I still Love Lucy

Today is Lucille Ball's Birthday!


Here are some great quotes from her.


“I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.”


“If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.”


“I’m not funny. What I am is brave.”

Rules #206

Love is smiling and saying "I love you" even when you're angry.

Rules #205

Sometimes we make do and continue on just because failure is not an option.

Rules #204

"You are what you eat" is a phrase that is meant to make people feel guilty about what they eat... no matter what that might be. This might also encourage cannibalism. This remark should be countered by eating a cougar, or a shark, or something equally unequivocal.

The best kind of day

Today was a bad day. It wasn't really anyone's fault. Well, it might've been the cat's fault. I am now sporting three fabulous new bandages because of him but part of me wonder's if it's really his fault or his nature's fault. Anyways, it was a long day. It was a difficult day. And I survived it. Largely because four of my littlest challenges who were also having a rough end to a long day, all (separately) wanted to sit in my lap and be held. This doesn't make my day any better or any worse, but, it does leave me remembering, I may not be the best person I know- but I'm important to some beautiful children. And no matter how hard my day was, it was the best kind of day.

On the First Day of Spring

So, it's the first day of Spring. HA! As a reminder, there are flashflood warnings until 7:00 PM... tomorrow.
