Pictures from my patio

This weekend

bask in the sun

enjoy the breeze

smell the flowers

Take time to slow down and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

I double dog dare you!!!

Super Mom

Went to the farm the other day.

Saw this frog with all those babies.

Thought it was a good representation of the way I've been feeling.

Overwhelmed.

Hubby's been sick and not participating in the family unit.

That leaves me solely responsible EVERYTHING!

Including playing nurse lady to hubby.

Life's been handing me a lot of challenges.

I feel like this frog.

So much responsibility surrounding me.

For some reason, when I hit a point of "too much"

my creative, sarcastic, comedic side kicks in.

I was thinking I should make myself a satin cape.

I could put a big "S" and "M" on the back for 

SUPER MOM.

Heck! If I made it pretty enough, perhaps other moms would want one.

It would make a great gift. 

I could start a Super Mom cape business!

Then the reality of a bunch of mom's running around with

an "S" and an "M' on their backs kicked in.

Yeah. We might be taken the wrong way.

ha ha ha ha!!!

Get it?

S&M?

ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Okay. Maybe it's just me.

I thank God for my quirky, immature side.

Sometimes it's the only thing that gets me through!

Although those are the same traits that cause some to run from me far and fast!

What about you?

What gets you through?

The Overachiever

I purchase my eggs from local farmers.

Yesterday I made scrambled eggs for the kids.

This is what I pulled from the carton.

The comedian in me started laughing and thought,

"Wow! Looks like we have an overachiever in the coop!"

The philosopher in me thought,

"Nature at its best is perfectly imperfect. We should accept ourselves the same."

Today I say to you, "Go live your life and live it loud. Don't try to be perfect,

just be. And if you push real hard, you just might achieve greatness!"

Egg humor wrapped in wisdom especially for you.
