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....."
Comment Love, please!

Love your top 10! I agree with them all!!!!
great top 10
Ahh.. Can really relate to the constant "Mommy..." or "Mom..!" chants!
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!
hey good luck !
Please share the comment love :)

Awesome Top 10 list. I hate shaving!!

Enjoyed reading your good reasons :) Good Luck!
I'd miss my kids too! Next year baby!
Love you Top 10 list :)
That list is great! have to remember it for type A!!!
Since you get to go to NY next year and your very jealous best friend does not...The least you could do is bring me back a I Love NY Tshirt...Don't ya think? lol I will remind you around this time next year...Love ya
Love your reasons...my favorite are #9 (why shave if you don't have to?), and #1!
Hmmm I didn't shave my legs but my feet feel horrible! I had fun but it sure is good to be home!
Great top 10!!! right there with you!

I am with you on the wearing high heels one!
All very good reasons for staying home. Good Luck!
Hope you enjoyed your weekend! :)
Love them! Good luck. Hope your weekend was great!
I stayed home too after just getting home from taking care of a friend. Your reasons are fabulous.
Your house and kids and all will be okay. Take it easy. Seems like fun though.
My favorite reason is your #2! A mom needs to be vigilant against junk food constantly!
I'm so #3
Love this!
Hope you win!
yeah shaving isn't any fun
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.!)
For me, the swag is pretty tempting! I have too much junk but still....
Those are good reasons.
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!
