Mrs F's Voter Appreciation Giveaway!!!!

The Polls Are NOT Closed. So please continue to cast your votes today.

If you have faithfully voted everyday be sure to give me a comment so that I can put your name in the drawing. If you were able to vote more than once a day let me know and you will get an entry for each of your extra daily votes. I'll be announcing the winner Thursday AM to give everyone a chance to get their name submitted.

Thank You

I just wanted to formally thank everyone who has been reading and commenting and thinking of me during these last few miserable days. I'm sorry if I didn't comment back to you directly. I did get everyone's comments and REALLY they all have helped me tremendously. I don't know what I did to get such a great group of readers but I am so thankful for you all... on a good day... let alone how supportive and wonderful you have all been this weekend. I have a very hard time being vulnerable and asking for help (which is clearly how I got in this mess to being with) and so it is not very often that I allow myself the opportunity to be supported or even trust that I will be. As many days as I question how much time I spend blogging... and try to justify or rationalize how much better I feel about myself for doing so versus how many times I tell Kid to "hold on just a minute I need to answer these questions"... I never could have imagined how powerful and real the connections I have made here would really be. Friday night was literally one of my lowest points. Had I been dealing with that alone I can only imagine it might have become unbearably low. But thanks to all of you I wasn't. I may have been locked in my bathroom screaming my lungs out... but I was not alone in there. So I thank you. Really, really, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am doing much better and will hopefully be posting some video of me doing something completely asinine to prove it.

Happy Thanksgiving

Well today being Thanksgiving and all I thought I'd share a few things that I'm thankful for this year.

I'm thankful for this crazy crew...
Here they are in all their breakfast eating glory.. yes Canine Furious likes to pull up a chair his own self... he's part Bichon part Badass so what do you expect?!

I'm also thankful that I married a man who appreciates a nice table top..
and we were both pleased with this place setting... and ...NO... he says he isn't a closeted gay man just a designer...but thanks for asking!

In all seriousness (not that I'm not serious about Mr F loving the tablescape... I AM!) I am of course very thankful that both my girls are healthy, that Kid is seizure free, and that she takes her medicine like a champ (no more marshmallow rewards needed).

I am also so very thankful to all my readers. This blogging thing has been the most incredible experience. I feel so validated and supported and just plain liked (by adults even!) that I cannot even begin to express my gratitude. I appreciate all of you and have so loved getting to know you and having you in my life. I really do feel that I have made "real" friendships. Thank you!

This Is The Last Time... I Swear

Today is it... this is your last chance to place a vote for dear old me.

I would like to say that although I'm fighting for 6th place... the amount of votes I have received after blogging for a little over three months is amazing and I am truly grateful to all of you... especially those of you have found a way to vote for me more than once a day!

And a big thanks to Mr Furious who originally nominated me for the weblog award and has shamelessly plugged me all over the blogosphere!
