The One About a Whiner and a Winner

Friday, September 10th, 2010

Have I Told You:

Reichen chipped my front tooth while trying kiss me.

Reichen and Latham have a serious case of diarrhea.  And I’ve been collecting stool samples for tests.  And changing diapers and underwear every 30 seconds.  And running never ending loads of laundry.  And incessantly disinfecting our home.

I totally flaked on a friend’s play date.  I thought the boys and I were supposed to be there Thursday at 11:00am, not Wednesday at 11:00am.  And to make matters worse, I didn’t even realize my mistake until yesterday.

We have not sold our home even though:

  • it’s been on the market 6 months.
  • we’ve lowered the asking price $40,000.
  • we’ve painted the entire interior.
  • we’ve replaced our awesome light fixtures with boring ones.
  • we’ve put in new landscaping.

How impossible it is to keep a house in ‘show’ condition while raising 2 toddlers.

David drives 6 hours a day, nearly every day, for work while we wait to sell our home.

This entire post deleted itself when I pushed the button to publish it.

Okay.  Okay.  Okay.  This concludes the whining portion of this post.  Here’s the part where I tell you who won The Great Give Away.  Shall We?  Let’s.

Andrea, you’re the winner!  I’ll be e-mailing you shortly with more information,  In the meantime, here’s how Andrea wants to customize her new Sigg Water Bottle from Cafe Press.

“I would definitely put a picture of my family on it so that no matter where I am or no matter where they are, I can always “see” them, especially since my oldest started Kindergarten.”

Thanks so much to everyone who entered! 

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have more stool samples to collect.  Lots more.  Have I told you the doctor wants 7 vials full of fecal.

Help. Me.

The Great Giveaway

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

I can’t tell you how excited I am about my very first giveaway here at 3 Stinky Boys and Me.  I mean, I’ve waited a long time for the perfect present for you guys.  During the year and a half I’ve been blogging, I’ve had several retailers offer me stuff, and by stuff, I mean crap.  Did I tell you about the one guy who wanted me to review and giveaway Sarah Palin toilet paper?  Seriously.  But who wants to wipe their precious parts with a Palin?  Um, not me.  So I passed.

But I didn’t pass the offer Cafe Press gave me.  The online retailer wants to give one of my readers an eco-friendly and fun SIGG water bottle.  These safe and durable aluminum bottles are great for the gym, kid’s lunch bags and more. With 100% satisfaction guaranteed, most orders ship within one business day.  And if you can’t find the perfect SIGG design, you can create your own like I did.

And creating your own design is so easy.  All you need to do is upload the picture you want and edit your message.  That’s it.  And the best part:  Cafe Press shows you exactly what your custom water bottle looks like before you even order it. 

CafePress also offers the best selection of personalized gifts and unique gifts such as t-shirts, clothing, mugs, art & posters. 

Want to enter to win the SIGG?  Here’s how.

The Rules:

Leave a comment telling me who or what image you would put on your Cafe Press SIGG water bottle. 

In your comment, mention the ways in which you follow 3 Stinky Boys and Me:

Google Reader or equivalent RSS feed reader (+1)

Google Friend (+3)

Twitter (+3)

Facebook (+1)

Did you notice the more ways you follow 3 Stinky Boys and Me, the more chances you have to win?  If you follow 3 and Me on google reader or Facebook, you get 1 chance to win.  But if you follow 3 and Me on Twitter or Goggle Friend, you get 3 chances to win!  And if you follow 3 and Me on all four social networks, you get 8 chances to win!  Trust me, this $28 SIGG bottle is worth the work.

And finally, the giveaway closes on Thursday, September 9th at noon.  I’ll choose a winner randomly from all the entries.

Good Luck!
