So I had that little mish-mash of stuff last week, not the least of which was a section issuing apologies for those of you who should be on my Bloggin' Buds link list and also for those of you who have sent me awards and only heard crickets in return....
I also issued a lighthearted challenge that an Octamom Award, detailing my boggy award delinquency, should be developed for those of you who have experienced said bloggy award silence.
I checked my Octamom mail that afternoon.....and here is what I found...
This prestigious award was designed by an incredible lady, Debi B. I laughed until the one abdominal muscle left in my post-postpartum (that's not a typo) belly was sore and quivering. This may be one of my favorite gifts to receive ever. And you need to know a little about its designer. Debi B is the blog author of Who Says 8 is Enough?and is the awesome mother of NINE, yes, NINE blessings! She is the Neufmom to my Octamom....and she has twins...and she had time to make me laugh...really hard. Yep, I like her.
So, for all of you who have given me these little beauties...
...feel free to grab that Octamom award and put it where ever you want...even on your blog, should you chose to do so.Rules?
Ah, come on, you want me to make up rules for this thing?
Um, okay.
Let's see.
1. You must eat a piece of chocolate in honor of accepting the Octamom award.
2. You must, um.....oh, ah, eat another piece of chocolate when you put it on your blog.
3. You must visit Debi B. by clicking here. It's neighborly, you know.
4. Try to go by and see the other good folks I'm going to put a link up for.
5. Feel free to add or subtract from the rules as suits your fancy...except that chocolate one...I must insist on that.
And here's a little hit parade of Octamom buddies, just to get you started on a web session that will take you deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of Blog World. Be sure and leave a trail of chocolate wrappers so that you can find your way out again.....

Okay, Rule #7...I will post more links of blogs I love very, very soon, so please oh please don't feel left out...but I've now been typing and linking blog addresses for far longer than a mother of eight should be...so here's me being a grown-up and bugging out....
Now I'm all worried someone's gonna feel left out--- so, Rule #8--if you also want the award, leave your name and link in the Mister Linky box and consider yourself awarded! Is everyone happy now? Remember to eat the chocolate--it's a rule...

You are one hysterical woman!!! lol I accept your award (and said chocolate) graciously. Thanks Octamom!!
Oh, and Debi..... shakes head. I have no idea how she has the time to do the things she does. It's such a cute award though. Thanks to Debi too!
Happy Tuesday!! :)
pssst... How's 4 doing today?
Oh boy, there is something dwelling deep inside us bloggers that just gets us all quivery when we see a link to our blog on someone else's blog. I think it might be some sort of sickness getting this excited. The cure is probably chocolate. I ate your prescribed award chocolate, I didn't have any proper chocolate so I had a Tim-tam instead. I think it passed muster, if not I will just have to go out tomorrow to buy a block and eat it then, might do that anyway now that I think of it...
What a funny sort of sisterhood... where laugh fests are welcome!! :-) I will gladly accept your award and will link it soon. :-) i am glad that you had your dose of chuckles medicine, and that you have obviously been blessed with lots of friends and "sisters." Have a great day. :-)
Thanks, sweetie. I can't figure out how to send those little buttons that go with the awards, so I just duck the whole thing.
You seriously crack me up!
Loved this. I don't qualify for any of the awards, but I decided to make up a Rule #9: Visit each blog listed and eat a piece of chocolate while there. Two pieces if I leave a comment.
I need to get to the store today. I know I'm low on dark chocolate M&Ms.
Oh, and how many M&Ms equal 1 piece of chocolate? It's obviously more than one... I think I'll go with 5.
Thanks sweet girlie - I do enjoy and adore your blog, your humor, your faith and your beautiful family!
Oh my goodness! thank you so much for the award! That is so so sweet. And I LOVE your rules. I'd say the best use of Halloween candy ever! Thank you for inspiring me and making me laugh!
I will accept any award that involves chocolate.
And sadly, I am right there with you. People keep sending me awards and memes, and I keep forgetting about them until the middle of the night when I realize that I am a horribly rude blogger. But then in the morning? When I'm writing my blog post? I forget again.
Actually, I just started my blog a few days ago,but I thought I would share, just in case it gets better.

