Protect-A-Bed Blogher ’09 Scholarship Why I Need It

So, I have my ticket to go to Blogher.  I spent my $100.00 for my birthday to get it.  I am really excited that I will be a part of something so big, and I am a little intimidated.  I think that this is such a great opportunity to meet some really great people and learn some new things. Protect-A-Bed is giving another shot at help with getting there!

I never actually thought I would enjoy blogging so much, and when a good friend somehow convinced me to start, I haven’t been able to stop.  Being a stay at home mom and being far from my family is never easy, because I am pretty much stuck here in these four walls for about 6 days out of the week.  Sure we get out but, it is always with kids in tow.  I think I could really use the time away, even though the thought of leaving my boys with my husband, worries me as to what I may come home to!

I have my ticket, I even bought a plane ticket, and well, I have a room with my friend but currently it is all coming out of my pocket, and I had to skip buying new tennis shoes for my birthday to help get my ticket.  My expenses are mounting, but I know that it is all worth it for the experience.  I could really use this me time, even though being away from my boys so far away  tugs at my heart strings and would probably be the only reason why I wouldn’t go (I am such a home body).  That, and I haven’t had not even a pinch of a margarita or a sip of an adult drink in like 4.5 years, I have resigned to my toddlers offering me their sippy cups, and juice or water.  Nothing wrong with that, I am just saying.

Anyway, I would love some help with the funds because groceries and diapers for twins are expensive, and I would love to go without having so much guilt about the money I am spending to go to this fab shin dig! I don’t get out often lol.
