And the Mother of the Year, Decade, Millenium Goes to.....(also Bee's Halloween Giveaway Final Day!)

So, I am now officially "Mother of the Year!"  Wanna see how I won this prestigious title?  Take a look...


Meet Connor (aka Teen Caveboy)...he's hanging out with Shim, lead singer of Sick Puppies!  You may know Sick Puppies from this very famous video....



(Why not go ahead and watch it again? It will brighten your day and chase away those Monday blues...)

Connor and I headed out to a Sick Puppies concert yesterday.  It was FANTASTIC!  They are amazing entertainers and the band was very kind in the autograph line.  (Connor was first in line, of course!)  So how exactly does all of this make me Mother of the Year?  Sit a spell and I'll tell ya!


Sick Puppies management made it VERY clear that NO photos were allowed to be taken with any band member personally.  They would allow photos of the autograph signing, but no "one on one" photos with any band member PERIOD.  Not Gonna Happen...Don't Bother Asking...Just get your autograph and go. Totally understandable since there were over 500 people (seriously, no joke) in line for autographs.  Well, being the rebel that I am, I saw an opportunity after they were done doing autographs and just went for it.  I wanted to make this special for Connor. I found a staff member who seemed open to my request and thought the worst that could happen was that he would say no.  No big....But...he said YES!  So off we went to meet Shim!  He couldn't have been nicer...this guy absolutely rocks!  He was very, very kind to Connor.  It was truly one of the highlights of Teen Caveboy's life!


Some highlights of the show....








So there you have it!  Mother of the Year!  Who's your Mommy now?!  (Thanks Chilly, again, for my awesome camera! I've had the best year in picture taking EVER!)

***BEE ALERT!***

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
