Why? Why? Why?


I have been terrible about posting to this blog...going to try to do better.

In the meantime, I thought I would post these interesting and humorous questions....that we have probably all experienced at some time! They made me laugh....hope you enjoy them too!

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost

Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they already know there is not enough money?

Why does someone
Believe you when you say there are four billion stars; but have to check when you say the paint is still wet?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

Mothers Day Faves...

God has blessed me with a wonderful Mom and Mother-in-Law and with 2 wonderful girls of my own. I got to spend Mother's Day with my Mom....which is something I never got to do while living in Florida.

Here are a few of my "faves" from this Mother's Day...
  • Matt and the girls took me shopping the Saturday before Mother's Day to buy some new clothes....my favorite kind of gift....the kind I get to pick out!

  • Brit made me this cute card....

You can't read it, but part of it says "If you were a flower, I'd pick you." How sweet! Maybe she does like me! :)

  • Avery made me this place mat...


On the back her teacher asked her some questions about me and she answered them. Here is what it says....

  1. What does your mom do while you are at school? Avery: She works. She does work for our house to sell.
  2. What's your mom's favorite thing to do? Avery: Go outside.
  3. What do you like to play with your mom? Avery: Games like Candyland.
  4. What kinds of things does your mom do to take care of you? Avery: She gets food for me.
  5. What do you like about your mom? Avery: She likes to play with me.
  6. How old is your mom? Avery: 16 (I love that!!!:)

As a mom who works from home and goes through a lot of "mom guilt" about trying to do my job AND spend time with my kids, these kinds of "words" get me through the tough days!

I am so blessed!

The Finger

Yesterday when I arrived to pick up Avery from school, her teacher motioned to me and said she "needed to speak" to me....never words you want to hear from your child's teacher!

She went on to tell me that earlier in the day she looked over to see Avery in conversation with another child and holding her middle finger up at the little girl....and not to show her a "boo boo". She quickly walked over to them to remedy the situation and overheard Avery explaining to the little girl that this was very bad and you should not do it!

I, of course, assured the teacher that she had NOT seen that at home but that about a month ago her older sister had heard someone talking about the middle finger and asked me what it meant. I told Britlyn that it was very bad and she was never to do it. Little did I know that Avery was listening and felt the need to share it with her classmates!

Needless to say, I sent an e-mail to a certain classmate's Mom to warn her that her daughter might have learned something new at school....and I was very sorry! EEK!!!
