<p> </p>
<p>I mentioned in a <a href="http://somuchmorethanamom.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/not-flying-solo-this-year/">previous post</a> that I am not going to be able to take my <a href="http://somuchmorethanamom.wordpress.com/flying-solo/">solo trip</a> on Mother&#8217;s Day weekend this year.  I also mentioned that I believe that there must be a reason that I am not able to go and that I was just waiting to find out what that reason was. </p>
<p>That reason has presented itself.  I entered my friend Gina in <a href="http://www.freshstartafterdivorce.com/public/department123.cfm">THIS CONTEST</a> and WE WON!!!!</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">My friend and fellow blogger <a href="http://justjaime28.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/blog-appreciation/">It&#8217;s A Jaime Thing</a> has bestowed upon me this adorable award&#8230;.</p>

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">My Award!</dd>
</dl>
<p>How cool is that?!  Now, I get to bestow this award to 10 of my favorite blogs, which I promise to do.  But, it will have to be later today.  I promise to do it!  First, I have to go get my hair done.  My roots are, well&#8230;.showing.  I&#8217;m sure you all understand.  <img src='http://somuchmorethanamom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In the meantime, thank you Jaime!</p>
<p>Thanks for stopping by!
