Hoover stick vacuum
I never grew up is having some fabulous contest right now. I am foaming at some of the prizes. The one I am really liking is the Hoover Stick Vacuum. I have to be honest. I don't know what I like the most about it. These are the top features to me. It's cordless. That's right. I have a little guy who loves to pull cords out of the wall. Second best thing? Bag less. I hate having to buy bags. O.k. honest? I forget to buy bags a lot. Check out I never grew up and hoovers site. You better hurry contest ends today.
Day 28
I did it. I set a goal for myself this month. I had to write a post every day. It's not an extremely difficult thing to do. However in our house it's time consuming. I'm a mom to four kids. Three are teenagers who are involved in other things. A 21 month old boy who is a climber. I can't tell you how many times I have had to stop writing to get him down from something.This month decided sleeping wasn't his thing. There are days were writing a little post takes me over a hour. Would I do it again? Oh absolutely. When? I am not sure. My next challenge is getting back in shape. This one will be even tougher. Wish me luck!

Aloha Friday
It's that time once again over at Island life. This weeks question:
What is the weather where you live? We are usually cold this time of year. 30 degrees is usually the warmest we get. Today we had a really odd temperature day. It made it to the 60's. YES!!! Now that I had a day like that,I want more. Let the countdown begin. 3 weeks until the first day of Spring.

A whole lot of girls
Sunday we spent the whole day at school. Got your attention didn't it? Princess had a cheer competition. Have you ever been to one? They are long and intense. These girls work for hours per day for months for 3 minutes of dance. Crazy. My daughter is the craziest one on the team. She is a flyer. Yep. The one who gets basket tossed in the air. I have to tell you I can't watch. I get so nervous. She has fallen many times. Actually she has been dropped many times. She has had many back and leg injures. Many trips to the emergency room. Every year I hope she picks another sport and every year it's this one. She has been a cheer leader since the 1st grade and is now in 11th grade. I really admire her strength and determination. I would have given up years ago. We just have a few more and the season is done and mom can relax again.

Not Me Monday
It's Monday. You know what that means. Time for another MckMama Not Me Monday. Time to tell me all the things you would never do.
I would never go (out of my way) to Starbucks just so my son could have a chocolate milk. My son would never know what a Starbucks is or whine every time he sees one. It would mean he has been to one many times. Not Me.
I certainly wouldn't be the type of person who would stalk Mckmama's website just to be the one who is her 4 millionth visitor. Not me. I also wouldn't be the type who would take a photo of her counter every time I visited that week. Not me.
I certainly wouldn't be the type of person who would make her hubby go out at 10:30 at night in 10 degree weather to pick their 14 year old daughter up at a school dance. If I did it wouldn't be because I didn't want to go out into the cold. Not Me!
So tell me what wouldn't you do?

Our first time out
I survived the night without Bubby. He is almost Two and never was with a sitter before. Actually the grandparents watched him but it was the first time. I never go anywhere without him. I know cut the apron strings. He apparently had a great time.
