms at this time in their lives and I would never want to exclude y'all so here is the deal:

How to Play: Answer the questions below accurately if you are a Mom or how you THINK it would be if you were a Mom...and yes, you are free to make us all laugh! ;) Post your answers on your blog and then sign the Mr Linky with the link to your post. No Blog? No problem! Email your answers to me (knowing that I may post them here on my blog) at 3girlzmama at gmail dot com then sign the Mr Linky below with your name. Sorry but this one has to be US only.

The Prize: Because you all make me feel good by coming by to visit, I want to return the favor with something else that makes me feel good - A Cherry Blossom beauty basket from Bath and Body Works filled with some of my pampering favorites. Includes 2 oz. Shower Gel, 2 oz. Body Lotion, 2 oz. Body Splash and .05 Liplicious Lip Gloss in Watermelon Sorbet.

The Giveaway Closes: Friday, June 6th at Midnight CST.

After the Giveaway: I will randomly select a winner and announce it here on the blog as well as email the winner. If I have no reply within 7 days, an alternate winner will be selected.

MOM Tag

1. Typically, what time do you wake up?

6:00 and tragically with little real sleep since the hubby is trying out for the Olympics in the snoring competition

2. On a good night, what time are your kids in bed?

From what they tell me anywhere from 12 pm to 2 am but they have been known to tell stories. Hell Stress 1 has more stories than Walt Disney himself.

3. How long have you been a mommy?

23 years

4. How old were you when you became a mom?

Entirely too young at 18

5. What is your favorite kids T.V. show?

Ah - that's tricky, but I do love Mr. Spongebob Squarepants and his gang of maurauders

6. What is your least favorite kids T.V. show?

That Yu-gi-oh (sp?) stuff-kinda grates on me a little but hey I'm 41-I should stop watching tv kids shows anyway

7. What is your favorite chore?

Are you delusional? Have you been drinking - even a little? I guess dishes since my dishwasher does all the work.

8. What is your favorite meal to cook?

Crusted chicken roll ups stuffed with cream cheese, garlic and scallions (oh yeah - they are fried and they rock!)

9. What is your least favorite meal to cook?

The same chicken cause great googly moogly it makes a crazy mess.

10. What is your kids favorite meal?

Stress 1 likes chicken cooked any way and Stress 2 likes red meat any way

11. What is your favorite thing your husband does with your kids?

Golf - I love that they bond over such a ridiculous "sport" (IMHO)


12. What are 5 things that make you smile when you are being a mom?

Hugging them, smooching them, hanging out with them, embarassing them which is usually done by any of the above and admiring the man one of them has become.

13. If you could take your kids anywhere, where would it be?

Stress 1 to Family Court to handle the whole freakin dead beat dad thing (long story) and Stress 2 to a Red Sox home game cause he is missing it awful.

14. When was the last time you went out without your kids?

Well we usually stay in and Stress 2 likes to have us over for dinner with his fiance (yes, fiance - can you even stand it)


15. What is your favorite pastime/activity to do with your kids?

We love to get together esp during Memorial Day and play softball. I have the scars/bruises to prove it mister

16. Name one thing you said you would never say as a mother.

As long as you live under my roof.
Because I said so.
Don't answer me in that tone of voice.
I don't care what all the other kids are doing, if they all jump off a bridge would you.

Oh sorry, you said 1.

17. Name something you do, that your mom did.

I said all of the above.

18. What is your favorite quality your mom has?

My love of taking care of other people

19. What is your favorite kids book?

Oh boy! I say ... gosh it has been a long time. The Pokey Puppy - that is a classic

20. What is your favorite advice for new moms?

It gets better / It goes by so fast
Sleep when the baby sleeps

21. What is your most heartbreaking moment as a mom?

When Stress 2 was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis (he was 3), I thought my world would end...

22. What is your most joyful moment being a mom?

I cannot narrow that down. Giving birth to both, watching them grow and my heart swelled with each first. Being in the room for the birth of my grand daughter. I have had lots of joyful moments.



23. When was the last time you told one of your kids you loved them?

Monday was the last time I spoke to one of them and it was Stress 2 - but I say it every single time I speak to them without exception .

24. When was the last time you were told?

Every time I see them. It's spoken often.
