Proof of how boring I really am.

Mama's Losin' It

Since I love MamaKat I just can't stay away from her Writer's Workshop....

I had a hard time choosing a prompt...

1.) Write a mock interview with a celeb of your choosing. Take advantage of having the power to make it go however you dream.

I'm just not that clever.

2.) Describe your worst winter weather story.

I've lived in Az, Tn & Ca..I do not have any interesting winter weather stories.

3.) Tell us about that scar.

Again, I do not have any noticeable scars...even my stretchmarks are uninteresting...

4.) A list of dos and don’ts.

For me? my kids? my husband?? I need a little more info here. Do not post prompts without precise directions. I need blog for dummies. Do, however, follow my blog :)

5.) Write a poem to your love for Valentine’s Day. :)

I always seem to do the poems...but if I was to write a poem for my love on Valentine's Day I would have to keep it private ;)

So, you see my dilemma?? I did try though!

Writer's Workshop: I couldn't pick just one!

Mama's Losin' It
I'm going to try Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop.
We are asked to choose a prompt & post it on our blog.
The Prompts I chose:

2.) Explain a time there was an emergency. What “mode” did you go into? Freaking out, calm and collected, etc.
The biggest emergencies I have faced were results of something my daughter Lily has done.
Stitches twice and a concussion scare.
I'd have to say the first time I was a wreck. She was 2 years old and broke her sister's porcelain tea set. She cut her knee. I had to call Joey at work to come and take her (we only had 1 car at the time, Josiah was only about 5 months old and school was about to be out for kindergartener Alexis). Luckily Joey arrived within 10 minutes and took her in. It was very hard for me not to go with her.
The concussion scare was not too much later. She was standing in a wagon and Alexis pulled it. She fell onto concrete, with her head. She was acting very strange so we decided it was better to take her in and be safe. I tried to keep her awake, but she was pretty lathergic and passed out before we got to the hospital. I was scared, but I was on a mission to get her to the dr. They did not waste any time and got her in the back. They poked and prodded her and right before the doctor was about to try a more evasive technique she woke right up. It did not take long for her to be back to normal. But she sure gave us a scare.
The last emergency was December 25, 2008. Lily was playing on my mom's exercise bike. A bolt cover had been missing. As she was playing on it, she slipped and the bolt caught her leg. She was wearing tights and it still got in her. I was very calm and collected. We got her to urgent care ASAP and she got 6 stitches. Not a fun way to spend Christmas Day. She sure loved all the attention she got afterwards though!

4.) Write a poem about a moment you would like to relive.
A life inside
What a joyful ride
The first time I wanted to cry
A feeling, the flutter of a butterfly
Nothing can compare
Even those times I was scared
What a privilege
To help bring you into this world
A feeling like no other
To become a mother.
