What, Me? Stressed?

No way, no how.

Hold on a minute - I think I see some lightening in the distance. Wait a minute while I take cover.

The kids returned to school this week, which meant that I started back to work this week. I have all six kids in full day school - one in PreK, one in Kindergarten, two in grade school, one in middle and a junior in high school. We also started back with cross country/band/soccer, and we continued the year round martial arts. I’m trying to write a book, blog daily, have a relationship with my family and meet the needs of each of the shining different personalities in the house. We’ve made numerous trips to the bookstore/grocery store/office supply store/uniform shop/sporting goods store, and I’m currently staring eight loads of laundry and two sets of dishes down. It’s a stare to the death, I tell you.

Everywhere I go, I see other parents in the same shape. We’d greet each other with a sign of solidarity, but we are too insanely stressed. It’s a wonder that there aren’t more bald Mommies running around - those “last minute” items are enough to drive a mom certifiable. Some days, I think if just one more thing goes wrong, I’m going to commit a crime - any crime - just so I can go to prison. After all, I’d be able to sleep, right? And I’d be responsible for no one else!

So, as stressed as we all are, I’d like to offer a relief. A pampering. NO, I canNOT send Hans the magic masseuse to your house - but I CAN offer you nice, smooth hands, especially handy (hahaha!) with winter and dry indoor heat fast approaching. I’m giving away a Mary Kay Satin Hands Pampering Set. I’ve got one and I love it - this set really rocks.

How can you win? It’s simple. Leave me a comment here for one entry. Join Zwaggle for a second entry. Blog about Zwaggle for yet another entry.

And get ready to enjoy your soft, smooth hands - they really do help.

We just moved from Oklahoma to Iowa and the water up here is terrible. My skin has dried out something terrible. This would be awesome!

All those fun summer activites have dried my skin out - I’d LOVE some pampering for my hands!

Oooh, I used a friend’s set once and LOVED how it left my hands! That’s not always easy with the eczema I have to deal with. Count me in, please and thank you!

I can feel the moisutre leaving my hands as the temperature drops… Ugh.

I love giving mani/pedis to my sister and SILs; this would be awesome to be able to share with them.

What is this “pampering” about? I’ve heard other women mention it, but they didn’t have children so I was a little confused! My youngest is in a size 5, I’m sure she’d appreciate satin hands as I change her these last few weeks before we graduate to the “big potty” LOL

I would absolutely LOVE to pamper my hands. I can’t believe you have so few entries!

Hi Carmen, I have followed you here from your blog Mom to the Screaming Masses. I love the MK Satin Hands collection! I haven’t bought any for so long. Money has been really tight and other priorities have come first. I would really appreciate the set and would use it often. Pinkie pampering promise.

Hi Carmen! I LOVE your other blog and check it daily for updates. I would love to be entered for this giveaway please. :)

Oh how the washing of dishes and washing of clothes and washing of little bottoms will dry out your hands! I remember the days Pre-Children when my friends and I would sit around pampering, chatting, watching television, blah blah, and a beloved friend once had the MK hand set and it was luxurious. What a sweet idea to offer one as a gift… thanks for the opportunity! :) Jennifer
