The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has.

You know you're a mom when...You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal.

You have time to shave only one leg at a time.
You hide in the bathroom to be alone.
You child throws up, and you catch it.
Someone else's kid throws up at a party, and you keep eating.
You consider finger paint to be a controlled substance.
You mastered the art of placing large quantities of pancakes and eggs on a plate without anything touching.
Your child insists that you read Once Upon a Potty out loud in the lobby of the doctor's office, or, better yet, in the lobby of a Grand Central Station... and you do it.
You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband in ages, then spend half the night talking about and checking on the kids.
You hope ketchup is a vegetable because it's the only one your child eats.

You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into unusual shapes.
You fast-forward through the scene when the hunter shoots Bambi's mother.
You use your own saliva to clean your child's face.
You obsess when your child clings to you upon parting during his first month at school, then obsess when he skips in without looking back the second time.
You can't bear to give away baby clothes -- it's so final.
You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "Not in your good clothes!"
You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.
You read that the average five year old asks 437 questions a day and feel proud that your kid is above average.
You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job", but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything in the world...

Good morning everyboomie.
I was off for two days and Friday kinda snuck up on me.
Happy Friday!
I'm back at work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, then when your weekend is over I start another one.
Also I'm back a work at 5 o'clock in the AM, so I gotta get up at 3:30.
My two older brothers are going to be here sometime tonight. I hope they get here before I have to go to bed.
They are going to replace the tub and shower in our front bathroom.
My sister has gone to the Arbuckle Wilderness for the weekend, and her daughter and G'daughter, who live here now, went to Arlington for the weekend.
YEAH!!!!
I spent all day today burning about 6 huge piles of limbs, and a lot of other garbage, and golly gee wiz I am burned out.
I hope Friday is a super day for one and all.
