Slightly Off-Balance

I mentioned last week that I will not be winning any Mother of the Year Awards, but YOU can (or you can nominate a mom).  I am announcing my Mom of the Year contest to recognize the crazy things you do as you struggle for balance!

But in the spirit of being Slightly Off-Balance, I am not looking for traditional stories of all organic food, no tv, no yelling (these are all amazing qualities, but I don’t want to feel bad about myself!)  You win with humor! 

Tell me a story about how you fed your kids McDonald’s for six straight meals or how you ate their cupcakes and told them they were stale.  The more off-balance and funny the better.  I will announce a winner next Monday, October 25th.

And what is the prize for being Slightly Off-Balance Mom of the Year?  The honor!  Bragging Rights!  In other words, it’s kind of like other aspects of parenting – they don’t hand out awards, but trust me I will say how awesome you are.  Isn’t that reward enough?  I know, but’s it’s all I got for the moment.

Okay, tell me why you’re Mom of the Year!

I am in New York for a wedding.  We just got back from the reception – it was a fully hosted bar, need I say more?!

It is 2:30 am and I just had a slice of New York pizza and I am heading to bed.  I just wanted you to know that I may not post for a couple of days, but check back soon!  I will provide details on my corner suite and more!

Yes, another post is in the works, it was a busy few days celebrating my daughter’s third birthday!
