Time To Rant
So I decided to rant a bit this week throughout my blog for Momaha. It’s the perfect summation of my opinions on this whole “mommy war” culture that social networking and blogging has aided in our age.
Check it out and feel free to share your comments. Bloggers ADORE comments you know:)
My Business
Friends and Family:
I finally have some logo choices for my business! It is really starting to come together. I am now working with 2 large clients and 2 small clients. The perfect meld of marketing development, appointment setting, sales training…I’m doing it all and loving it!
I’d LOVE and greatly appreciate your feedback on these 2 logos.
Also, if you aren’t already you can follow my biz on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sarah-Tucker-Marketing/190978538348 Spread the word to any small business owners that I could potentially help!!!
The Great Sweater Fight
Last week Trendon and I were poised in a sweater war…
I thought I should receive a “step-momma of the year award” for this great discovery. Cute, cute clothes. Perfect size. No more sleeves that are 2 inches too short, no more belly showing when he lifts his arms.
Boy, was I wrong.
Here is a photo of the sweater in question:
Cute, right? I LOVED it and never thought twice that Trendon would feel disgust just by looking at it! He was so appalled that he started crying immediately!?! Then I left the room, assuming he would get dressed. I came back to find him standing in the middle of his room, no shirt on, and no sweater in hand. He had quickly thrown it up into the top of his closet hoping I’d forget about it!!!! I asked him where the sweater was and he threw the “I don’t know look.” This, at our house, is comparable to lying. So unfortunately, it’s now a he-can’t-win-at-this-game scenario.
We called Daddy for reinforcement. Daddy says, absolutely he has to wear the sweater now that there has been deceit.
Trendon is enraged but promises to get dressed.
He emerges from his room looking like the dough-boy 15 minutes later!! He put a think polo under AND over top of the sweater!!!
“It’s on!” he smirks.
Ok, Ok I get it. He hates the sweater. I send him to school ticked off and mad at me. Didn’t feel like a huge win for the step-momma at that point.:(
That afternoon, all if forgiven and forgotten when I tell Trendon I’ll give the sweater away to another boy who will enjoy it.
Imagine my surprise this morning when he emerges from his room in this:
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!
Someone explain this to me. This sweater is SUPER cool but the dog sweater is horrendous?
Ah, the joys of mothering a boy. I need some super sonic powers to figure out this kid’s sense of fashion….or perhaps a trip to the mall together will suffice. 🙂
Igniting a Debate
Not typically my forte – but I forced myself out of my comfort zone and shared my parenting philosophy on the Momaha blog this week. I have caught some heat from the comments already. Please feel free to share your opinions. http://www.momaha.com/article/20100129/MOMS02/100129496/-1/moms
