A Southern Sunday Post…."Reely, Kevin?"

I 'reely' didn't think I was going to do a 'Southern Sunday Post'….I just didn't….I'm enjoying being away at the beach…until I found out that "some" of my children are hurting or they are home and we didn't know it…either way, I wasn't going to do a post this Sunday and I'd already talked myself out of feeling guilty about it! 
What was I thinking? I always feel guilty!
 I feel just like that Chick Fil A commercial that is my new all time favorite…love the quote!!
"Reelly, Kevin?"

It might as well be saying, "Reely, Carolyn…Reely?" 
Did I really think I wouldn't be bothered that my son came home without us knowing it and that my daughter is dying to move home no matter what? "Reely, Carolyn?"
 Will someone please remind me of this next time? Please!
Especially when Holly and Brad seem to be just fine!!!

They are adjusting pretty well! Why was I worried just last night that they weren't?  Hmmmm…I can't imagine!!!

What a waste on my part of guilty feelings!
So, I was so happy when I received this email from my very own, precious mother…and found out it was sent to her by none other than Peggy Boisky….my idol! I just had to post it!! It's just too good…and too true!!

Please have an enjoyable 'read'! It's wonderful!

To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students… here is something to make you chuckle.

Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God’s omnipotence did not extend to His own children. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was 

‘ DON’T !’

‘Don’t what ?’ Adam replied.

‘Don’t eat the forbidden fruit.’ God said.

 ‘Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit?’ 

‘Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit! ‘

‘No way! ‘ ‘Yes way! ‘ ‘Do NOT eat the fruit! ‘ said God.

‘Why ? ‘

A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked!

‘Didn’t I tell you not to eat the fruit? ‘ God asked.

‘Uh huh,’ Adam replied. ‘Then why did you? ‘said the Father. ‘I don’t know,’ said Eve. 

‘She started it! ‘Adam said. ‘Did not! ‘ ‘Did too! ‘

 ‘DID NOT! 

Having had it with the two of them, God’s punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.

ADVICE FOR THE DAY:

Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day.

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven’t taken it, don’t be hard on yourself.

If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

• You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
• Grandchildren are God’s reward for not killing your own children.
• Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.
• Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn’t have said .
• The main purpose of holding children’s parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own .
• We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

AND FINALLY: IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE, DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE: ‘TAKE TWO ASPIRIN’ AND ‘KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN’!!!!! 

A Very Big Thanks to my mom for sending this to me!

I love her more than all the rice in China!


XOXO,
