Coming back in style!

I am so thrilled that people want this done, and I would love to do it, but I have to stop. I am just not feeling up to it now. We have had some not great news through the week and my heart is not in this anymore. My 12yo witnessed a very bad accident. My 18yo was caught breaking the rules and lying AGAIN. And my husband's boss is out to get him fired and it will probably happen within 30 days.
So, you see, I'm kind of distracted a wee bit.
If you want to send some love my way I'd love it if you fill my RM account with free money, and you get free money, too. Sign up for an account under me and you get $25 and I get $10.

The bloggy giveaways are going on and I will TRY to organize the giveaways somewhat by category. But I know I won't do it justice, and really, I will get overwhelmed. But for fun, lets give it a shot!

Well, here is how it works: I can't get through them all, my kids and life won't let me ingnore them, as hard as I try. I will leave the number I left off on so you can see if I have updated since you were last here. I'm currently at 400.

I am trying to get through this, but I keep running into issues that cause me to lose my work, lol. Not my day! I will hopefully get through them all. I don't know why some links are reverting to links instead of the names of the blogs that I put in there.
