Awkward! or How Amazingly Inept Rachel Can Be

Unless I spelled that wrong, awkward is a really awkward looking word actually...  I just used the spell-checker and I spelled it right. 

I, in general am an awkward person.  Don't worry I am going to pull up a thesaurus and find an nice synonym for the word so I can stop repeating it.

When I eat, I am incredibly clumsy.  I ALWAYS seem to end up wearing something that I was eating, either that or the floor ends up wearing part of my meal/snack. 

Watching me dance would be hilarious as "two left feet" doesn't even begin to describe me.  I'm always trying to do dance workouts, because they look more fun than the average cardio exercise.  They probably are more fun, but I am always a step behind and waving my arms around like an idiot.  Hopefully Michael never leaves me so I need to get a job as a stripper, because not only do I avoid being naked whenever possible, but my act would involve going on stage, taking off my clothes, covering my dirty bits and running crying off stage (probably to some awesome butt rock song like Girls, Girls, Girls).  Now I have never been to a strip club, but I watch alot of TV and from what I have seen, that is not what you are supposed to do.  I guess I might get drunk and fall off stage instead...

I am not only physically bumbling, but socially as well.  I just don't know what to do.  I want people to like me, I really do.  Which is strange because in general I don't like people when I first meet them, but I still need them to like me.  To avoid people NOT liking me, I just don't talk to them.  Kinda counter-productive considering that probably makes most people think I am a snobby bitch, when really I just would rather have them not like me for assuming I am a bitch, then really getting to know me and not liking me for more personal reasons.

Even social interaction with people I know and like sometimes makes me uncomfortable.  Like I would love more friends considering (if you don't count facebook or people I talk to if I run into them) I have two friends, one of whom I hardly see because I am to cheap to use up my gas and to lazy to drive all that way by myself anyways.  But I can't just ask people over, what if they say no?  What if it turns out that they don't actually like me, they are just pretending?  What if they say yes, then it ends up we have nothing to talk about and just sit around avoiding eye contact?  What if I invite them to dinner and they hate my cooking?  Alot of things can go wrong when you are trying to make new friends.  Or I am guessing it can, I have not actually tried in years.

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...
