Top 25 Single Mom Blogs: Acceptance Speech

by RChicken on March 4, 2013

For the past several weeks, Rubber Chicken Madness was in the running for Top 25 Single Mom Blogs. Seventy-eight blogs were nominated, and in the end, yours truly landed at #10.  (Read my Top 25 Single Mom Blog interview)

I couldn’t have done it without you and you and you and even you over there.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you to each of  you who voted.  Whether it was once or twice or daily, each and every vote was appreciated.

Thank you to each of you who not only voted but introduced me to your friends so they could vote too.  There were retweets on Twitter and shares on Facebook.  I had notes in my email box and texts on my phone.

Thank you to Kathy at Life With the Frog for the push off the ledge to actually be in the running!

 

I’m holding myself back from buying an evening gown and leasing high end jewelry to strut around in all week (mostly because I committed to The Compact, but also because I don’t think that I could teach effectively with that much bling). But I feel every bit as proud of that little badge as Jennifer Lawrence is of her Oscar.

[cut off music begins - so I awkwardly wrap this up]

Thank you to my kids. To my parents. To my friends and family….Thank you. Thank you. Tha…

You’re awesome…you KNOW that right?
CONGRATULATIONS!

(also the word for Trifecta this week is JUGGLE, I couldn’t help but think this is a fantastic word for you! ;)

I’m trying to learn that I’m awesome. I know it in many facets of my life, and keep trying to appreciate myself and my words :)

And darn it…this week got completely away from me…JUGGLE would be the perfect word for me…but looks like I won’t get to it.

Maybe I’ll write my own piece even if it’s too late to link up to Trifecta.
