The Mommy Test

I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.

"Why?" my daughter asked."Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Mommy, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."I was thinking quickly. "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy."

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.

"OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test, you have to be the daddy." "Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face.


My own mother sent this to me. I thought it was to cute not to share with the other mothers out there.

Hope everyone one of you has a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Construction Zone

My house has once again turned into a construction zone. Not that I mind really, I guess it's for a greater good. Since we have moved into this house we have changed a lot of things about it. Built new walls, put in new flooring (more than once), painted the walls (more than once, but only cause we didn't like the color once it was on the walls) and now we are in the process of putting new doors in. I think that the doors are going to look great but it is a lot of work just getting prepared to put them in. You have to rip out all of the old doors and live without them for a few days. Because putting new doors in is not done in a day. My hubby does this everyday at work and he says you have to set them, then paint them, then rehang them and make sure everything is lined up just right so that they close the way they are supposed to. Well I don't know that much about it so I guess I will leave the technical stuff up to him and get out my paint brush.
I will have to figure out how to post pics to the blog so that I can show the finished product.

I guess that will be all for now. I have places to go, things to do and a daughter to see.
