One legged man
I was watching a T.V. commercial while over my parents home tonight, I said “Awwww that man has one leg!” My dad immediately jumps in conversation with “That’s nothing, I see dogs hopping around with just three legs all the time!”
5 ways to get rid of visual chaos
1. Staring, jumping, avoiding it, isn’t going to make the clutter disappear, so get off your bum & pick it up, cause I can bet you, no one else in your home will do it. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t bother anyone but you. 2. Good rule of thumb, if you or family member hasn’t worn it, in one…
Carpooling & Orange cones
Everyday I drop off & pick up my child at school. They have large, bright orange cones set out in a special pattern for carpoolers’ to follow (so us ding-dong, mothers in the giant vehicles, don’t hit a kid) doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. But somehow every single day, the orange cones are spread…
Plumber & Paw paw “I’ll take one for the team!”
The plumber was visiting my dads house a few years ago. Regular occurrence in the neighborhood because it was built around Pecan orchards. I was over visiting, no big surprise.

It all started with the Eye Doctor!
Image via Wikipedia The day began so normal, even for me.

When hubby is asleep, the wife will play!
My hubby falls asleep hours before me every evening. So I usually get plenty of quality ME time.

He doesn’t realize it, but after he’s fallen…
Calgon take mommy away #1!
It’s hard to be a mommy sometimes, it doesn’t matter what age your kids are, it doesn’t get easier. No one ever tells you this, not your mom, grandma or even your neighbor. Books aren’t much help either, they make it sound as if raising kids is a joy, pleasure, even at times easy, like…

Panties & my hubby
