Interruption of regularly scheduled programming; Call to action for all of my fellow blogging divas

Dear Bloggy friends,
I need your help! I have issued this 1000 follower goal for myself  by my birthday..yep, this Saturday!! What was I thinking? I don't know. Obviously, my eyes were bigger than my stomach or something of the sort. I am currently 299 followers short. I need ideas. I need a little help from my fellow bloggy divas. You ladies are amazing and I know if anyone can help me rally 299 more followers in 3 days..its you group of ladies. You ladies know how to get a word out; Facebook, twitter,whatever. Y'all are social networking geniuses and I need your assistance in a big way. Don't let me be a failure..on my birthday, no less. If you have any ideas of what else I can do on my end, please let me know.Thanks ladies!
Truthful Mommy

Now on to our, Be A Better Me (You) Challenge -Day 22~ Be the You that you want your kids to remember. It's fairly simple, we all want to be shining examples of great humans for our children. Why not use that to be the best us we can be for us.When I think of how I want my children to remember me, I obviously want them to remember that I was a great Mommy but more importantly I want them to think I am an amazing woman. How awesome if our children look back on memories of us and think , " I want to be just like my Mom was. She was beautiful, passionate, successful, happy, she lived life to the fullest and she was who she wanted to be. She had no fear and no regrets" That's how I want to be remembered. I don't want to be remembered fondly as a door mat who was left lonely, clingy, and unfulfilled once my children grew up...but a great Mommy none the less. How do you want to be remembered? The nice lady, always wearing the yoga clothes and pony tail, but nice enough. Do you want to go through life with a thump or a bang? I want to be a loud thunderous bang.I want to leave an impression on the world. I want my children to look back on their mother and say, "My Mom was not perfect but she was effing awesome because she never gave up!"

A Birthday wish, Hopping, Fawking and More Fawking!

Happy Friday!Well, I am trying to make it a happy Friday! I awoke in a little bit of a funk, don't you hate when that happens? I should be ecstatic since the Big Guy will be here for dinner tonight and the girl will be out of school for the weekend. I think it may be the prospect of all of this housework that's got me in the dumps.I guess I better just pull up my big girl panties and get to it...just as soon as I'm done with this post.Hope you are all having a wondrous Friday and looking forward to an even more splendid weekend. Ok, lovely readers of mine, I have 1 week and a day before my birthday! If you've been following me already you know that I am desperately trying to reach a goal of 1000 blog followers by my birthday. It's my gift to myself! So, if you are not a certified follower please take the moment and click the Google Friend connect button in the sidebar. I would really appreciate it. Also, please share the blog with anyone you think might enjoy. Happy Friday!





1.   When I get a day to myself I like to...drink something warm, take a long, hot bath, lie in bed and watch veg movies ( like 80's veg out movies).Meander around the house and enjoy the silence...nap!OMG, doesn't that sound absolutely perfect. Hey anybody looking for a birthday present for Truthful Mommy..let's make that happen:)Hear me Mom? *wink *wink*

2.  High school was....filled with new experiences and great friends. I loved high school. They say life is high school.I agree. Life is pretty great for me...most days:) Not Monday or Tuesday of this week but usually!


3.  A little dream I have is to write for SheKnows,Babble, or contribute to a major paper. Oh yeah and to have 1000 + blog followers by next Saturday!


4.  A big dream I have is  to start with a column, evolve into a book, become an empire and to travel the entire world with the Big Guy and my girls. I want to be Queen of my Destiny and I want the journey to be glorious. Is that asking too much? I think not!


5.  If I could drive any car my pick would be  

I just think this SUV is sexy and sleek. I'd feel powerful and hot driving it around town...chauffeuring rug rats!LOL

 6.  A time that I felt really and truly beautiful was  the moment my husband told me that he loved me for the first time. We were home on break from school in the fall,back when we were both much younger and thinner, we were kissing and he pulled away and looked at me and whispered..I love you. I knew he meant it. We had been dating for a little over a month. He scared me. He shocked me. But I could see it all over his face...I was home and I have never felt so beautiful as I did in those few extremely unconditional moments.



7.  Tomorrow I will.... spend the day with the Big Guy and our girls ,hopefully,  not doing much of anything. I need a rest! Lots of relaxing and loving on one another and I am really hoping for a nap!
