Would You Like Dessert, Um Desert, I mean Dessert?
No, I'm not MIA. Just been a little busy. With the kids home and their summer events, doctor appointments for my daughter (you have to follow me on twitter to find out what is going on there,) and family wanting to see the kids (and us wanting to see them too,) I've been a little busy and tired but loving every minute of it. Oh AND I have completed and new picture book manuscript and currently working the cover letter. Yes, I didn't forget about writing.
Today I want to talk about something I love....desserts.
I used to have trouble remembering how many S in the word. I don't enjoy eating deserts, the sand is too crunchy in my teeth. But if I was eating deSSerts I would want to have 2 and that's how many S are in the word. I know it is I little cheesy but it works and it's fun.
What words do you have a problem remember how to spell?
What do you do to remember how to spell certain words?

Hail, Hail The Teeth Are Here
Here are 2 pictures I took yesterday I thought you might be interested in.
First, here is the "lovely" weather we have been having this week. Yes, that is hail.
Second, and most important, here is a picture of my 7 month old daughter's first teeth.

A Very Exciting Day For Me
Yesterday was an exciting day for a few reasons. Not only was it Victoria Day but my baby girl turned 6 months old. I can't believe it has been half a year alreay. Now she's 6 months old she can start baby cereal and that is what we did yesterday. She didn't jump on it like I thought she would but she did eat some of it.
Another exciting thing that happened was my brother, David, was on the local news. My brother has a black belt in aikido. (I believe he has a 3rd dans black belt) In the video below my brother is the one being thrown around at the beginning and then sitting on the floor with the reporter after the commercial break.
I think I'm going to write an article about aikido for children. I know when my brother told me he was taking it I didn't know exactly what it was. I think it would mnake an interesting non-fiction piece.

Bubbles! - SBP (Story Behind the Poem)
It is time for another “story behind the poem.”
Today's story is for the poem BUBBLES IN MY TUB from my unpublished poetry book IF MY FISH HAD FEET. The poem is about a child's over zealous use of bubbles at bath time.
This poem is based on a real life bath incident at home. My son (I think he was 4 years old at the time) wanted to have a bath in the tub in my bathroom instead of the kids' bathroom. The tub in the en suite is a large, deep, soaker tub which my son pretend to swim in it. In order to fill the tub in a reasonable amount of time the water from the faucet comes out rather quickly. Well, between the amount of bubble bath I put in and rushing water stirring things up, a large volume of bubbles was created. I didn't quite realize the amount of bubbles in the tub until I dropped my son in and he practically disappeared. Of course, my son squealed with joy and I started laughing.
Thinking of this story still makes me chuckle.
I have a picture somewhere of him in the bubbles. I'll have to search and when I find it I will update this post.

Signs, Signs Everywhere A Sign
Ok the baby is napping time to post a quick blog.
I was so please yesterday to get another book manuscript in the mail. Yay me!
The manuscript had to be submitted by the end of the month to be considered and I knew I was cutting it short. Regular mail can take 4 to 5 business days. This meant it may make it in on time on the 31st or it could be one day late. I put a lot of work into it and I felt good about this manuscript so I was willing to pay the extra money to send it Xpresspost and make sure it gets there on time. Xpresspost mail gets to its destination in 2 business days (which would be Monday) and you can track it. Cool! I checked the tracking number this morning and my manuscript made it to the destination city. Oh, one other important piece of information about this story is since the book was a collection of silly poetry it was by Auntie Flamingo not my real name.
That afternoon the baby and I went to the mall to meet a friend and her son. I needed to buy some clothes to wear to volley ball next week and I always like to look at the children's clothes. My friend wanted to go into Baby GAP which is a store I don't usually go into though I do like their clothes. For some reason I made a bee-line for this one rack and what do I see for my little girl?
As often as I look I see very few things with flamingos on it. Is it a sign? LOL
I don't know but it was on sale and I just had to have it! Not only did they have this top but they had the cutest little pink skirt with little flamingos on it. I didn't get it though because I am not sure what size she will take when the weather gets warm enough to wear it.
Have you ever had anything happen to you that you took as a sign and it was correct?
