Baby Shower Card


Using one of my Bella stamps along with the pretty ribbon I bought at Michael's "while shopping with my sister". ;-)

NEW DO!!!

OK! So I couldn't handle the long locks anymore. I decided to get it cut short again. And Boy Oh Boy do I feel better!!! I think I overed the desire to grow it out now! LOL

OBX





We had a wonderful trip to the Outerbanks! The weather was spectacular and the skies as beautiful as always. No matter how many times I visit the OBX, I am in awe of the skies! We also discovered how much our little Odie loves the beach!
We stayed in a pet friendly motel, a first for us. The first night, poor little Odie was so timid and uncomfortable. The second night, he was a little more confident and it was cute to watch him walking down the hall of the hotel as if he owned the place! He even knew exactly which room was ours.
We found an awesome campground in Rodanthe! It has tennis courts, indoor & outdoor pools. Hot tub. Beach front, full hook up, Recreation room. Beautiful! Rodanthe has grown a lot since our last visit. I guess having a major movie production (Nights in Rodanthe) is incentive enough for a sprucing! We visited the house from teh movie. I was star truck from standing in the same spot that Richard Gere had stood (swoon!). Too bad he wasn't still there.
We will try to visit again either in the Fall or next Spring. It would be most fun with a group of friends. (That's you Paul & Patti, Bob & Terry!)

Poem to Mom

My Sister in Law sent this to me and it is PRICELESS!!! I just had to share it with all of you!

Poem to MOM

My son came home from school one day,
With a smirk upon his face.
He decided he was smart enough,
To put me in my place.

'Guess what I learned in Civics Two,
that's taught by Mr. Wright?
It's all about the laws today,
The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room,
Don't have to cut my hair
No one can tell me what to think,
Or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion,
And regardless what you say,
I don't have to bow my head,
And I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want,
And pierce my tongue & nose.
I can read & watch just what I like,
Get tattoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me,
I'll charge you with a crime.
I'll back up all my charges,
With the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me,
My body's only for my use,
Not for your hugs and kisses,
that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals,
Like your Mama did to you.
That's nothing more than mind control,
And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights,
So you can't influence me,
Or I'll call Children's Services Division,
Better known as C.S.D.'

Mom's Reply and Thoughts

Of course my first instinct was
To toss him out the door.
But the chance to teach him a lesson
Made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully,
I couldn't let this go.
A smile crept upon my face,
he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping
At the local Goodwill Store.
I told him, 'Pick out all you want,
there's shirts & pants galore.

I've called and checked with C.S.D ...
Who said they didn't care
If I bought you K-Mart shoes
Instead of those Nike Airs.

I've canceled that appointment
To take your driver's test.
The C.S.D. Is unconcerned
So I'll decide what's best. '

I said 'No time to stop and eat,
Or pick up stuff to munch.
And tomorrow you can start to learn
To make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite,
And wait till dinner time.
We're having liver and onions,
A favorite dish of mine.'

He asked 'Can I please rent a movie,
To watch on my VCR?'
'Sorry, but I sold your TV,
For new tires on my car.

I also rented out your room,
You'll take the couch instead.
The C.S.D. Requires
Just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now,
I'll choose what we eat.
That allowance that you used to get,
Will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski,
Dirt-bike & roller blades.
Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',
It's in effect today!

Hey hot shot, are you crying,
Why are you on your knees?
Are you asking God to help you out,
Instead of C.S.D.?'
