Happy Mom's Day Ladies!

HRinNH

Whether you're a Mom or just act like one, I wish you a comfy, pampered, chocolate-filled Mother's Day!

After my daughter serves me breakfast in bed, I'm planning to curl up on the sofa in my flannel jammies and watch sappy movies with happy endings all day. x:-)

Yes, a very Happy Mother's Day to all of our forum moms!

I wonder how many "mom" skills cross over into HR.

HRinNH

Legions, but unfortunately I can't use the best ones that "convinced" my kids to see things my way. :oo

HRQ

Nor do repeated write ups work on the kids. x:-)

My 6 year old gave me a cook book that his whole kindergarten class made. Each child wrote a "recipe" and drew the art to go along with it. My child's recipe says "put chocolate chip square dough in the oven. Then the oven melts the chocolate chip dough right into cookies". Not a lot of "from scratch" cooking going on at my house. ;;) It's the time together that counts anyway, right?

The children also wrote "all about my mom". Apparently, I am 7 feet tall, weigh 46 lbs, am 25 years old x:-D , corn dogs are my favorite food, and I don't like to clean the carpet. (One thing is true, I'll let you pick which one!)

My God, HRQ, you're 7' tall?!?!?

No Larry, the part that's true is that she has children.

HRinNH

I'd say she's 25 years old. My daughters say that I am and, since they're at the age where they know everything, I have to believe them. x:D

I like HRQ. I am going with 46 pounds.

Nae, are you kidding me? At 7' tall and 46 lbs she would look like a kite.

Speaking of funny things kids say. My wife told me something our littlest one said this morning.

When our 3 year old saw my wife getting the vacuum out, she yelled "Hey, mommy, that's not YOURS! That's Daddy's!"

So, that is proof I help out around the house.

HRQ

My husband is helpful in many ways, but my children would never actually believe he can FIND the vacuum, let alone USE it. Way to go, PiCB!

And I'm not sure I'd want to be 7' tall OR weigh 46 lbs.

Happy mom's day to everyone! Remember to sleep in on Sunday, and let your spouse/SO do the vacuuming. I'm hoping my children will make me some cookies out of "square" dough. x:9

"Square" dough - that's cute. My three year old is at that stage of saying funny things. She saw two raccoons on our back deck and she yelled "Two cartoons are eating mommy's garden!"

One of my grandsons is going to be 3 on Thursday. He told me Friday night, "I like doggies. I like elephants. I like lions. And I like monkeys. Monkeys have big boobies."

Don't bother to ask where he got that from. We are clueless.

So did all y'all get and give what you should've on Mom's Day?

As predicted, I was served the most delicious breakfast in bed. French Toast with a variety of sliced fresh fruit. I stayed in my jammies until around noon and didn't lift a finger to clean or cook anything all day.

I'd be willing to share the Lindt Chocolate Truffles if they didn't make such a mess in the fax machine.
