Isn't she lovely....

Look what I've been given!

Isn't she lovely!?

In light of the recent revelation of my sinful ways it should come as no surprise to you that this is actually the third time I've been given this award. I was too lazy was too busy kept forgetting to post about it. I know... surprise surprise. Please keep in mind though that I'm the same woman who left my dear friend alone in a restaurant feeling like a stood up dork because I forgot to meet her for breakfast...ugh...I keep reliving that...

Colleen from Mommy's Always Right gave me this award back on June 24th and "said" these lovely words to me...."Mama Smurf at My Life - she started the Moments for Me Monday meme that gives me another reason to be good to myself once a week. I ♥ her for that!" And now I've fallen off the Moment for Me posts wagon because....well....it's becoming a chore....and in case you haven't heard, I don't like chores. You see...most of my Moments for me are spent doing the same things each week....scrapbooking, reading, running, blogging, going out with friends...I feel like It's becoming a chore trying to make the posts unique each week.

Then, on July 1st Tracey from Grace Comes By Hearing also gave me this lovely award. I kept thinking...ok...I HAVE to remember to post this now. But of course I didn't....the phone probably rang and distracted me...or maybe I was asked for the 253rd time that day to read my daughter the same "f"ing princess book....or maybe I had to break up another fight between my boys...or maybe (although highly unlikely) I was sitting back and adoringly watching my 3 children play together cooperatively and fell over in a state of shock. Dream on.

So just when I've convinced myself that I'm completely undeserving of the award anyway....I get a message from Rachel at Christians in Good Company telling me that she has given me an award. That same lovely lady award. Well I'm NOT forgetting to post it this time. I'm officially accepting this award....from all 3 of these wonderful bloggy friends.... (said with a curtsy and a single dropping tear of thanks). You guys RAWK!

So now I'm passing on this lovely lady to some of my own favorite bloggy friends.

Kate - Life As I Live It. You make me smile. You seem to always blog with a smile on your face and it's very uplifting.

Kristen - Jilli Java & the Garden of Eden. You're an inspiration. I love your posts and always look forward to your updates. And I've been patiently waiting for an update on your attic...eh-hem... =)

Brooke - Gat Clan Chronicles. She's new to blogging and deserves some bloggy love. And she's a friend of Kate's, yo!

Kori - See Kori Rant. Because she has some crazy stalker guy messing with her and her family and she needs some bloggy love right now.

Lisa - Domestic Accident. This dego chic is the bawm ...nuf said...

There are others that I would have left it to also but many of you have already received this award. So I thought I'd spread the love.
