What have I done?
I did 2 things yesterday that I’m feeling a little unsure of. No, neither involved Halloween candy…Sabrina had about 47 meltdowns yesterday afternoon and evening so even though I really needed chocolate last night, we didn’t take her trick or treating. I see you all out there shaking your heads, rolling your eyes, saying “Not the beautiful Miss Sabrina! She is always smiling!” Oh yeah? I’ve got proof:
I figured rather than dragging that attitude around, I could buy my own candy. But back to the 2 things I’ve done. The first one is this:
I gave into peer pressure (okay, no one said a word to me directly – but I know what you were thinking) and I signed up for NaBloPoMo. For those who aren’t aware, November is National Blog Posting Month (so they came up with that awkward acronym to stand for that – I would rather just say National Blog Posting Month personally but no one asked). Signing up simply means I’ve promised to post every day in November. I wasn’t going to sign up because I don’t want blogging to feel like an obligation. But I post almost daily anyway and if I don’t post everyday in November it isn’t like a group of angry blog monitors are going to come after me with rubber hoses, right? Right? Because I totally didn’t read the fine print.
The other thing? I’ve decided to sell out. You’ll soon see ads on my side bar. Feel free to ignore them or read through bloglines where you don’t have to see them at all. When I decided to get my own domain, we were hosting ourselves so it was practically free. Now we pay a hosting service. I may or may not make enough from the ads to pay for the hosting service – we’ll see how it goes. Just pretend they aren’t there when they show up.
I’m glad you posted that picture because I was starting to get The Bitterness over that always happy girl. Haha. My Reader is going to be positively BURSTING in November. YAY!!
Phew… at least she’s normal!
And ya gotta do what you gotta do to make some $$.
I’ll still read even with ads. Hosting does cost money so good for you for trying a way to support it. Sorry Sabrina had a rough day – IMHO she is still cute even when she is crying.
So sorry little girl is having an unhappy day ðŸ™
hopefully tomorrow is better (just go ahead and buy some chocolate!)
I didn’t know that about November. I post pretty much everyday also, just because I like to not because my life is particularly interesting or exciting :-).
A lot of people have ads to help pay for their blog.
Nice touch having her wear a “sunshine” bib while she is having a total meltdown. HA HA HA
I hate tough days. Reese has been having meltdowns a lot lately as well. Who knew terrible two’s started at 1? She looks pitiful in her high chair, I have a few of Reese having meltdowns as well.
The ads might be fun! Maybe I will find something cool! We all have to pay the bills, so don’t apologize.
Good luck posting every day. I’ll look forward to it!
I dont think Sabrina wanted liver and onions for dinner.
I also found it quite ironic that she has a Sunshine bib on with that meltdown!! 🙂 Love it!!!
We had one of those last night too…mine came from a 5 year old…He couldn’t get out fast enough..
She’s still tooo darn cute…tears and all 🙂
Rock on sistah sell out. Welcome to the crowd. Us girls with our own .coms have to pay for it somehow.
And NaBloPoMo…I did it too. Here it is day 1 and I’m so tired I can’t think of anything.
Where do I sign up? I’ve had blogger’s block and this might get my rear in gear!
That picture is CLASSIC! Although, I still might have made her go trick-or-treating… what I wouldn’t do for free chocolate!
She looked adorable in her Penn State costume… my in-laws just moved from State College about a year ago, so we’re big PennState fans! Go Sabrina!
Awwww…don’t cry, Sunshine.
Emma has been in rare form for the past couple of days too…was there a full moon or something? Golly.
God bless.
She is a doll even when having a meltdown 🙂
Isn’t it ironic that the bib she has on says “sunshine”? I am telling you…we called 5:00 at our house the ‘witching hour’ when K was little. I couldn’t do anything to get her calmed down.
Great blog. I look forward to reading it.
I say ROCK ON as well!
the chickenbus is pulling into the station but there are other tricks up this NotJustAMama’s sleeve which might just include ads.
I shall watch you and perhaps follow.
in 2010.
