Asking for your assistance

by

my purpose in writing this is to ask for guest posters once again.  I had some great guest posts last time and right now I am running the 12 Days of Christmas Give Away on Mom~E~Centric, Mom is Teaching and Education Uncensored.  So, if I don’t get anything extra besides the contest and the winners up on those blogs it would be ok, but I prefer content along with the opportunities to win.  And, you too can enter the contests and try to win.  There’s 4 chances on 3 blogs and with such a low readership that I have, winning should be fairly easy. 
But, that’s not why I am writing this, I tend to ramble, can you tell? Here’s what’s happened.  My aunt in Florida has cancer and is in the hospital.  My mom is leaving Monday morning going down there.  That means that I have to work AND entertain a 4 year old all next week and the next and probably all the way up til Wayne is off for Christmas.  ALONE!.  Next on the list is the fact that my cousin is getting married on Saturday afternoon.  And, I went to the rehearsal dinner tonight because my husband and I are doing the photography.  Well, while i was there…..like 5 minutes after I walked in the building….I was handed a piece of paper with the words "Director" written at the top.  She smiled that sweet smile and said, "can you do this too?"
And, I mean, it is just wrong to tell a bride-to-be no so…..I’ve got to prepare for shooting my first wedding, directing one of many weddings (but she is doing some funky stuff and I don’t know any of the grooms parents - and step mom doesn’t talk to real dad and brother doesn’t speak to someone) and I’ve agreed to do all that along while keeping up 10 blogs, keep up with a 4 year old and help decorate for this wedding on Friday night.  Did I mention our Christmas tree hasn’t been put up yet?

And, the straw that breaks the camel’s back here…………….I don’t have any clothes that fit me to wear to the wedding.  I am huge right now and I couldn’t get anything to fasten.  So, that means…I must go shopping sometime.  Yea right.  Add to that the fact that since I’m directing and Wayne and I are doing photos…..I’d like to wear pants and I’m going to ask the bride-to-be tomorrow about it, so we shall see.  However, she is not going down the aisle to the wedding march and she and the groom are walking out to "I’m a believer….and I saw her face…." which just totally cracked me up.

Now, since you’ve heard my sob story and you already know about the TMJ crap (which this expensive mouthpiece seems to have helped a lot) and you know that I’ve not had to take care of this particular 4 year old all day and night without any intervention from a grandmother since July…..oh please, just pray that he lives through it. 
Ok, so the topic of the guest post is……………….anything you want.  If you need a place to blast someone and don’t want to do it on your blog, I got room for you.  If you need to tell a sad story but don’t want all of your readers to know….I got room for you.  If you have a passion…homeschoolling, public schooling, pregnancy related, depression, anxiety, marriage…..you want a write about it…I got a place for you.
I"m going to close this email by begging….PLEASE!

    I wish I had time to help, but with me taking care of my sick mom I don’t have much time. That’s is one reason I subscribed to your feed on the give a way. If I find some time I will come back over to help!
    ((((HUGS to you)))!

    I honestly don’t know how you do it. I run two blogs and occasionally update my personal one… but that’s all I can manage. It’s amazing what you do.

    Unfortunately, I’m running hither and yon this time of year as well, so I don’t think I’ll be much help. Sorry.

    In fact, I’ll be taking a break from one of my blogs again in a week while I’m with my in-laws.
