I had one of those weekends where both Saturday and Sunday seemed to go by so quickly that it barely felt like they were each made up of 24 hours. I got very little work done around the house, and now I’m sitting here, list of deadlines in front of me, looking around at the piles of stuff everywhere that need my attention, and feeling like I need to split myself half in order to get it all done!

My husband left at oh-GOD-it’s-early-45 this morning to catch a plane to Edison, New Jersey where he will be working for the next three days. He’s done on Thursday and is hoping to hop a train into New York for the day. He loves New York but every time he gets to go it’s always such a brief visit. We have been getting along really well lately and are going to miss each other a lot. Kaitlyn keeps saying “Daddy fwying on an aiw-pwane!”

So, if you are just joining us, I’d like to recap again some of the big things that are going on here right now:

  • You have until tomorrow, April 8th at 9 AM Eastern to enter the $200 American Express Gift Card giveaway I’m having! Please take a minute to visit the sponsor website http://tuitionbids.com, then go to THIS POST to leave your comment and be entered to win.
  • If you have any dollar amount to spare, I have joined bloggers Caffeinated Elf, Karen Sugarpants and MissAnnThrope in raising money to help blogger Lisa from Clusterfook. She has beaten cancer twice but now that bitch is back. Lisa would like to take her kids to DisneyWorld, and we want to help! Please visit THIS POST and look for the PayPal donation button. If you don’t have a PayPal account, you can still donate using a credit card. We want to give Lisa and her girls a wonderful Disney vacation, and every little bit helps.
  • Regular readers will know that one thing I look forward to every year is the BlogHer blogging conference, and I was saving money and donations to go, until our furnace broke and wiped out my savings account. BlogHer has announced a contest to give away a free conference pass, airfare and hotel, and I am asking for your help to win! On THIS POST, I have a link to the “Who’s your BlogHer Hero?” contest-if you think I demonstrate Passion, Innovation, and the Ability to Inspire a Community, please enter me to win. Use email address elizabeth@table4five.net, and my full name is Elizabeth Edwards. The contest is open until May 31st. Nominations are GREATLY appreciated!
  • And finally, if you or someone you know could use a baby sling, I’m giving away a Scootababy. Read all about what a Scootababy is and enter to win one before this Friday, April 11th by visiting THIS POST.

WHEW! And you should see my list of posts I need to write, like, YESTERDAY. It’s never a dull moment around here, that’s for sure. I’ve also got some cute photos from the weekend that I’ll get up on Flickr, a giveaway ending on MomReviews, and recipes for MomCooks, so now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m pouring myself another flagon of coffee and getting down to work!
