Who Doesn't Love a Party?

Well, what better way to get me back into blogging than a big ol' party! 5 Minutes for Moms is throwing a huge shindig! I can't even begin to imagine how many bloggers are going to participate. It's gonna be crazy! And guess what? I'm going to join in all the craziness!

A little bit about myself:

I'm Beth, better known around here as Freddie or Mom. Freddie- yep, that's what hubby has called me since before we started dating. Who the heck knows where it came from but I LOVE it! He hardly ever calls me "Beth". It's always Freddie or Baby Doll- which I love too. A little side story here- when youngest was in preschool-2 yr old class- his teachers were trying to help the kids learn their parents names so that if they were ever lost and someone asked what their parents names were they wouldn't just answer "Momma" or "Daddy". Well, DS knew his Dad's name but couldn't not think of mine. His teacher prompted him by asking, "well, what does your Daddy call your mom?" His answer "Baby Doll"! His teachers got a real kick out of that!

My sweetie and I will be married TWENTY years in August! How can that be! Really 20 years! Love him dearly and can not imagine my life without him. And I REALLY need to work harder at making sure he knows that!!

I'm mom to a two sporty boys- bet you never would have guessed from my blog name! They are 13 and 11! Life is getting very interesting around here! Not so sure I'm gonna like the teenage years. But I'll be honest- I'm so glad God gave me boys! Not sure I could handle a teenage daughter!

I'm a substitute teacher hoping to find full time/part time work in the school next year. I just recent finished a 6 wk sub job working with special needs preschoolers and as a shadow for a first grader who has autism. I believe I've found what I love doing!!

Well, that's a little about me. I'm hoping that this party and all the excitement will give me the kick I need to get back to posting here. I really do miss it! Looking forward to meeting lots of new folks! I hope you'll leave a comment! How about sharing your nickname if you have one! If not, just say hello!!

oh, and if you're interested- I've got a giveaway going on. Hope you'll check it out!



P.S. I'm gonna borrow a tip from my blogging buddy Robin and share it with you. There will be tons of links at the party-

whatever your number is when you register with Mr. Linky, let the last digit determine the blogs you visit (i.e., if your number is 124, visit all blogs whose Linky number ends in "4"). This is a small way more blogs might be visited--you won't be hitting the first 20 (or 100 or 1000!) and wearing out so soon!
