If Only I Had Super Powers...

Welcome to my Super Hero party!

Welcome! I am CC, the Wanna-Be-Super-Hero that "protects" this blog.
I try to follow a weekly schedule. Since I'm no good at doing this at home for my cleaning, I might as well get it right here on my blog!
Monday: Children's books with Speech Therapy tips thrown in there (I can't resist!)
Tuesday: Teaching Tuesday tips, Kitchen tips
Wednesday: Wordless Wednesday aka Augmentative and Alternative Communication, Works for Me
Thursday: Therapy Thursday (speech therapy that is)
Friday: Funny Friday (a comic, funny, or other to lighten my mood), Frugal tips
Saturday: all heck breaks loose and you never know what you'll get ;)

Since I am quickly approaching my 100th post, I'll use this as an excuse to tell you a few things about myself as practice.
I've lived on both coasts but never in the middle of the US
I started traveling (internationally) without my parents at age 11
I love kids
I am not patient with kids
I am not patient with adults either

I'm told my humor can be very dry and you may not catch (or understand) my jokes
Luckily, my husband does
It's good at least one person does
I consider myself a semi-geek

You couldn't go to my college and not consider yourself a geek
I majored in biology

I was one of two students in all my bio classes who never wanted to go to med school

I didn't want to be a dentist either
Because looking in mouths is gross
Ha! Joke's on me! Guess what I do every day?
Come back and party with me soon!

Go To 5minutesformom for more blog parties!

And there are gifts too! These are the gifts I'd love to win:
1- 67 — Blog Makeover, Provided by: Shauna
2- 60 — $25 Gift Certificate, Provided by: Judy
3- 117 — $25 Gift Certificate, Provided by: Mommy Bytes
4- 72 — Webcam, Provided by: Liz
5- 39 — $20 Gift Certificate, Provided by: The Organized Knitting Club

I'd also love: #45, 129, 103

Haha.. I like your intro of yourself. You seem like a funny person. :)

elexisb said...

ha! I'm not patients with kids. Or adults. Or solicitors, or delivery people, etc., etc., etc. I do, however, have lots of patience for my dog - go figure! Nice to meet you :)

wondermommy said...

We both love superheros!!! I love your post! Have a Happy Party!

hopeng said...

I get your humor! :) count me in on your "bio major but not premed or dental and I don't want to do research" club.

...we're not ALL geeks, are we?!?

ValleyGirl said...

Nice to meet you! What a great blog and party! I love the themes you've chosen for each day -- and your sense of humour is awesome! It's not hard to imagine myself spending some more time here...

tam said...

I'll definitely be back around!

Ha! Ok. I won't agree with you (mouths are gross)...

BTW - I'm CC, too. Only it is Cici and only to my nephew and his cousins. Oh well...

Happy Mama said...

And who says that seminary students adn their wives are boring...You are great!...what seminary is he in? Thanks for posting on my blog!

That Chick Over There said...

Howdy from another Party gal!

IL Social Worker said...

Thank you for visiting my blog! I can imagine that you've had a bunch of interactions with social workers over the years and probably not all of them very good. Adopting is such a blessing to everyone involved....be well and happy blog party!

30 Minute Mommy said...

HI! Great Blog! I will most definitely get your dry humor. Bring it on!

Heather said...

Great party! I'll be looking around. Don't mind me. I'll try not to look in the medicine cabinet.

Deana said...

I love your blog. Super Powers, huh? Gotta get me some of those. It's funny that you say you're not patient with kid or adults. Probably you use up all your patience at work (speech pathologists are, as a group, the most absolutely patient people I've ever met) and then when you get off work, you're about fed up and don't want to deal with people's nonsense. I'll definitely be visiting again. Great blog.

Quirky is a Compliment said...

It seems like we have a lot in common...except for the biology thing. And I too have been accused of having a very dry wit (nobody ever catches my jokes). Anyway, very nice to meet you. I'll be back for more in depth reading later!

nottryingforaboy said...

I'm totally getting your feed because not only are you too funny, two of my kids are in ST.

Enjoy partying!

Natalie said...

Fun party post! :)

KC said...

I'm so glad I made my way over to your party.. I'm adding you to my blogline feeder.. My Name is KC(well here in the blogging world anyways) I"m a SAHM of 4 kids, my younger 2 at the moment are in Speech Therapy, my 6 year old though her school and my 2 year old though the hospital.. I really am looking forward to your tips and speech post.. My 6 years old seems to be coming along nicely.. but my 2 year(well he will be 3 in May) has a speech delay they thing due to the lack of oxygen at his birth, and lately he seems to be moving backwards then forward..
We are partying this week over at my blog also.. Your invited to the party.. I do hope to see you there.

Joy @ Joy Of Desserts said...

ROUS! That was the best. That's a great movie.

I'm hosting a party too. I have a brand new dessert blog.

Marissa said...

Hi, I like your party! Superheroes are great! I'll be back to party with you some more.

FireMom said...

:) So glad to have met you!

Wendy said...

Thanks for stopping by. I sure wish I were a super hero myself (my power would be to be in two places at one time - think of how much I could get done!).
I'll have to come back when I can look around a little more.

snpnmnmi said...

I want super powers too! Where do you get them?
I never wanted to be a dr either and children better do things my way, or else (well... I'm not really THAT hardnosed... but sometimes...)
Tammy :):):)

imPerfect Mother said...

Love your Blog! I totally get your sense of humor as I was blessed with the same kind :P

Enjoy the Party!!

Erin (imPERFECT MOTHER)

Tammy said...

Ha Ha, well I have super powers yup my husband tells me I have a super sniffer (can tell he passed gas from anywhere in the 1614 sq ft abode), and the super sonic hearing too (again I can hear that he passed gas in the same range). Anyway your blog is delightful. I'll be back - Hosta la vista

Joanne said...

Geeks are in now. At least that's what folks keep telling me, who knows.
Patience has never been the first adjective used to describe me and I have a pretty dry sense of humour myself. If you have a chance to stop by my party that would be great!

Lori - Queen of Dirty Laundry said...

Hey from another adoptive mother! I love that you share your speech pathology expertise on your blog.

I'll be back...

laura said...

Go blog party!!

onemotherslove said...

Nice to meet you. I had a late talker. Have you read "Late Talking Children" by Thomas Sowell? (I think I got the name right.) Now, at age 3, he NEVER STOPS talking! : )

Carey said...

Great party!
Wow, traveling without parents at age 11..was that scary? or exciting?

momofmhasr said...

Thanks for showing me around.

Natalie said...

i am all for money saving tips! thanks for having me over for your pary. i love the drink coffee cartoon!!!

Chel said...

Wow, speech path & children's books! Mondays must rock here.

Becoming Me said...

Glad I found your blog. Very fun post. I will be back to read all your tips.

Terri H said...

I love the pic at the bottom of your page. I'm not patient with kids or adults, especially adults. Adults are old enough to not have to have directions spelled out for them.


Have fun.

Becky said...

I'm happy that I found via the party today! I have 2 in speech therapy and maybe your blog will give me a fresh outlook on that. Love the themes you do! I got your sense of humor! Planning to come back!
Hope you are having fun at the party!

smtwngrl said...
