Digital Kids

Kids these days are not only gadget savvy but they are quite the social media generation. On Facebook I am friends with some of my friends kids and even one friend of Gael's who is 9. So far none of them are on twitter or have blogs so I save the cursing and R rated material for you lucky blog readers and twitter followers. It shouldn't be long before the next generation start their own digital campaign to rule the world.

The earthlings do not have any social media accounts and I want to hold it off as long as possible. Gael had wanted a Facebook account last year because his friends play games there but he seems to have forgotten about it and I sure as hell am not the one going to remind him about it. When they were toddlers they always wanted to see their pictures on the digital camera viewers right after I took their picture. Now every time I take a picture of the boys they ask me if I am going to post it on Facebook or on my blog. I get cheers of YES! when I say I will and sheer disappointment when I tell them otherwise. Ah so naive, they are too young and self absorbed to understand that some things are just not social media worthy. On a three hour car ride over the weekend Aiden started sucking his toes out of sheer boredom. I quickly took a picture and announced I was going to post it online thinking he would die of embarrassment. Instead he yelled YEAH! You do that Mama! Some days they even want to check if anyone commented on their pictures.  

So I guess I shouldn't worry about them complaining of their pictures and anecdotes that I post on this blog at the moment.  I'm guessing that once they get online and realize that anything posted is open to the world's scrutiny with chances of going viral, they surely will change their minds. They will probably ban me from sharing any slanderous stories, embarrassing comments and unfavorable photographs of theirs. I may have to send them drafts of status updates, tweets and blog posts for approval. They may even start their own blog. A blog about two boys having to live with a crazy mother that has blasted their lives to the blogosphere.  If they do, I hope they link to my questionable posts and give me some traffic.   It's the least they can do.

6 Going On 16

Next month Gael turns 7 but is feeling more like a teenager on the inside.  He has always been on the vain side, picking out his own outfits when he was two and ridiculously particular about his hair.  But now he no longer picks the Ben10 or Power Rangers shirts.  He wants the hipster checkered shirts, the latest hi cut Nike trainers, all the Googoo&gaga shirts, ripped jeans and hoodies with skulls on them.  I'm going to spend a fortune on this guy's wardrobe when he actually becomes a teenager.  On the bright side at least there is one other Guerrero that loves to shop. 

The Sangobion Mommy Blogger Awards

 Nope, you didn't read this post's title wrong.  I actually am nominated for real mommy blogger awards on Smart Parenting Online. The folks at Smart Parenting and Sangobion must be totally cool or completely out of their minds to even consider me for this blog award. If you've been here before then you already know that I curse here, there and everywhere, I've told my children they came out of my vagina PLUS I've taught them the proper pronunciation of the word vagina and the main objective of this blog is to have blackmail material for earthlings with when they are older.  I also get way too many blog hits from searches for big Pinay boobs, penis massage and soccer mom sex.  Content is key, right?

Fist pump in the air for wild moms everywhere!!!

Three bloggers with the most votes will get prizes.  The prizes include an iPad, P10,000 worth of GCs and an overnight stay at Hotel Sofitel.  I have three MAJOR reasons why you SHOULD vote for me.

1. If I win an iPad I will definitely be the earthlings' favorite parent for at least three years.
2. If I win a night at Sofitel I won't have to spend anything for my wedding anniversary celebration this year. 
3. If I win 10k in GCs I can use them for essentials like gas or groceries then use what I save to buy me new shoes.

Now here is how to vote:

1. Register for the contest on Smart Parenting Online here. 
2. Validate your account through the confirmation email they will be sending you. 
3. VOTE! You can vote thrice for a nominee in a day. So click the VOTE button thrice when you are there to make the most out of it. 

As an added bonus for your time and effort, if I win I promise to post a picture of myself in a super mommy costume just like the banner up there.
