Week 178!
I promise I will not make this a habit. Both Nigel and I weren’t feeling 100% yesterday, and I just didn’t have the energy to post. I do apologize and hope that doesn’t drive any of you away! Anyway, it’s time for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I am always aiming for 9:30 pm EDT. So, on with the show, right?
As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight my good friend, Shelbee from Shelbee on The Edge!
Shelbee writes, “My page Welcome to the Edge shared a brief description of myself, but you are probably wondering who is this woman and what does she have to offer me. I do not put myself out there as an expert of any sort. I often wonder where people obtain their qualifications as experts, such as these self-proclaimed “parenting experts” and “marriage experts.” Because, honestly, while my marriage is strong and my kids are healthy, I have to admit that I don’t really know what the hell I am doing in most areas of my life. But I wake up every day with a smile and I tackle the challenges that face me and every night I breathe a sigh of relief that we all have survived another day. I think what qualifies me to share the little information that I have acquired is simply my life experiences. I can share what I learned along the way, what mistakes I have made, and what things I have done right. I feel that simply surviving some of trials that I have overcome obligates me to share this information with others in the event that it may make the ride a little bit easier for you… I love being a stay-at-home mom! It is the hardest, most frustrating, most rewarding job I have ever done! And every day of my life, I feel blessed. Blessed for all I have. Blessed to be here. Blessed to be able to share with you all.” You can find Shelbee’s blog here, and please tell her we sent you!

Thank, Cat! I think we both must have eaten something that just disagreed with us. It was just enough to make us feel tired and miserable.

You’re welcome, Deb! Have a fabulous weekend!
Oh yes! I have the same thoughts about the bloggers who write in a way as if they are experts. They act as if they are and they are not. I also don’t write that way, I only write about how I did something without giving the impression I am an expert.
Thanks so much for hosting us all each Friday, Marsha, and special thanks for featuring our “Pumpkin Math” post this week. So exciting! This time, we’re sharing #14 and #15. We hope you are having a great start to the weekend!
