112 days down, 253 days to go!
Dear Orange Rhinos,
I would love to write something inspiring and useful tonight. Or even just something funny or interesting. Shoot, I would just like to write something, anything period.
But I can’t. I simple don’t have the time. It turns out that I am not Superwoman after all and that I don’t have 24 hours in a day to get stuff done. Darnnit, I really thought I was! So instead please share any questions you have below in the comments section or share any requests for topic matter for my posts.
Shiver me timbers, I’m off to frost Pirate Cupcakes for my son’s 4th Birthday in school and to prepare for the Alphabet Treasure Hunt. So much to do, too few hours to do it all. Why can’t I be superwoman? It would certainly make life easier!
Cheers,
The Orange Rhino
I disagree. I think you ARE superwoman.
Hahaha. You are right. Now I am, my cape arrived in the mail yesterday. Now I can do anything. You are sweet 🙂 Thanks for reading!
Anyone who’s not yelling for 365 days is TOO a superwoman. Â Seriously. Â Where did you get this idea. Â I LOVE it.
LOL. Thanks Missy! I think I am going to be reading your blog more and more for inspiration to keep going! If you read my Epiphany you will see how it all started. Kind of. I just realized the whole story is not present! Looks like I have a post to do!
Just kidding. Here is the story!

Here is a question I have been pondering for a while. Does it count as yelling if you are trying to get your child’s attention when they are at a distance. We live on an acreage and if we are outside the rule is you can be wherever you want but mom has to be able to see you. So if I cannot see one of them, I yell. If you are frantic but yelling does it break your challenge?
I say it all depends on the tone and the situation. I feel yelling in an emergency is OK. ie. can’t find a child, child could get hurt by walking into street, yelling, or more appropriately using a VERY loud voice is OK so long as it isn’t mean and hurtful and followed up with love. It sounds like in your situation it is totally warranted. I thought I lost my son and I certainly ran around with a raised voice. But it wasn’t “where the he*l are you, you are in so much trouble you are awful” it was” where are you! i cant find you, i’m scared.” followed up with lots of you can’t do that you scared me but in a loving voice. I think you are okay…Hope it is going well!
