Sometimes we just need a SMILE

This will definitely help you to smile. I just couldn't e-mail it to all, so I posted it. Can't you see children you know doing this?

Two Little Boys :



After a hardy rainstorm filled all the potholes in the streets and alleys,
a young mother watched her two little boys playing in the puddle through her kitchen window.
The older of the two, a five year old lad, grabbed his sibling by the back of his head and shoved his face into the water hole.
As the boy recovered and stood laughing and dripping, the mother runs to the yard in a panic.

'Why on earth did you do that to your little brother?!' she asks as she shook the older boy in anger.
'We were just playing 'church' mommy, ' he said. 'And I was just baptizing him.....in the name of the Father, the Son and in...the hole-he-goes.'

PEANUT BUTTER SUPRISE

Now I don't know about the rest of you, but we LOVE peanut butter around our house. We go through way to much of it. It was a pleasant suprise when Geary craving a PBJ samich(sandwich to the rest of us)opened a new jar and found this. Cute,huh?!

Coltyn had a blast playing in the snow with his dump truck from santa. He was so so so excited and I love how he cheesed it for the camera between scooping areas in the driveway. Coltyn, you are dsuch a joy. We love you!

Trying my Health

WOW! Life I thought would get better after surgery. It seems to be one thing after another. i have to vent.............
First the post-operative infection & dealing with the general healing. That was quite a chore itself.
Second came going back to work at week 4, waking up that morning with no voice a horrible sore throat, cough and sinus pressure. The throat recovered after 5 DAYS,but not the voice, cough or sinuses.
Thirdly, Mirgrains, I have only had a few since surgery, which is a HUGE improvement, but they sure were doesies, one in which I missed work for.
Forth, I went for post-op check up at 5 weeks. The doctor says that I'm a week or more behind in recovery because of the infection after surgery and that I need to be abstinent for another 4 weeks(yeah right)as my sutures are not disolved yet. That was a big blow, talk about frustration. ;)
Fifth, I finally (after 12 days) went in to get help with the sinus trouble, the plugged up ear that I couldn't hear out of for three days and the horrible cough that was getting worst. I was exausted and just struggling to get through the work days and wishing I had my health & life back. Just to find out I had an ear about to rupture with infection and pressure (no pain though, bonus)and walking pneumonia with a sinus infection.
I broke down in tears. I just want to feel good!! I want my life back!! The docotr looked a little shocked and reasured me that as my body was able to heal completely from the surgery it would be able to fight off anything else that came my way, but until then I would have to do what I could to "take care of myself". I laughed a little at that, like I had been running outside with wet hair, naked or trying to make myslef sick or suseptible to illness.
I know that sometime in the future I will learn from this experience, for they say that "...all things shall be for thy good..", So I will trust that in this situation too.
