Just a Queen of Three

Sweet little girls, baubles and pearls...

2010-04-24T16:05:00.000-07:00

...That is what Stella & Dot is made of. We all were little girls at one time and remember how we loved to put on dresses and jewels. Well, now we can share that with Moms across the country for daughters, nieces, granddaughters, goddaughters and friends. Stella & Dot has introduced the cutest accessories for those frilly princesses! With so many ideas for themed dress-up parties for not only the girls, but the Moms too! We also have the Mommy & Me so you can have the jewels your favorite little girl does too! Plus, I'm sure you will see something that catches your eye that you just can't live without for that perfect Spring or Summer wardrobe.

LET'S PLAY BOW WOW TRIVIA

2010-04-21T12:20:00.000-07:00

Mimi Ausland, a 12 year old girl from Bend, Oregon, wanted to help feed the hungry animals at her local animal shelter. "There are 10's of thousands of dogs and cats in animal shelters across the country, all needing to be fed a good meal." Say hello to freekibble.com and freekibblekat.com! Freekibble.com's primary mission is to provide good, healthy food to dogs and cats to those shelters who are working so hard to see that none of them go hungry - they need our help. In addition to providing free kibble to the Humane Society of Central Oregon, we've added 13 new shelters to the program (from Oregon to Florida!) and plan to expand the program to many more! Thanks to everyone for supporting freekibble by playing the trivia game - every piece of kibble counts! We're very happy to say that we're partnering with our Founding Sponsor Castor & Pollux, as well asCanidae Dog Food to feed these hungry dogs and cats a very high quality, all natural kibble - a very decent dinner! Thank you Castor & Pollux and Canidae Dog Food!

We also want to make it easy and fun for you to help provide free kibble by playing Bow-Wow Trivia - and we hope you learn a few interesting things about dogs and cats along the way. Go to the website and play - everytime you play - food is donated to needy animal shelters! Thanks and enjoy!

She said what? Shauna Glenn Rocks!

2010-04-08T07:29:00.000-07:00

Over the years I’ve learned some things from my teenagers. Besides being extremely annoying and narcissistic, they’re also acutely aware of how things “make them feel.”

Major eye roll.
I’m not sure if this holds true with teenage boys–I have the distinct pleasure of having teenage daughters. By the time my 4th child (and only boy) is a teenager I’m sure things will be completely different for him. For one, I will be so old and beat down from dealing with girls that his life will probably read like something out of an article in Maxim magazine. I’ll encourage him to be a UFC fighter, buy him a motorcycle, and hand him the keys to the liquor cabinet. Because really? Will I even fucking *care* at that point? I’m thinking if I’m not in a padded room eating styrofoam dinosaur shapes and talking to my imaginary half man/half unicorn friend Zenith, my life will be considered a win. I said IF. Some days I’m not so sure I will make it. Because I’ve already started talking to myself. And I swat at bugs that aren’t there. And some days I even have the urge to bite my own shoulder. Is this normal? Teenage girls keep you on your toes. Their mood can change so quickly that if you’re not ready for the extreme shift from happy to psychotic you can get whiplash. Might I even suggest you keep a neck brace under the bathroom cabinet just in case. Or just wear it all the time. That’s what I’ve started doing. Plus it makes them crazy. “OH MY GOD MOM, you’re not going to wear that neck brace to my track meet ARE YOU?”   Why yes, I think I will. Lately, I’ve experienced what I like to call the I’m Afraid To Go To Sleep For Fear Of Being Stabbed In The Throat syndrome. That’s not the official medical term for the disease but if you Google it, you will find that I’m Afraid To Go To Sleep For Fear Of Being Stabbed In The Throat (or IATGTSFFOBSITT as it’s more commonly known) is also Webster’s definition of the word TEENAGER. Coincidence? I think not. Here is just one example of what my life is like with THEM.
“Mom, I need to go get makeup.” “Fine. We’ll go to Walgreens after school.”
“WALGREENS? I need GOOD makeup.”“Do you have any money to buy *good* makeup?”
“WHAT? You’re not going to pay for it?”    “Um. No.”
“GAAAAAH. But you’re the MOM. You’re supposed to pay for my stuff.” “How old are you again?”
“Sixteen.”     “You should really get a job.”
Head spins completely around. “I don’t have time to get a job.”
“Because you’re so busy texting your friends?”      “Whatever, Shauna.”
“Since when do you call me Shauna?”    “God Mom. You’re so annoying.”
“Yes. But I have good makeup and you don’t.”
“I hate my life.”
“Yeah? Well join the club.”
“I want a different family.”
“Can I help you pack your bag?”

Makes a loud moaning sound and then slams bedroom door. I swat at the fly buzzing around me and then walk to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for my friend, Zenith. He’s the only one who really understands me.
