Today you get the blessings and then the picture. Sorta.

Blessings:

1. Funny, funny kids - Best explanation I've encountered for my gibberish: "So your mouth is overflowing with so many words that you can't make a real word?"

2. A clean bathroom. I finally took the time to clean my bathroom today. Whew. I have to do it whether I want to or not – before I cleaned it the last time Caleb was in there to take a shower and he looked around the bathroom for a while and then asked, “Mom, who cleans THIS bathroom?” Oops. Caught in my laziness by a 6-year-old.

3. Pinterest. When I need a little lift, or a few relaxing minutes I head over to Pinterest and browse through craft ideas, funnies, or my friends’ favorite things. It picks me right up!

4. Funny, funny parents. Here is an email my mother sent out yesterday -

“No matter what you may have heard, I did not steal a black, padded bra from the Stevensville thrift store. I went into the store in my power wheel chair (named Ben)and drove around the store looking at various things. After about 15 minutes  I decided  that there was nothing for me and after thanking the clerk, Ben and I drove out of the store and straight home, I parked Ben in his usual spot and went about my business. This morning while talking on the phone to a friend I spotted something hanging off the foot my resident flamingo. This flamingo rides on the back of Ben and has never caused a problem. Closer observation revealed that the flamingo was holding a black, padded bra, still on it's hanger. I swear I never saw that bra before and it certainly was not my size.

I didn't steal that bra, my flamingo did it!!

That's  my story and I'm sticking to it.”

5. Brownies. My husband makes very yummy brownies, and the kids didn’t eat all of them before I got any! Yay!
