Top 10 Reasons I am Excited To Stay Home With My Family This Coming Weekend!



As many of you know, Blogher'09 is going on in Chicago this weekend. And as you can probably guess, I'm not there. Well, since the 1400+ folks are partying it up in Chicago this weekend and so many of us are a few shades of Green With Envy, watching the pics come in of swag and fun, the folks over at Cozi and Mom of 2 Boys, Wife of 1 don't want us home bodies to feel left out. That's why they've put together this great little contest where 15 bloggers (who aren't at Blogher this weekend will win $100 sponsorship!!) Whoot Whoot!!!

All I need is my wonderful readers to leave me a comment on the post! The 15 bloggers with the most comments will win the $100 Sponsorship, so that means I need your help! Please folks comment away!

So alas, here are my top ten reasons why I'm excited to stay home with my family this weekend.

10.~ I will not walk in pain from too tight shoes and blistered feet. No heels here, just flip flops or slippers.

9.~ I don't need to shave my legs!

8.~ I can't get snuggles from my little one way off in a hotel room somewhere. Here I can have all the hugs I want!

7.~ I'll keep my money in my pocket. No cab fares, plane tickets and bus passes for me. My little car will take me where I need to go, with out the meter running.

6.~ Swag? who needs it! I already have enough things to clutter up my house.

5.~ I need my sleep. I couldn't imagine being up to all hours of the night, chatting and partying! Not for me! I'll rest my head and have sweet dreams in my own bed.

4.~ Can you imagine the state my house & kids would be in without me for a weekend. It's already a mess with me in it! I'd come home and spend 2 weeks catching up on just a few days of missed work.

3.~ I don't need to waste my time picking out outfits or doing my hair. A ball cap and capris are great for the park or the pool.

2.~ I know what my family is eating! Without me for 4 days, their diet would consist of take out cheeseburgers, potato chips, soda pop and chocolate.

1.~ I would be lost without hearing the constant whine of "Mommy can I," and "Mommy I need" and "Mommy, Mommy Mommy....."

LOve yoru reasons, and I agree, even though it would have been so much fun to be there this weekend! There is always next year, right? I'm so determined to go to NYC for BlogHer '10! Maybe I'll bring my whole family, so at least I won't miss the boys too much, as I can't do more than 24 hours without them!

I stayed home too after just getting home from taking care of a friend. Your reasons are fabulous.

 
At July 28, 2009 2:46 AM , Blogger Lia said...

Your house and kids and all will be okay. Take it easy. Seems like fun though.

 
At July 29, 2009 8:31 AM , Blogger amweeks said...

My favorite reason is your #2! A mom needs to be vigilant against junk food constantly!

My 2 yo is definately in a "mommy!!!!" phase as well!

Cool fun scents want to make me try them (and not just for my kids) And they are natural...fingers and toes crossed that I win!

I totally understand the knowing what they're eating thing... if my DH was in charge the nutrition in this house would be a disaster (and he's a M.D.!)

 
At August 2, 2009 7:44 PM , Blogger Lauren said...

For me, the swag is pretty tempting! I have too much junk but still....

 
At August 5, 2009 3:14 AM , Blogger yadgirl said...

Those are good reasons.

 
At September 17, 2009 12:56 AM , Blogger Just Another Hofeling said...

I think I'm equally at lost with or without the constant whining. I've become so used to it that I can't imagine not having it as my background noise and at the same time I feel like banging my head against a wall because of it,in the hopes that it will drown the sound out or block it from my memory. Sad huh!
Good luck and wish you the best!
