Sailor Mouth *#$@!!

I hate to see people teach children to say bad things! I absolutely hate it, yet, my child has
decided on his own that he wants to say every bad word in the book. He's only four! He doesn't understand right? Except that he says them in the right context, tone, facial expression, etc. That is scary! Hilarious, but, not right. Something must be done, but, I am not sure what.
I know who I think are the culprits, but, really what can I say? Do you know how many bad words are in cartoons and children's movies? Watch one and count, you will be amazed! I have taken special toys away and it has made an impact, but, now he is bugging me about that. AAGGHHH! I can't win, so, what would Martha do? She would make a book with all kinds of ugly words in it that we can share with our loved ones. Each person can find the word that has special meaning to them and sign their name, or paste a picture of them so, the child will know
who says what. A good thing....stay far away from the person who is on every page. Sorry husband dear!

It's funny...

It's funny how things work out. It's funny how one day everything is going great, the next not so. It's funny how , in the midst of crisis, you can go to lunch with friends, shopping, a birthday party and still have a good time. It's funny how you can forget, for just a little while, that someone you care about is having a black cloud moment, or day or even weeks! It's funny how the most unlikely suspect will suddenly show she cares. And it's funny how a group of unrelated people, except through a job, can pull together and be such a great place of support and comfort. It's funny how life is. It's funny how things work out!

My illness

After catching the plague for the past five days, I found that I am desperate to find cures that are in my home. I have tried the old standbys, humidifier with added umph, which has made the house smell like a Vicks factory, saltwater gargles and gallons of orange juice. To no avail, I am still sick. So, I followed my husband's weird advice which was to dip a q-tip in Listerine and swap the inside of nose. I am desperate, so, I tried it. I have now burnt the inside of my nose so badly that I can't tell if I am conjested or not. Instead, I have found that I no longer have the ability to smell anything! Thanks honey, I love you! So, don't attempt this at home with others around to hear you scream.
