Thoughts About Our Kids

There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it.

Chinese Proverb: Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like clearing your driveway in the middle of a snowstorm.

Mothers of teens are the only ones that KNOW why animals eat their young.

I asked Mom if I was a gifted child... she said they certainly wouldn't have paid for me.

Children are natural mimics, who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school clothes.

The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children out there more awful than your own.

We childproofed our home 3 years ago and they're still getting in!

Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your children.

When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool a Mom.

I love to give homemade gifts... which one of my kids do you want?

Anyone who says 'Easy as taking candy from a baby' has never tried it.

Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and shut-up!

Everyday

Everyday you make me smile
You let me know you care.
You help me see the good in things.
And for me you're always there.

Everyday You ease my pain,
And help me through my day.
You let me know I'm not alone,
You teach me love that way.

Everyday I say a prayer
To keep you safe and free.
And everyday is filled with hope,
That you'll spend time with me.

Everyday you show me love
Wanting nothing back from me.
You let me know you are my friend
And keep me company.

Everyday I look around
Even when my life's a mess.
Knowing in my heart of hearts
My friends are just the best.

Everyday I thank the Lord
For having given me
The very best that I can have,
That is, all my friends, you see!

For You

A fire to light inside your heart,
to feel the warm embers glow.
A piece of the sun's warm rays,
to bask in it's firey show.

A piece of a rainbow to color your world,
when all seems totally gray.
Some roses for the sweet perfume,
to kiss your senses with its bouquet.

A sprinkling of some twinkling stars,
to wish upon at night.
The morning dew to kiss the day.
To bask in it's delight.

A summer's breeze to caress your face,
to show that someone cares.
The sweet song of the nightingale,
to remind you that they're always there.

My lasting friendship, always true.
A gift of love to hold inside,
whenever you feel blue,
or just because you need a friend.
This friend... that will always be there
for you!!

Today's Post

Fact: 50% of the doctors practicing in this country today graduated in the lower half of their class.

Doctor: "Mrs. Larson, you're not going deaf in your left ear, you seem to have a suppository stuck in there."

Mrs. Larson: "Well now I know what happened to my hearing aid."

Medical Examiner's Findings:

1. The patient didn't die of anything serious.

2. The man had never been fatally ill before.

3. Cause of death is unknown as patient died
without the aid of a doctor.

4. Went to bed feeling on top of the world,
but when he woke up he was dead.

5. The cause of death was an act of God
under very suspicious circumstances.

6. The patient died in a state of perfect health

Actual Doctors' Names

Dr. Barker...Veterinarian

Dr. Hacker...Surgeon

Dr. Skinner...Dermatologist

Dr. Butt...Gastroenterology

If you've got your health, you've got everything.
And if you don't have your health,
sooner or later your doctor has everything.

I've been thinking about you and...

I wish we could sit together
And have a cup of tea.
But since we can't,
When you get this cup
I hope you will think of me.

Friends are like four leaf clovers,
hard to find, lucky to have.

I value the friend who for me
finds time on his calendar.
I cherish the friend who for me
does not consult his calendar.

If I could reach up and hold a star
for each time you've made me smile,
the entire evening sky would
be in the palm of my hand.

Friendship Secrets

A friend's secret is a precious gift,
Once entrusted to you,
it must be kept forever.

True friendship is a fabric
That nothing can unravel.

A true friend...
Never sits in judgment.

Break a promise to a friend,
and you have lost something
irreplaceable within yourself.

Sometimes tact is needed
When telling the truth.

The safety net of friendship
Will catch you when you fall.

Despair thrives on solitude,
Your sorrows will grow smaller
As soon as you share them with a friend.

Cell Phone Rules

The Ten Commandments of Cell Phones

1. Thou shalt not subject defenseless bystanders to cell phone
conversations. When people cannot escape the banality of
your conversation—on a plane, train, bus, cab, or at a restaurant—
spare them. We are just not interested, you boorish twit.

2. Thou shalt not set thy ringer to play "La Cucaracha" every
time thy phone rings. Or Beethoven's Fifth, or the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive,"
or any other annoying melody. Is it not enough that your phone goes off every other second? In addition, any phone that announces
"INCOMING CALL" should be tossed in a toilet.

3. Thou shalt turn thy cell phone off during public performances,
in theaters, during speeches and meetings, family dinners,
at weddings and funerals and on first dates.

4. Thou shalt not wear more than two wireless devices on thy belt.
Techno-jockeys attempting to look like they are
carrying Batman utility belts are not cool.

5. Thou shalt not dial while driving. This madness must stop.
Put the phone down and just drive. There are enough people in the
world who have problems mastering driving a vehicle by itself.

6. Thou shalt not wear thy earpiece in the presence of thy friends
and coworkers. This is similar to wearing headphones
connected to a CD player—it's just rude.

7. Thou shalt not speak louder on thy cell phone than thou
would on any other phone. Phones have sensitive microphones,
and it's gotten to the point where you can tell if someone is
calling from a mobile phone simply by their volume of speaking,
not how it sounds. If your signal cuts out, speaking louder won't help.

8. Thou shalt not grow too attached to thy cell phone.
For obvious reasons, an addictive dependency on being constantly
"in touch" is not healthy. At work, go nuts.
Away from work, give it (and the rest of us) a rest.

9. Thou shalt not display thy cell phone on a restaurant table just in
case it may ring. This is not the Old West, and you are not a
gunslinger sitting down to a game of five-card stud in a
Dodge City saloon. Be a little less conspicuous. If it rings,
you'll hear it just as easily if it's in your pocket, purse or "holster."

10. Thou shalt not attempt to impress with thy mobile phone.
Not only is using a cell phone no longer impressive \
(unless, of course, it's one of those really cool new phones
with the space-age "Matrix" design, interchangeable
multi-colored face with a laser-linked heads-up viewer
and solar battery charger), but when it is used to impress,
said user shall be immediately identified as a jerk.
