Walls and Stitches

Ok so it is a bit blurry but you get the idea. Rorie decided to chase our kitten Blazer and ran into the wall. BLOOD EVERYWHERE!

7 stitches later! You can see the blood in her hair. There was lots of it everywhere. We just got new insurance and Lyle had the cards so i had to go to KU and get them from him before I could go to the doctor's office. How is it as a parent to Jacob and Jensen who have hit their heads and every other body part they are not the ones I have ever had to take to have stitched up? Just Rayah at age 3 for her finger and now Rorie at age 3. This is our first major wound and head wound for sure. She should have a nice scar. I guess she'll always have bangs?

Spa Day

So with all of the peaches I forgot to tell everyone about my Girl's Day out with my mom, sister, Michelle and sister-in-law, Molly. For Mother's Day we went in together and got my mom a spa gift certificate. Our husbands as brilliant as they are realized that my mom would never go by herself. So they got all us girls one. We finally managed to get our schedules together and went the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. I wanted to take pictures but never did. We went to breakfast first at Morning Glory in Ashland. It was very yummy. Huge portions. Then we went to the Pheonix Spa. Mom and Michelle decided to get Pedicures. Molly and I were all about the massage. So as pedicures are fairly self explanitory and I didn't do that I will tell you about the massage! We got into the robe they provided and they took us to do a foot soak. Then we got our feet massaged while we picked the essential oil scents we liked. Molly and I both were about the cinnamon and vanilla. So after 10 minutes of foot massage we went to get the rest of us done. It was SO relaxing. There aren't words............ The only thing I can say is that I want to do it again. The whole body this time as I just did my back half. 30 minutes of bliss!! So needless to say my husband racked up major points with that one. Any husbands reading this go and get your wife a massage. You know she deserves it. IT WAS AMAZING!!!
Then we went lunch at the Apple Cellar. It was yummy! Check it out if you are in Ashland.

Just a thought for today (I emailed this to some of you)

GOD CREATED CHILDREN

(AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)


To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, Grandchildren, Nieces, Nephews, Or students.....

Here is something to make you chuckle.

Whenever your children are out of control, You can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children.

After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.

And the first thing he said was 'DON'T! '



'Don 't what ?' Adam replied.

'Don't eat the forbidden fruit' God said
'Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit?
Hey Eve, we have forbidden fruit!'

' No Way!'
'Yes way!'

'Do NOT eat the fruit! ' Said God.

'Why ?'
'Because I am your Father and I said so ! ' God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.

A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked!

'Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?' God asked.

'Uh huh,' Adam replied.
'Then why did you?' Said the Father.
'I don't know,' said Eve
'She started it!' Adam said.
'Did not!'
'Did too!'

'DID NOT !'

Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own.

Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.


If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.
3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.
4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.
6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

ADVICE FOR THE DAY:

Be nice to your kids.

They will choose your nursing home one day ;

AND FINALLY:

IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE, DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:

'TAKE TWO ASPIRIN' AND 'KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN'!!!!!
