Favorite 4 My Friday

My favorite part of a storm ...is AFTER the storm and you look into the sky and see one of these, it is one of the most spectacular light shows you will ever see

Thought 4 My Thursday

You've got to trust your instincts
And let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star,
'Cause that's your best bet

Part of the Lyrics to "All Mixed Up" by 311

IF DR SEUSS WAS A WOMAN

I'm glad I'm a woman -Yes I am, yes I am.
I don't live on Budweiser, Beer nuts and Spam.
I don't brag to my buddies about my erections;
I won't drive to Hell before asking directions.

I act nice at parties; don't act like a clown;
And I know how to put the damn toilet seat down.
I won't grab your boobies; I won't pinch your butt.
My belt is not hidden beneath my beer gut.

I don't go around re-adjusting my crotch;
or make sure my headboard bears each hard-earned notch.
I don't belch in public; don't scratch my behind.
I'm a woman, you see- I'm just not that kind!

I'm glad I'm a woman; So glad I could sing--
and thrilled I'm not covered in shag carpeting.
Hair won't grow from my ears, Or cover my back.
And when I bend over You can't see my crack.

I'm a woman, alas-- and I'm proud, don't you see?
I'm blessed to have two boobs and squat when I pee.
I don't live for golf, or shoot basketball.
I don't swagger and spit like a Neanderthal.

I don't need male bonding; I don't cruise for chicks--
I'll never join the "Hair Club", or think with my dick.
I'm a woman, by chance And thankful I am!
I'm so glad I'm a woman, Not a man, yes I am!

And we all know who the carrier is !!!!

dog poop!!!!!

We have a dog...which can at times be nice to have around although our dog is kind of well uhhh lets just say he is NOT the smartest dog on the block!!!!! But we will save that gripe for another time...this one is about dog poop!!! Normally "brody" poops in one general location or at least when Im watching him he does....ok I dont make a habit out of watching him poop...he just tends to get into things like the flower garden or finding a new way out of the back yard so at times I have to keep an eye on him to make sure he is doing what he is suppose to be doing.


So today he is out there barking at something and for the life of me I cant see a damn thing...so I go walking out there to investigate what it is thats got this dog all in an uproar......well I know where it is that "brody" poops and he isnt barking over in that area so I assume Im safe....WRONG....there it was just waiting for "ME" to step in it...and of course I did!!!! GRRRRRR!!! I HATE stepping in dog poop!!!! I think Dogs should learn to put up warning signs

Or they need to learn to pick it up themselves!!!!


or I need to invest in some of this and teach the dog to use it!!!


oh and the real topper ...the reasons I went out there in the first place....the dog was barking at one of his own chew toys !!!!! OHHHHH THATS NICE!!!!

Do you have saggy nuts???

Toon 4 My Tuesday

To my mom....I miss you

My mom died 10 1/2 years ago after a 6 year battle with cancer she was only 49. This is for her:

Mom I thought about you today,
I can’t believe it’s been ten years
I miss you more with each passing day
I still can’t seem to stop my tears

It's been many years now, Mom,
since the day you went away;
Yet it seems like just last night,
I watched you fade away.

Mom, when you closed your eyes,
I knew my heart would break.
So many things we didn’t do
so many trips we didn’t take.

I miss all the things you did for me
the things we did together
all the thing we should have done
but I thought we had forever

I made so many promises to you
I said I would give you the moon
If only you could stay one more day
And not go away so soon

For now I go on missing you
And wishing you where here
To see the wonderful love I’ve found
To see the grandsons you held so dear

We make sure they know about you
We’ve taught them you live inside their heart
They are everything you knew they'd be
Beautiful, loving and smart

You are our special guardian angel
To help us along life’s path
For though we try to hold it close
The time is going much to fast

Mom I know I said I’m missing you
And the life you left behind
But your legacy reverberates in song
You “Loved a lot in your time”

A little humor for the MOMMIES

Mommy Jokes

• While assembling furniture, Mary asked her roommate's five-year-old son to bring her a screwdriver. "Do you want a 'Daddy' screwdriver or a 'Mommy' screwdriver?" the little boy asked. Confused with the question, Mary said, "Bring me a 'Mommy' screwdriver." The child came back and handed her a butter knife.

• For weeks, a six-year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house. One day, the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event. The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said, "Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?" Tommy burst into tears and confessed, "I think Mommy ate it!"

• A mother and her young son returned from the grocery shop and began putting away the groceries. The boy opened the box of animal crackers and spread them all over the table. "What are you doing?" his mother asked. "The box says you can't eat them if the seal is broken," the boy explained. "Therefore I'm looking for the seal", he cutely said.

A small boy is sent to bed by his mother...

Evolution of Mom

The Evolution of Mom

Yes, parenthood changes everything. But parenthood also changes with each baby. Here, some of the ways having a second and third child differs from having your first:

Your Clothes -

1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy.

2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.

3rd baby: Your maternity clothes are your regular clothes.

The Baby's Name -

1st baby: You pore over baby-name books and practice pronouncing and writing combinations of all your favorites.

2nd baby: Someone has to name their kid after your great-aunt Mavis, right? It might as well be you.

3rd baby: You open a name book, close your eyes, and see where your finger falls. Bimaldo? Perfect!

Preparing for the Birth -

1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.

2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing.

3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.

The Layette -

1st baby: You prewash your newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.

2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.

3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?

Worries -

1st baby: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown - you pick up the baby.

2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.

3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.

Activities -

1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour.

2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.

3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.

Going Out -

1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 times.

2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.

3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.

At Home -

1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.

2nd baby: You spend a bit of every day watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.

3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.

The Stages Of Motherhood

Here is a light hearted presentation of what we all think about our moms, at different points of our lives.

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 really know quite everything.
14 Years Of Age -Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either
16 Years Of Age -Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned
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

Who is a better mother?

Toons 4 My Tuesday

Its coming back!!!

I’ve always noticed that things in pop culture seem to cycle around. It seems like everything runs in 20 year cycles. Not long ago, I noticed a revival of 1980s culture coming back into the mainstream. It’s so funny thinking back to the clothes we wore in high school and seeing them on the girls of today.

Remember the big hair, shoulder pad jackets, and tights? But I never ever thought that one thing would ever be back in style, and it’s something I saw while shopping LEGWARMERS! Oh my god! Olivia Newton John, where are you? How on earth did that ever come back into vogue?

Leg warmers were extremely popular in the early 1980’s as it was a fashionable icon for teenage girls. The craze certainly picked up due to the influence of films like Fame and Flashdance had on them. They were typically worn with leggings, jeans and tights.

Today this fashion piece is often worn over tights or leggings and matched with a short or long skirt. It can also be worn over jeans depending on the style. The great thing about leg warmers today is that they can be worn with just about any type of shoes including flip flops.

It just reinforces the idea that every 10 years, the last decade is so uncool (is it cool to say cool?) and every 20 years, the old styles come back into fashion. I remember in the 80s, disco was way out, and in the 90s it made a resurgence. Now it’s the 2000s and the 1980s are back in style. Excuse me while I go see if I can find my leggings, my acid wash jeans,my parachute pants, my layered socks, my jellies, and my swatch watch. Oh you know they are all coming back..you just wait!!!
