Boni Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 ROFLOL :P Oh to be young again. That brought tears to my eyes! Especially number 20! How many times I sent my daughters back in to the house to change from flip flops to boots before mowing the lawn. I had this picture in my mind----my youngest dropped a huge rock on her toe when she was three, it tore the whole big toenail off! Blood, tears, and she couldn't move! I had to run to her. Terrible to laugh at it now. I always asked myself, "What in the world was she doing picking up a rock that big?" Just what was she going to do with a rock that big?" Thanks for the laugh. Happy Mother's Day to you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltlover03 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I could hear my mother there for a second, and if I were to pass it on to my daughters....well, we\\ll leave that alone. Thanks for the chuckle though. Happy Mother's Day, may all your choice be a simple as choosing Bubbles or Bath salts, I know I will use both, just because!

Bonnie Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I saw something today that made me stop and think and then a huge smile. Wash your hands and say your prayers often. Because germs and Jesus are everywhere...... Made me think....and I like those moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Heilman Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Wow! It's true, we all become our mother! When I stop laughing, I'm going to forward this to my daughter who is celebrating her first Mother's Day. Bonnie, I love your remembrance! I'm going to use it with the grandkids- what a great legacy to pass on! Wishing everyone a wonderful Mother's Day- do something for your self!!
