Ok, sorry for the title.  I figure what’s the harm in a little poop reference among parents (even if your kids are of the feline/canine variety). Fortunately for all of us, this post really isn’t about poop.  It’s more of a purge of things swirling around in my head.  The title was almost “Blowing Bloggy Chunks”, but that really did make me want to hurl, so I went with the other end.

First of all, let me just say “WOW!  I LOVE MY BLOGGY FRIENDS!”  Seriously, I am so touched that so many of you have left such sweet comments on my last post.  I’ve even gotten an email or two.  I am so encouraged by your words.  I am so relieved that I’m not alone in feeling the way I do.  I plan on responding to every one of them.  The only reason I haven’t yet is that some of them made me a little weepy and I tend to get all sappy-rambley when I respond to those.  I do promise to keep the bloggy-whining to a minimum in the future, though.

I’ve been quite busy trying to tidy up and pretty up the blog.  My blogroll is screwy due to the Wordpress update that HH installed a couple of months back. So you’ll notice that it will disappear and reappear as I play with it. So, if you’ve got a button for your blog, let me know so I can add it.  I’ve already added a few of the blogs I love, if you’d care to check them out!

You’ll also notice some new buttons to the far right.  Boomama is hosting another Christmas Tour of Homes.  Our decorating will be very minimal this year, but I plan on showing you our tree!  Also, it’s time for 5 Minutes for Mom’s Christmas Giveaways!  There are some great prizes up for grabs already.  And finally, I’ve joined the Soles4Souls 50,000 Pairs in 50 Days Challenge.  For as little as $5, you can help too!  I can’t think of anything more rewarding that giving God’s blessing of SHOES to those in need!  Click on the button (far right corner) to help out!

Also, I’ve got a couple of reviews and a couple of giveaways coming up!  So stay tuned for that.

And if you did come here to read about poop, let me not disappoint…
Woggie has started announcing his twosies, with “I’m am poopin’.”  (As if the odd posture and grunting did not give it away.)  I realize that it’s quite the milestone for a toddler to be aware of this and even though I don’t think I’m quite ready to potty train him yet, I hate to miss the opportunity to open the potty discussion.  So, at his announcement, I ask “Would you like to poop in the potty?”  To which he responds, “No, I’m am like poopin’ in the living room.” What do you say to that?
