EEYORE FOR PRESIDENT

A friend nominated me for Bloggers Choice Awards - Best Parenting Blog.

Has she READ my blog?!?!?  It's all about how I've failed my child!  Ants in her pants, hellooooooo?

I said, "Why are you nominating me for stuff you know I'm not going to win?  It's just embarrassing."

Her response:  "Quit being an Eeyore!"

My reply:  "I LOVE EEYORE!!!"

Her:  "Kinda figured you would.  Thought you might relate to him…[and, in her best Eeyore voice - sadly lacking the unenthusiasm, by the way]…. 'ho hum, glad you noticed.'"

 

My mind immediately stopped running through all of the visions of my favorite Winnie the Pooh character - losing his tail, having a balloon strapped to his behind, losing at Pooh Sticks - and eeeeked to a halt.

Whoops.

I AM like Eeyore.  I DO expect the worst.  I am pessimistic and faithless and certainly never hopeful.  In fact, as a teenager, I used to brag that my motto is "expect the worst but hope for the best."  Never really mastered the second part.  Eventually gave up the motto and went on to "oh well, it coulda been worse...I guess."

So, with that in mind, and in a certain-to-be-unsuccessful attempt to change my motto to "ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN", I will say click the Bloggers Choice link on this page

And

VOTE FOR EEYORE FOR PRESIDENT!!

 

I mean...vote for my blog as the Best Parenting Blog.

Because, after all, being a parent is about making mistakes.  And getting up and fixing it.  Or at least trying.

And if you vote for this as the Best Parenting Blog, aren't you, in a way, voting for my kid as being the best?  :o)  I mean, I can't be the best parent if my kid is the WORST KID EVER!

So, yes, I will say this IS the best Parenting Blog!

CAUSE MY KID ROCKS!!

And then go to www.abbygailmiller.blogspot.com and vote for hers as the Best Humor Blog.  Cause it is HILARIOUS that she would nominate my blog for Best Parenting Blog!  :o)
