Att: mothers! YES you!

I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: ''Checkout Time is 18 years.'' ~ Erma Bombeck

Tattle telling:

Fashion:

Bedtime etiquette:
Mckenzie: Mom I cant sleep in my bed the coyote will eat me.
Me: mckenzie there is no coyote in our house
Kenzie: mom it will come in our house and eat me
Me: I locked the doors
Kenzie: so
Me: I don't give the keys out to coyotes
Kenzie: It will come through my window
Me: it cant your upstairs
Kenzie: well it will come in downstairs and go upstairs and eat me
Me: if it comes in downstairs it would eat me and your dad first then it will be to full and leave.
( it worked)




When the going gets tough, I tell myself...... someday they will be changing my diapers and feeding and dressing me........ they will get their payback then! 



All mothers differ greatly. But we all have ONE thing in common: God gave us the best gift of all....
