Mama of 2 P's in a Pod

Kris is in Colorado this week for the IAFF Memorial, for Fallen Firefighters. Thankfully this year, Topeka doesn't have any names to add to the wall, but sadly there will always be someone's name to add! He took along Big P's Spongebob toy and has taken some pictures of Spongebob's adventures while there. One on top of Pike's Peak and even one at the Colorado Avalanche vs. Dallas Stars game. I have to admit, I'm a little jealous I'm not there right now but there will be next year. The P's and I are enjoying some mommy and P's time. I had lunch with Big P at school today and have been spending some time one-on-one in the afternoons with Little P. Tomorrow, I am attempting my first garage sale, I know I'm probably a little crazy for that one but we really need to de-clutter! I sent in my short story for the Good Housekeeping contest. I would love to get their feedback at least, even if I don't place. Jodi Picoult is a guest judge, just to know

I am not even sure if trudging is a word but hey it works today! I am doing just that, moving along and getting things done. I have few interviews coming up so that gives me some hope. Plus, I have applied EVERYWHERE so I'm hoping that out of the 20+ jobs I've applied for, that I will hear back from about 10? There is one job in particular that would allow me to use my media background and be home to get Big P off the bus. Keeping my fingers crossed for that one. Kris and I started working on getting Little P to bed hardcore this week. We are taking the Super Nanny approach, where we just keep putting her back in and telling her "It's time for bed, goodnight". We don't engage, we don't do anything but place her back in bed. The first night, it took 45 minutes, the second night, 30 and tonight I'm on my own. Wish me luck! Big P is doing great in school, but is sad because she can't seem to make friends she says. I doubt that, because she was invited

I have two sleeping beauties in our house tonight. They are both sound asleep which is a good thing, I know. But their mommy is not, which is not a good thing. I pulled out the laptop in hopes I could channel some of this insomnia into my writing projects, but nothing has happened yet, so I turned to the sometimes easier project, my blog. Which I seriously doubt anyone reads, I mean I never see many numbers jump on my little counter thingy. So I am probably writing to the cyber streams and no one else. Oh well, I guess getting it out of my brain may help me sleep right? Ok now the writer's block has hit here too. Hmm.... Had some funny things with the P's this weekend. Little P decided to comb her hair with a fork, she wanted to be the Little Mermaid. I told her she was not, and she took it pretty well. Later that day, she decided to climb our furniture like a trapeze artist, I informed her that was not a good idea either. For that she just stood on the top of the couch, looked
