Monday funny

Scene: Monday morning, dining room, around 9:00 am (due to a school delay).

Me: feeding our betta fish, bleary eyed due to only 3 hours of sleep.

Princess: eating her breakfast of cottage cheese w/ pepper on it (BTW..does anyone eat it plain like me??)

Princess: "Mom what are you doing?"

Me: "Watching the fish eat."

Princess: She comes over to watch..a few seconds later....she says.. "I don't think fish have buttcracks."

Me: Laughing.."What??"

Princess: "Well they don't. Fish don't have buttcracks. I'm just sayin."


Where does this child come up with these?

Can I just say..

Flannel PJs and hot chocolate on a cold evening are the best...don't care if it is only 6 pm.

If this show is in your area, you must go see it. During these tough times, we all need good family fun! You can check the tour locations here: http://www.chittyontour.com/

PS..I have a dear long lost friend in the show!

old friends

Sometimes there are people in our lives who you remember no matter where the road has taken them. I have a few friends like that. You keep them in your thoughts and prayers no matter what. You may have only exchanged occasional cards as the years have gone by, but they still hold a part of you. Sometimes you think of them daily and hope that someday you can reconnect.

I have one particular friend like that. I worked with him over 20 years ago..GASP..I'm getting old. We worked together at Christmas and it was something that has been forever imprinted on me. Every Christmas that I have celebrated since I have thought of him.."The Ghost of Christmas Present" and the others that I hold in my heart from that time. I give a silent toast and wish them all health and happiness.

Then suddenly one day..you find that this long lost friends will be in your area..even working the same place as your dear husband. You must send a note to reconnect and hope that he too remembers with fond memories.

Here is to old friends. May they forever warm your heart and give you a smile on a cold winter day. May we all have the chance to reconnect. Friends are happiness, support, love, and life!

My sisters

I sat on that hospital floor waiting..wondering..hoping and then...out came the nurses...
She is my sister
I held her when she was a baby, she laughed, she cried, she peed.
She is my sister.
Along came another..who... we were told all along... was a boy..LOL...surprise!
They are my sisters.
I watched them every summer instead of hanging with friends.
They are my sisters.
I cried when I left for college..far away..they were young.
They are my sisters.
I grew up and moved even farther away..chasing my dreams. I occasionally lost touch but..
They are my sisters.
Hardships were endured..friends change..parents change but through it all
They are my sisters.
We are older..maybe wiser ?..LOL....we grew up but are still kids..
They are my sisters.
I live far away but we talk often..I think of them weekly, daily, sometimes hourly because..
They are my sisters.
One shares her secrets..we still love her..
She is our Lesbian sister.
I am proud of both of them.
I am proud to be their sister..
Through it all..love endures no matter the time or distance.
They are and will always be MY SISTERS.
