I open my e-mail this morning and I find the most glorious thing. I entered Hallie into the "Kid of the Year" contest from Parents magazine online. I totally forgot that I had even entered her. So I open my email and almost delete this email when something inside of me says...
"Stop"
"Open that email"
It must have been the spirit.. haha. But anyways.. I open it. And low and behold my little girl has been chosen to be in the contest. Heck yeah! Fist pump! I was so ecstatic! And of course I'm dancing around the room by myself because Jordan is at school. Hallie is staring at me like I'm a mental person. I look at her and scream,
"YOU'RE IN! YOU'RE THE CUTEST BABY!!"
She just gives me that huge smile of hers and then starts to laugh. It was almost as if she knew or something. Or at least understood what I was saying. Or thought I had gone crazy and she just thought it was funny.
So now I am an insane person. If you have gotten a random text from me with a link to her picture and pleading for you to vote, yes that was me, but mental me. If you didn't get a text from me it's because I don't have your phone number.
I plead temporary insanity.
I plead temporary insanity.
So this is how it works... you enter your child and hope their photo gets picked from the thousands of entries to the top 100. But this is a weekly contest. You can enter your kid every week. If she gets the most votes from the 100 chosen this week we will receive 250 dollars. Then the winners from the 52 weeks of the year go into a big pool. Then all the editors of Parents magazine cast their vote for "Kid of the Year". If you win, you get 7,000 dollars!!! Holy cow. Jordan and I need this bad!! After having a baby this year, I stopped working, and all the car problems this year (2,500 just to be exact) we have accumulated some unwanted fundage on our credit of cards. So this will help a ton.
So in conclusion to this post...
PLEASE GO VOTE FOR MY BABY TO WIN
(yes I am going crazy. This is for Hallie. Vote for her)
You can vote everyday once a day from any device for the rest of the week. So I voted 4 times today.. my phone/husbands, my computer/husbands
