Mama's Losin' It!

This is me exploiting my children for millions of dollars...minus the millions of dollars. What the hell am I doing?

Your Assignment, Should You Choose To Accept

Directions: You can learn more about Writer’s Workshop here….it’s never to late to jump in!! Here is what you must do:

  • Choose a prompt that inspires you most.
  • Write.
  • Come back this Thursday and paste the URL to your actual post (do this by clicking the title of your post after you hit publish, an extended URL will come up in the address bar. That’s the URL you want to use) into the Mister Linky that will be up…this way anyone can click on your name and head over to your place to see what you wrote.

Feel free to write on more than one prompt if you so desire. I do it all the time, but it’s my game…and I don’t know how to shut-up…so it should be expected. And remember the more comment love you give, the more comment love you get so comment comment away.

The Prompts:

Which one will YOU choose??

1.) The heart that just wouldn’t quit.

2.) Relay an entertaining conversation or string of emails you recently had with someone.

3.) Open your picture folders…find a random “February” picture from a past year and tell a story.

4.) Childhood memory time: Write about something you loved to do as a child.

5.) “The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned” ~ Maya Angelou -Now write.

    I do NOT want a baby mouse (eeeek!) but I had to say what a great Maya Angelou quote that is.

    Remember-no mouse for me.

    This is my first week participating in Writer’s Workshop and I’m very excited about it! :-) That’s got to be a shoo-in for me to win a baby mouse. :-P

    Do you really mean baby mice? Or is this some kind of new fandangeled electronic thingy? Can’t wait for the Bachelor post!

    As in, a real mouse?! Really? Cool!
    Also, I just posted a few days ago a string of emails from my mom to me about my children. Tres funny!!!

    I’ve already got my article written and I’m super excited. Is it Thursday yet? Oh and please don’t enter me for the mouse giveaway. I won 8 of them about a month ago without even entering! Yup. The exterminator came by. Yadda. Yadda. Yadda. I wrote a blog post about it, but I’d much rather forget the whole experience! Talk about traumatic.

      The scent of mothballs is suspepod to drive them out of areas so try putting those in your car. Also, try putting peppermint oil on cotton balls. It’s another smell they don’t like so they will leave.

    I just found this site and am excited to participate this week! I will link up on Thursday but I can’t get the button to work. Can anyone help? Thanks so much!

    Am I the only one who saw “baby mouse” and went “Really? Cool!” =D

    Then again, I love strange animals…

    I already told you what I’d do with a mouse in my house. So, you can decide whether or not to enter my name in the drawing.

    If I tweet can I earn some more entries?

    What about becoming a fan of the “I heart mice” group on facebook?

  26. Brandi says

    My rats would eat it for dinner! LMAO Yes, I really do have pet rats before you even ask. Now trying to find that darn linky around here….

    delurking to comment for the very first time (I think) – love your blog, wish I had time to do some writers workshopping…one day. No mouse thank you (it will probably die crossing the pacific to Australia)
