A little bit of Humor...

We've been busy with restocking our products and planning out our 2010 product line up. Not to mention we've also had some major upheavals since the beginning of the year that have put us a little behind schedule, but we're pushing through, just like always.

And because those dark & frustrating times ALWAYS look better with a little laughter, I want to leave this with you....

• Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?" The mother replied, "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life." The child thought about this for a moment then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"

• A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for bible class. As she ran she prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!" While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed herself off, and started running again. As she ran she once again began to pray, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late.... But please don't shove me either!"

• A police recruit was asked during the exam, "What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?" He answered, "Call for backup."

• This one is true in our house..... A Sunday School teacher discussed the Ten Commandments with her five & six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'Honor they father and they mother,' she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."

And from my own children....

• This past Sunday, my boys learned about creation and Adam & Eve in their Sunday School classes. We like to talk about what they've learned so that we can help them retain some of that knowledge. We asked our boys, "Who were the first people created on the Earth?" Our 7 year old piped up, "Eve!" We said, "Good job! Who else was created along with Eve?" Our 6 year old chimed in, "Wally!" ...Um.... I think our kids may be watching too many Disney Pixar movies! LOL! So now you all know, that if Walt Disney had created the Earth, the first two beings would have been named Wally & Eve.

Mommy to Mom to Mother

REAL MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche, they don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up...

Real Mothers sometimes ask "Why me?" And get their answers when a little voice says, "Because I love you best!"

Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade... It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother.....


The Images of Mother

4 Years of Age - My Mommy can do anything!

8 Years of Age - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 Years of Age - My Mother doesn't know everything!

14 Years of Age - My Mother? She wouldn't have a clue!

16 Years of Age - Mother? She's so five minutes ago.

18 Years of Age - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 Years of Age - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 Years of Age - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 Years of Age - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 Years of Age - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.


The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Lesson & Laugh of the Day

I LOVE funny blogs. Seriously, absolutely LOVE them! There's nothing better on a blah day than to head over to my short list of funny blogs and be immediately cheered up. Heck, I even have a column on my TweetDeck called 'Humor'. This was good enough that I just HAD to share it!

I'm married to a very handy man. Changing oil is easy for him. I have even helped him completely replace a car engine. Let me tell you, there seriously is something very hot about a man covered in car grease who knows what he's doing underneath the hood of a car. But I digress! (fans self!)

Anyway.....

Even HE sees the advantage of delegating things out to people who have the skills & tools to do them properly and efficiently. YES, there are many things we could do for ourselves. But sometimes, it's better to let the pros do it!!!
