The first award was given to me by Mom of The Perpetually Grounded. Her blog is funny, touching, and most of all, completely honest. I am honored to accept the award for Honest Scrap!
To accept this award you must list 10 honest things about yourself:
1. I love my two boys beyond description and never feel as if I'm "missing out" by not having girls. Besides, no one would guarantee I would have a girl so I stopped trying.
2. I am a lot like my mother...I tend to say things to my kids then think "Mom? Is that you?"
3. I live in New England and I seriously believe that I ended up here by mistake...I'm sure my ancestors are from a tropical place and somehow things went horribly wrong.
4. I wear sweatpants in public...not cute matchy track suits; elastic bottom sweatpants. My favorite pair has a huge hole in the upper inner thigh. Feel free to judge me, but I won't stop doing it!
5. I am deathly afraid of flying, and the fact that people on the "no fly list" are still able to board a plane isn't helping.
6. I've never had a nickname (that anyone has called me to my face anyway).
7. I've been on a diet for the past seven years...My youngest son is almost five and I still say the extra weight is because "I just had a baby".
8. I worry about my children to the point that it makes me physically ill sometimes (you would think that would help with #7, but not so much).
9. I love to watch sports and drink a nice cold beer (this may be why I'm OK with #1).
10. If I had the chance to live my life all over again I wouldn't change a thing!
Now, enough about me. Here are the two fellow bloggers I would like to nominate for this award:

Thanks so much!!! I'll get my post up in a few days.

Congrats on your awards! Isn't that fun!?! Oh, and I worry about my kids (and various other things) until I'm physically ill as well. Ugh!!
Thanks so much! It really is fun. It's all so new to me but I love it! I hear ya about worrying, I feel like it's all I do!
Woo WOo WAHOO!
Thanks for the nomination! I haven't seen this award--wow!
You know, I am afraid of flying too! I HATE airplanes. I would rather take the two weeks to cross the entire US to get to ANY destination with whiney and crying kids, than to board a plane and fly somewhere.
Why do they continue making movies with life-like plane crashes? That doesn't help the phobia either.
Thanks for the award!
Wonderful list and #10 the most important thing in life, me too. But my favorite is number 3. Now I know what happened. I've been craving New England most of my life and I've been stuck in this hot, palm treeish place. Obviously we were given to the wrong parents. My dad got all confused (by my mom)during WW2 and forgot to go back to Boston.
good job Mama, lots of awards!
I don't think I've ever had a nickname either-again not one that people told me about!
I think if I lived somewhere other than New England I would still complain, I definately love the changing seasons but prefer a frozen cocktail in the Carribean!
I hope my fear of flying doesn't effect my kids too much..they always ask when we can go on a plane!
Your taste in blogs is impecable! Thanks for the shout out!!!!
Anytime Mombshell! Love your blog!
watching sports with a nice cold beer would be fabulous on a white leather couch! :D
