A couple of my friends Asked if they could share some information on their winter holidays with my readers. Since I am sharing information on what I celebrate and know which is Christmas I felt there was nothing wrong with letting them share their traditions with us. I felt it would help get their believes and things out that they believe in and the way that things worked that is different then the way I do things.
Now that the new school year has begun, So has the a new focus on helping moms with mommyland. I have had to take a unwanted yet necessary break from the internet for family issues, however things are back to normal. If they ever are with 2 teens and a school aged, and a preschooler but for the most part they are and I am able to buckle down and get more accomplished again and focused.
Ever since I have been on the internet which has been about 8 years now I keep hearing about this great idea to have this gas out on a certain day the last few years it has been May 15th, every year I share the Snoops website stating it simply will not work its a good theory.
Here is the email I got this last night
Don’ t pump gas on may 15th
. ..in April 1997, there was a “gas out” conducted nationwide in
protest of gas prices.
Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon
overnight.
On May 15th 2008, all inter net users are to not go to a gas station
in
protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in
most places.
Wow I just looked at the calender and Mother’s Day is only 24 days to be exact. This year is really going by fast. Now days mother’s day is not only celebrated in the United States but by many countries not all on the same day but it the thought that counts. Most of these probably celebrate different, well I think most families in the States celebrate it in their own way. Some families pamper mom where others they go to a nice lunch then back to the day as usual. There is not a right way or a wrong way to celebrate I think as long as you are able to connect with your children is the key.
Around the internet lately I have come across many work at home moms helping their children create their own businesses. I think it is amazing what some of the ideas that children are able to come up with. A lot of times their ideas may blow our minds, my son has these amazing ideas on how to start and market a business. He has yet wanted to actually start. I have been letting him think and dream but after reading some of these success stories I am thinking that now is the time to start pushing them.
So this is a huge celebration for me. I survived spring break. Now don’t get me wrong I Love all four of my children and enjoy being around them. However Last week I had tooth pain which caused huge headaches, They were bickering all week, cold funky weather, and DH was working graves part of the week. So it was not a fun week that I had planned or hoped for.
