and the winner is….

Not me.
Excuse me for a moment while I bawl my eyes out.
*a minute*
Okay, so let me just say…I did win a place. I think last place, but whatever, I still placed.  
And since I placed…allow me to share my acceptance speech.  Since I wasn’t the big winner, I had to make a few edits, but still, I think you’ll appreciate it.  
First I’d like to thank God. Because without him I wouldn’t be here today.

And of course, Momversations, for having such a great contest in which I could hope for a week that my dream of being included in the panel could possibly come true.

And to my kids, for being so innocent in those first few moments of your life.  If I hadn’t experienced such perfection I might never have taken you home.  I mean, had something so sweet and pure to share with the world.  Or at least with those who watched my video.

And my deepest thanks to my dear husband for the shoes. Oh, and for holding my hair while I threw up all throughout pregnancy and childbirth. Because had my hair smelled like puke, I might never have been able to enjoy that incredible moment of love between me and my babies.

But most importantly….to my fans. My readers. Mi familia. Le friends of moi. You. And you and all the rest of you for taking the time to watch and vote.

And while my dream has yet to be acheived, I will continue to hold onto hope.  As the ever so wise Wilson Phillips once they sang:

“The dream is still alive. 
The one of you and I
and my heartache is healing. 
I couldn’t let it die. 
No, I knew it would survive. 
The dream is still alive.”
I love you all. Here’s to you!
And now, for the encore presentation of Summer’s Favorite Mom Moment:

  1. I watched your video. I even voted for you 🙂 Even if you’re not on Momversations, you’re still a great mom and you still have great kids!

  2. Alright thats it! Direct me to the complaint department! Someone didnt add up the votes right I just know it. I demand a recount!

  3. So what did you win? Is it a pony? If it’s a pony I’m coming to Cali sooner than I had originally planned.

  4. I voted, apparently they didnt get the memo that mine was the only one that counted. Bastards. Well, perhaps you are destined to win something bigger, and better…

  5. Aww… too bad there couldn’t be 2 winners… I loved watching your video, and you’re so right… innocent and pure… nothing as special as that moment when you meet your babies for the first time! 🙂

  6. Blasphemy! Shenanigans! Blasphanigans and shenanemy!

    I’m sorry you didn’t win. But your speech was still very lovely. 🙂

  7. I thought your video was lovely, and I swear I did my part by voting. You’re still first place in my heart 🙂

  8. Sorry you did not win. I voted for you. But you are still a winner in my eyes.

  9. Are you kidding me. Momversations is missing out. I may boycott for this. Well, I probably won’t, but its the thought that counts right?

  10. Stupid set up panel…I think you should demand a recount! I know I voted for the best one!

  11. Aww, you took it like a pro!
