<p>Last chance here we go!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s Thursday and it’s time for Random Thoughts. I&#8217;ve been sick and I have so much to say. So here we go.</p>
<p>First thing is:</p>

<p>Number Two:</p>
<p>Thank you so much for returning my husband to me. He has been found!! I would have missed him terribly if he hadn&#8217;t been. Ok that is not totally true. We’ll wait yes it is. He does watch the kids sometimes. Now wait wait. Well can we call it watching? He does keep the kids while I run around some times. Not sure it’s called watching. I did come home to Monkeyboy’s new awful <a class="wp-oembed" href="http://heartsmakefamilies.com/2009/12/reasons-to-not-let-your-husband-cut-your-childs-hair/" target="_self">hair cut</a>. Did I mention awful? I was so mad. He was the one who watched them with the<a class="wp-oembed" href="http://heartsmakefamilies.com/2010/02/tattoos-disaster/" target="_self"> Tattoo Disaster</a>. He was the one that let Pumpkin become the green monster. I just realized I may have to make a post about this one. Future post. It’s a hilarious story. Pumpkin ended up in the hospital twice during his watch. Once when the dog bites her right in front of hubs and once when she fell in the tub with hubs standing there. Ok maybe my kids need to be protected from him. Oh well I still love him.</p>
<p>Item Three:</p>
<p>Remember me telling you that Pumpkin did not want to go down to the <a class="wp-oembed" href="http://heartsmakefamilies.com/2009/10/need-advice-do-i-worry-or-not/" target="_self">bus stop</a> by herself. She made me walk her halfway and then she would stand by me until it was time to run down to the end of the street. Yesterday, she begged me not to watch her go down. She is growing up. I wanted to cry and celebrate at the same moment. It was odd. I felt so confused. It’s a good thing but do you think I didn’t watch?? Heck no, I stood by the window out of sight and watched. My baby doesn’t need to know that so be quiet…DON’T TELL HER!<br />
Item Four:</p>
<p><a href="http://heartsmakefamilies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GH_BrandAmbassador.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-660 alignnone" title="GH_BrandAmbassador" src="http://heartsmakefamilies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GH_BrandAmbassador.jpg" alt="General Hospital Brand Ambassador" width="125" height="125" /></a></p>
<p>I mentioned that I’m the new General Hospital Brand Ambassador. I have to tell you that my shoes about fell off when they told me that I had been accepted. I get new feedback about what’s going on every Monday morning. Are you watching General Hospital?</p>
<p>Have you been watching General Hospital lately? It’s getting really dicey. There is this awesome connection between Lulu and Dante. Lulu is Luke and Laura’s daughter while Dante is Sonny’s long lost son. Talk about a match made in heaven. Now the two of them are HOT made all over.</p>
<p>Not to mention the storyline between Sonny and Dante. Sonny is the king of the mobster in town while Dante is a cop. Yes, you got it. Dante was an undercover cop trying to bring Sonny down when he got to town. His mother, Olivia, kept even Dante in the dark about his father all these years so there was no conflict about him going after his father. If Sonny had known would he have shot his own son? I doubt it very much. The father/son clash is a great story line. I hope that they finally in the end make up. Now, Sonny is standing trial for the murder of his wife, Claudia who actually was killed by his other son, Michael. Will Michael tell Dante the truth before Sonny goes to prison for something he actually didn’t do? Sonny is guilty of all kinds of other things just not this. Will father/son get the chance to patch up the relationship between the two of them? Will Dante have a change of heart about Sonny if Michael confesses?</p>
<p>Now while all this is going on Johnny is coming on back side to take over Sonny’s territory since he believes that Sonny will not pay for his sister’s death.</p>
<p>Great stuff..Stayed tuned.<br />

<p><em>“I am a participant in a Mom Central campaign for ABC Daytime and will receive a tote bag or other General Hospital branded items to facilitate my review.”</em></p>

<p>Item Five:<br />
I told you it was going to be long.</p>
<p><em><strong>Congratulations&#8230; You are a DIGIORNO Champions House Party host!!</strong></em></p>
<p>Woohoo!! I can’t believe that I get to host a Digiorno Champions House Party on March 20th at my house. I have been applying for parties forever from <a class="wp-oembed" href="http://houseparty.com" target="_self">HouseParty.com</a>. I didn’t think I was ever going to be accepted but I was. Now let me tell you what they are going to send me for the party. It includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 Party Planner Booklet — with 6 host coupons for free pizza and 15 guest coupons for $4.00 off pizza</li>
<li>1 Supreme Pizza Cutter</li>
<li>15 Party Rally Beads</li>
<li>1 Referee Apron</li>
<li>1 Refrigerator Magnet</li>
<li>16 Drink Coasters</li>
<li>2 Trivia Table Tent Cards</li>
<li>1 Basketball “Hoops” Beverage Can Game</li>
</ul>
<p>So not only are they supplying me the pizza and bread sticks but this great stuff as well. I pretty much get to have a party on them except of course drinks. They even have an event program to send out invitations as well.  All I have to do is have a party and tell about it on their website.  It&#8217;s easy and free to me! </p>
<p>Now you can’t get in on this party, but there are lots of other ones to try for. I saw a Windows party, card party, Eco party, and various other parties. All you need to do is go set up an account here and then apply for the parties. I wanted to be accepted before I told you about it.</p>
<p>Item Six:</p>
<p>Specials that I just found out about:</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="wp-oembed" href="http://www.portraitinnovations.com" target="_self">Portrait Innovations</a> – you all know that I have issues with them. I had a very nasty time with one of their photographers, check it out here. But I still love their work so the offer is as follows:</li>

<blockquote><p>Yes you can just get the package. Although I will tell you that they hate that. I love their work. Just to let you know they will take hundreds of pictures of you. You need to narrow it down to as few as possible. And be upfront if you just want the package.</p></blockquote>
<ul>

When you make an Express Classic Photo Book, you get the second one FREE! Our Express Photo Books will let you create a memorable keepsake in just minutes.
