Pajama Day...

It should not be that hard to stay in your pajamas all day!

I got the cutest ever Pajamas for Mother's Day, and decided that since today I had nowhere to go I was going to revel in their comfort all day long. I took the kids to school...in my jammies! (Then, while I was out, I remembered that Lee had called in a prescription refill to the WalGreens...So in sticking with my "comfy all day" plan, I may or may not have driven through their drive thru in said pajamas...! (Don't judge me...Only the pants REALLY look like jammas!)) Then I came home, and realized I needed to run to the store...No drive thru there...So I got dressed and headed out. (It was a WalMart...I probably could have pulled it off...! But come on, I've got SOME pride...)

Then I came home, determined as ever to lounge...Well, do some laundry...but VERY comfortably! But before sitting down to watch last night's American Idol (final 3...Yay!) episode I went to put the dinner together (Chicken Heavenly...Yum...It is aptly named!) and put it in the oven, but noticed I don't have any sour cream. Bah! Now I need to go put on REAL clothes again and go back to the store...But this is the last time. If I find myself needing to go out again, I'm just going to throw some rollers in my hair

(to complete the Pa-"glam"-a look!)

and make a run for it.

Sheesh. Pajama Day is really hard work!

Tater Sauce...

I was at work and came across a woman standing by the frozen foods.

"Excuse me!" she said. "I was just looking for the Tater Sauce. Do you know where that would be?"

I asked her to tell me again what she was looking for...Again, she replied that she was looking for Tater Sauce...And that's when I happened to glance behind her at the FROZEN FISH she was standing by...the stifling a chuckle, I replied,

"Tarter Sauce is down aisle 2!"

People are funny.

Something to Chuckle About!

I came across this hilarious video (Thanks to Sydney...She's always trying to look up new things on youtube, but silly me, I insist on parental guidance...) and haven't been able to quit giggling! :D This will link you to the first one, but if you've got the time, watch the other 3...Worth your time, I'd say!

They are clever, creative, and...well, FUNNY!

(Please watch...I can feel myself quoting already. The jokes just aren't as funny if I'm the only one who gets them!)

Ode to Mothers Everywhere...

Mom's Love

Love is scaring away monsters in the middle of the night, then again at 1:00 am, 2:00 am, 3:00 am,...

Love is reading the same bedtime story for the 999th time.

Love is a hug around the knees.

Love is watching Mr. Rogers instead of All My Children.

Love is a refrigerator covered with creative works of art.

Love is standing in line for 2 hours for Raffi tickets.

Love is not grimacing through the dirtiest of diapers.

Love is trading in the Camero for a station wagon.

Love is the magic kiss that heals all "owies".

Love is cuddly kid in a blanket sleeper.

Love is the first kick, first smile, first laugh, first step, first anything.

Love is your child pointing to a picture of Christie Brinkley and saying "mama".

Love is your child sound asleep, any child sound asleep.

Love is a macaroni necklace.

Love is wearing the macaroni necklace to church with pride.

Love is a peanut butter kiss, a syrup kiss, a chocolate kiss, any kind of kiss.

Love is a bouquet of dandelions.

Love is the smell of a baby's neck.

Love is saying "No" at the right times when it is easier to say "Yes".

Love is saying "Yes" at the right times when it is easier to say "No".

I appreciate the examples set for me by so many moms. My two moms, Kathy and Sydney, who between the two of them know everything, great Sisters-In-Law (Anna, Kendra, and Rhoda) who are amazing moms and wives, cousins (Natalie, Stephanie...) who have an amazing way with little ones...and I'm lucky enough to have so many fabulous women around (Jen, Heather, Kelly, Danna...well, this list could go on forever...!) who remind me to go ahead and be the FUN mom sometimes! Thank you to all of you, and I hope your Mother's Day is full of sticky surprises!

As for me, I'm so blessed to have a job I love so much! What more can I ask for than to know God, have a hubby who loves me and cares for me so well, and kids who (for now!) still call me:

"PER OSOMNIS"

(That's "Pure Awesomeness", for those of you who are not first graders!)

Happy, Happy Mother's Day!