I LOVE the chocolate rule! I might get that rule engraved on a plaque to put in my house. You are awesome!
I'm just about to start that chocolate wrapper trail. You left my one post partum belly muscle quivering too. :) Thank you!
Thank You! You are so awesome and sweet! Hope you have a day as beautiful as you! ♥ Hugs!
I love the award from Debi B she did an awesome job on it.I will display it on my blog with honor in about 2 years or sooner.lol So this means you will have to check on my blog everyday for 2 years to see if I post it.JK I will put it up later today or tomorrow at the very latest.
Thank you (tear) for saying that you like my blog (tear). I feel pretty boring most of the time (tear) so having you say that (tear) is a joy to my heart (tear).

Your blog always leaves me laughing. I've loved it since I first found it - wish that had been sooner. If I had an award, I would give it to you - does that count? Maybe I'll just go make one up.
Your blog rocks.
A.) you are hilarious!
B.) thanks so much for the "shout out"
C.) if I knew how to send you an award (such a rookie), I would. you are the best :)
D.) if I can figure out how to send you an award, count on no reply from you and then figure out how to post your image - I promise I will!!!
Courtney

Do you sleep (much)?
Thanks for the love! {{Hugs}}
That is quite a list! Congrats on your award!
LOL! You crack me up. I don't know how you even have time to breathe, let alone make me laugh, but I love it. I have to take notes while I am reading your post to jot down the points of laughter. LOL. Congrats on the awards and thank you so much for mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the award! You are too funny! I was coming to comment to tell you I was giving you an award when I found this! LOL So I had to add to my post! So take a look at my blog to get your award, that you will never pass on! LOL
so glad that I gave ayou a good chuckle. The whole time I was making it, i was just feeling very silly and was hoping it would atleast bring a smile :)
In very true "you style", you made the best rules along with a fantastically perfect post!
Ok, rule #10, for every person who leaves me a comment after you send them my way, i am eating a piece of chocolate!
you are too funny. You should get an award for the funniest blog ever.
Too funny! I'm a little new to the awards, so I haven't sent many yet. I did get one recently and see you already have it, LOL. Thanks for the mention of my blog, I enjoy visiting you, too. :o)
mmmmm...chocolate!
Thanks for the award - hysterical! I am amazed that you were able to sit at your computer for God knows how long and type that HUGE list of links to other blogs. OH MY GOODNESS that's a lot of clicking, copying, and pasting. Girl, I think you need another award just for that.
Aww thanks for the love and the excuss to eat chocolate ;) You truly are and insperation.
You are hilarious. Seriously, though, give yourself a break, we all know that as a mom of 8, you've got your hands full. That you blog as often and as hilariously as you do is super impressive.
Oh this is great! I'm afraid to leave a link because I would probably take three years to post about an award. But big fat huge congratulations to you, Octamom, for earning the most original blogging award I've ever seen.
Too funny lady..so dang funny...
I need to catch up on my reading here. :)
Blessings!
ROFl finally well enough to be out of bed ;) Thans for the award roflmbo! Lady you crack me up :D
Holy cow, that must've taken some time to link! I'm going to award myself with the chocolate, I hope that's ok.
Ohmygoodness .. I see why you have no time to post awards.
You spend it all reading blogs! And raising children! You busy bee, you :o)
I am so glad you insisted on that piece of chocolate .. I need it after reading that list ;o) and methinks you need a few extra for linking them all!
Heading to the pumpkins still semi-full atop the fridge now...
Thankee ever so...and for the provision of blogs to visit! Knowing you (as I e-do!), I can only imagine the glee in store.
Am gonna post the handsome hybrid award and link it back yer way.
Peace, Octa!
PS LOVE me the Neuf-Mom (she is a hoot!) As a mom of merely twins, am I "bi-mom" or does that bring my sexual orientation into question?
Great award!
Thanks for the link love!
I love ya right back!
Great work! I only have 4 kids and am not quite sure how you are able to get all of this accomplished. A real role model! Just updated the Speech Banana posting on the 'Hears' to Life! blog. Feel free to use anything that you want from the website (150 columns posted so far) as long as you acknowledge where it came from so that my editors don't get upset! Don't get paid for any of it, just trying to give back a little! Blessings!
