The Best and the Worst of Me
This week’s Monthly Mingle looks at what I would love to review, what animal I would be and both the best and worst of me;). Yes, I know. I need to find a new angle to film at. I need to play around and find a good spot to put my camera.
Another Year Ends
Today we had our last group meeting for MOPS. It is doubly sad. Not only is the year ended but so has NewCov MOPS (for now). There just isn’t a leadership team for next year and that is always a big sign that it may not be the Lord’s timing for a ministry. But we (both moms and kids) have built relationships with each other that will go on beyond any official group. And that is a blessing.
New Camera
So I have had the same digital camera for over 6 years. Needless to say, it was time for an upgrade. So today I went out and got a Canon PowerShot SX120IS
Stay tuned for more, better pictures!!!
Women in Computers
Before you all get the wrong idea, I am not a proponent of affirmative action or anything like that. But… It is great to see a gathering of this many software women! Soon I will write a post on women in software but today I just leave you with this!
A Little About My Mother’s Day
I am always torn about Mother’s Day. Of course, I want the big fancy Mother’s Day but in reality I think it is kind of dumb.
Did you know that Mother’s Day is supposedly the biggest restaurant day of the year? So is it a shock that I don’t want to go out with my 4 kids to crowded restaurant?
Then you get to all the super expensive gifts like spa trips, diamonds and more. Well, it is still my money too!!! If I won’t spend it on that every other day of the year why would I want NerdDad to spend it for Mother’s Day? All that said…
I am a spoiled girl! First off NerdDad got all the kids up and dressed for church. But I am super blessed because he usually does that;). Then when we got to church the boys got me this pretty corsage! The Fresno-Madera Right to Life sells them every year at church as a fundraiser and this is the first time one has been given to me! Isn’t it sweet?
After that we had a wonderfully layed back day! Fast food after church and then a delightful nap! I also got some gifts! I got my first coupon book from a kid! NerdPie gave me a wonderful collection of coupons for things like playroom cleanings, helping with her siblings and help cooking. I love the fact she gave me a coupon saying she would “help” with her older brother. NerdBug gave me a coupon for dinner but I am not sure what his plan is;). NerdDad got me a collection of movies with Hello Dolly, Pride & Prejudice, Annie and a few more. Then NerdDad made spaghetti for dinner and we started watching Hello Dolly!
Over all it was a wonderful and simple Mother’s Day!
Monday Mingle!
Here are the answers to this week’s Monday Mingle questions! Head over to Eighty MPH Mom for more!
The Simple Joys
For those of you who read my Making Money Keeping Money, you saw my post about last weekend’s Free Comic Book Day. Well, the whole NerdFamily went out and I think we did pretty well! Since this is aimed at getting kids to read, you don’t see a lot of the new more mature comic lines but that was fine with us. Our kids had a ball! They even got to see Darth Vadar and some Storm Troopers there! Of course NerdPud wouldn’t say anything to Darth but smiled and stared. Gotta love it!
Benefits of a Jungle
One of my kiddos came up to NerdDad with a little fuzzy bundle in his hands. At first NerdDad didn’t realized that it was a brand new (and we mean brand new) kitten. Apparently a neighborhood cat was in the wilds of our side yard having her babies. While we are not cat people, it just melted our heart. The mom was so skitish that she kept running off and leaving her babies. By the next day they were all gone but before they left the saucer of milk NerdDad set out was licked clean.
Monday Mingle!
This is my first try at any kind of vlogging. Hopefully next time it will come off a little better but I knew if I started redo’ing or editing I would never do it;). And yes, I am reading off my computer under the camera;). This is part of Eighty MPH Mom’s Monday Mingle!
