June 29, 2005 - 5:06 am

traci - I’m sure it will be a completely amazing adventure! As Nic always tells me when I’m about to do something I don’t feel comfortable with…”but the Hobbits never want to start out on their adventures either, but they always have a good time.” (Here’s hoping your mom doesn’t run into any Orcs.)

June 29, 2005 - 5:52 am

June 29, 2005 - 9:50 am

Hilary Erickson - GOOD LUCK MOM… I hear you on the shampoo, or the car insurance. Frankly, those are larger decisions.

June 29, 2005 - 10:09 am

Julie - Shannon, keep blogging your true feelings and you will have some FAB journalling for those FAB layouts that get 3 pages of praise (which I totally missed on 2peas because I was the “centre of my family’s universe” that day. LOL). The reason it is getting praise is because you put your true heart on your sleeve with that blog entry. It was what a lot of us feel but are too afraid to voice – we do feel invisible sometimes. We can relate. I commend you for your honesty. I’m working on mine

June 28, 2005 - 12:22 pm

Julia - “”some kind of if you missed it before don’t miss how fabulous I am…kind of post, ew”"

I think you should do it – then we can all write on there – “hey did you see that Shannon Montez, she thinks she is Suuum-thin!”

I didn’t even get to that lo till it was on page THREE of praise. Kind of proves that whole HOF thing wasn’t a mistake, right.

June 28, 2005 - 12:38 pm

Katrine - You deserve the three pages of praise. I was touched by your blog and then when I saw your LO in 2peas I was blown away. Your words were powerful because that is exactly how I feel and I’m sure a lot of women feel the same.

June 28, 2005 - 1:37 pm

Joanna Bolick - I love the pool photos! HOw fun!

June 28, 2005 - 1:57 pm

stephanie/pearose - Found your blog through tara’s and I must say that the page you posted on 2pease was most inspiring and so true to many of us! Rock on, girlfriend
And super cute pics of your kiddos enjoying summer!

June 28, 2005 - 2:41 pm

Michelle Adams - All I have to say is you deserved the praise! Adn thank god for swimming pools in the summer!

June 28, 2005 - 6:12 pm

Melissa - I completely missed it on 2peas… but I must say FOUR PAGES – Holy Crapola! The one time I hit 2 pages I thought I had won the lottery – and I don’t even play! LOL!

Isn’t summer just the greatest thing ever? We love it over here, too… keep enjoying yours!

June 28, 2005 - 6:45 pm

chris - just saw the “invisible” LO – very real – I think it is great!

can you please share how you have survived so far? I am on day two and while the early afternoon was great and fun – this afternoon was horrible – my 3yr old had a breakdown in the checkout lane -

June 28, 2005 - 7:35 pm

Julia - Update… you’re now on page FOUR! Cool.

June 28, 2005 - 10:18 pm

Renee - glad your summer is going smoothly guess I may need to jaunt over to the good ole Pea and see whats up with this page of yours

June 29, 2005 - 7:05 am

Amy B. - ah. summer. I love the no schedule thing. we make our own and it fits what we want to do not what we have to do.

btw, I am so glad to hear I’m not the only mother with unfinished homework guilt! LOL!

June 29, 2005 - 7:46 am

jamie - wish we were closer to hang.. we could survive together.

June 29, 2005 - 9:51 am

Hilary Erickson - Hey, that’s the same floaty we have for Spencer. Love it, love that you’re loving it. Just remember the sun screen young lady!

June 29, 2005 - 3:58 pm

Shelley - It deserved 5 pages of praise lady! Congrats and it is a truly amazing page. Wish you lived closer darn it! We could hang out this summer with the kiddies. I spent the day at the pool with the kids. And tomorrow it is suppose to be a scorcher as well.

Enjoy it!
