My daughter wont sleep in her new toddler bed for naps, but tonight we will see how it goes. <br /><br />Today's fresh paper is slightly different. I didn't keep this one going to the 100 posts, because I needed your thoughts on a recent Huffington Post article. So the fresh smell today is of a lovely almond soap that will hopefully wash my fustration away and leave me with a lovely relaxing sense of calm.

Instead of light fluffy pillows of potatoes that melt in your mouth (a la chef Anne Burrell), mine were dense lumps.

It's never a dull moment here. I was still very sick last night so I tried to put the kids to bed early. The baby obviously wanted nothing of it and started to climb her crib. The next thing I hear is s crash to the floor. As hysterical as I was I made my husband to rush us to the Emergency room. After waiting a full hour to be seen the doctor tells is she's fine. She must have fell on her behind & not her head. <br /><br />My husband then runs out to whatever store he could find a todddler bed. We finally get home & we needs to neighbor to come over after an hour to help us put it together. At 11:30 is when we all finally passed out w/the kids. With my baby girl in her first new princess pink toddler bed. <br /><br />I was thinking about how Kate broke down on the infamous Utah trip and how I had my own little meltown of my own last night. Kids can really overwhelm you sometimes to the point where letting it out us truly the only way to decompress. If your Kate Gosselin or Steven Slater sliding out of Jet Blue plane. We all go through it but thankfully it's not publically. <br /><br />FYI my daughter just LOVES her new bed.The Travel Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-87609051697347923472010-08-14T09:24:24.130-04:002010-08-14T09:24:24.130-04:00It's a great weekend here.

And this was in an area where there was valet parking at the mall!<br /><br />I've been saying since I moved back to NC, mothers Kate's age, dress pretty much like Kate does, wearing full makeup, hair done, nice clothes, and many wear heels to go to the supermarket! I've yet to see anybody drop off kids at school without looking as if they were headed to an office (yes, I mean the SAHMs.) You are so right about style of dress varying according to where you live.<br /><br />Imagine if you also had paparazzi following you all the time, just waiting to catch a "less than perfect day" shot etc.!!<br /><br />Perhaps too, this is why I keep suggesting that Jon NOT look like a raggamuffin all the time! When I see how he's dressed, I think, who the heck is going to hire somebody who looks like this? I'd enjoy sneaking ini and throwing away those ratty jeans, shorts, and flip flops.Unless, of course, he's trying to apply for jobs as a beach bum.LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-48785035954696993012010-08-13T14:45:56.520-04:002010-08-13T14:45:56.520-04:00Denise HOLY SMOKE!

Happy Friday the 13th!
...Good afternoon everyone! Happy Friday the 13th! <br /><br />I consider yesterday a dream. Today is my coming-out-of-my-coma day. I walked around in some kooky haze. Today the weather is beautiful, and I finally got to get out. This morning everyone was asking me if I was ok. I guess no one has seen a sick woman before? Or mabye I was not dressed up to go out.. but I guess shorts & a plain tshirt are not appropriate?<br /><br />I finally "got" why Kate always semms to go out now in heels and "dressed". Everyone criticizes her when shes out in sweats, then they attack her when shes dressed nice. After being looked at like I was gum on the bottom of a shoe I wondered why women get all dressed (some even in heels!) to take an art class with their kids.<br /><br />Why is that? I truly guess it depends on where you live, but I noticed today that stay-at-home moms here feel the need to dress up now for the most mundane things. I was actually embarassed I was made to feel like a shlep. Of course I took the baby for pizza afterwards and I bumed into 2 more moms all dressed up to go for PIZZA. <br /><br />Anyway, I guess my point is that people shouldn't attack Kate for wanting to look nice even at Target. I learned my lesson, and don't want to go out anymore unless my hair and makeup is perfect, and that Im dressed right. Because I ONLY b ump into people when I look like complete crap. <br /><br />Thanks for listeneing. ;)The Travel Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-68625065575465084142010-08-13T14:07:03.867-04:002010-08-13T14:07:03.867-04:00Thanks Linda.Thanks Linda.angelsmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17944466698011071592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-43844048346130737882010-08-13T13:54:58.149-04:002010-08-13T13:54:58.149-04:00Do you know what photos reveal?

I have the geotracking function turned off on my smartphone for my photos of my children, etc. This was something that photographers and techies knew but didn't say much about. Maybe we assumed (incorrectly) that everybody knew.<br /><br />If you don't know, then you will now. Unless disabled, smartphones (e.g. iPhones, etc) have GPS info embedded in the photo. If you upload the photo to a website, Facebook, Twitter, etc., then people can actually figure out via geotracking exactly where the photo was made. You can unknowingly give out info like where your home is located, your workplace, etc. So before you post those Facebook photos of your kids so grandmother can see them, you might want to think twice.<br /><br />Check this out:<br />http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Web-Photos-That-Reveal-nytimes-2375510549.html?x=0&.v=1LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-40158580869844490952010-08-13T13:44:13.708-04:002010-08-13T13:44:13.708-04:00angelsmama - I think it is a swim dress over a bat...angelsmama - I think it is a swim dress over a bathing suit.

By coincidence, I spoke with a friend this morning who still has a home there. According to Cheryl, whom I consider reliable, Kate & kids had been there since Saturday. There were no paparazzi until the day tripper made the photos and we're guessing sold the photos to Huffington Post. There were throngs of paparazzi who appeared on the ferry yesterday. Also, she said the film crew was just in the background, Kate and the big guy bodyguard were doing kite flying, then the crew moved in to get shots. Then when they stopped, the crew was talking to all and even playing with the kids. Cheryl had been lobbying for years to require accommodations on the island before you can get on the ferry; NC pretty much doesn't have private or restricted beaches so this issue hasn't flown. Even private resorts must allow beach access although sometimes this is kind of "hidden" so you have to know about it, but it's there. This is totally different from FL, for example, which has many private, restricted access beaches. At Bald Head you reach it by private boat but mostly by ferry. It is pretty much a quiet beach for folks who are trying to get away from crowds.LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-77438349566747169732010-08-13T09:56:51.849-04:002010-08-13T09:56:51.849-04:00Denise - They must have been listening to you!Denise - They must have been listening to you!LindaOriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772557080014239781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-79563117051597411582010-08-13T02:25:16.382-04:002010-08-13T02:25:16.382-04:00KITES!!

How I even was able to sleep that long is beyond me. I felt like I was drfeaming cause I heard a few screams from fighting kids but I was too tired to wake up. My husband did a great job giving the kids dinner & getting them to bed God bless. EXCEPT one of my kids took advantage of my coma and was up wayyy past bedtime. I won't hold that against him though.<br /><br />What I will hold against him though is that my place looks like a bomb hit it. I awoke to a Will Smith movie. Whichever one that was when he woke up in a city alone. Why is it that men can do everything right but perhaps straighten? <br /><br />I love griping in the evening. Other than that I feel better. Thank you for all the well wishes!The Travel Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.com
