I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.

"Why?" my daughter asked. "Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs" I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Mommy, how do you know all this stuff. You are so smart." I was thinking quickly. "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test.  You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy."

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. "OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy."

"Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.

Mean Moms

 Someday when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will tell them, as my Mean Mom told me:

I loved you enough . . .

to ask where you were going, with whom, and what time you would be home.

to be silent and let you discover that your new best friend was a creep. 

to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes.

to let you see anger, disappointment, and tears in my eyes. Children must learn that their parents aren't perfect.

to let you assume the responsibility for your actions even when the penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.

But most of all, I loved you enough . . . to say NO when I knew you would hate me for it.

Those were the most difficult battles of all. I'm glad I won them, because in the end you won, too.  And someday when your children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them.

Was your Mom mean? I know mine was. We had the meanest mother in the whole world!

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast.

When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch, we had to eat sandwiches.

And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was different from what other kids had, too.

   Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all
   times. You'd think we were convicts in a prison. She
   had to know who our friends were, and what we were
   doing with them. She insisted that if we said we
   would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less.

  We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve
   to break the Child Labour Laws by making us work We
   had to wash the dishes, make the beds, learn to
   cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, empty the trash
   and all sorts of cruel jobs. I think she would lie
   awake at night thinking of more things for us to do.

   She always insisted on us telling the truth, the
   whole truth, and nothing but the truth. By the time
   we were teenagers, she could read our minds and had
   eyes in the back of her head. Then, life was really tough!

  Mother wouldn't let our friends just honk the horn
  when they drove up. They had to come up to the door
  so she could meet them. While everyone else could
  date when they were 12 or 13, we had to wait until we were 16 .

   Because of our mother we missed out on lots of
 things other kids experienced. None of us have ever
 been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other's
  property or ever arrested for any crime. It was all her fault.

  Now that we have left home, we are all educated,
 honest adults. We are doing our best to be mean
   parents just like Mom was.

   I think that is what's wrong with the world today.
   It just doesn't have enough mean moms!


   PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE MEAN MOTHERS YOU KNOW.
 (And Their Kids!!!)

Thanks to all who are watching my auction (#330076426281).  As of right now, there are 105 people watching my auction.  This auction is already in the top of the Pulse...keyword Crafts -> Embroidery.  I would love to be on the top for Crafts and then front page of the Pulse - but this is an awesome start! 

Thanks to all who are helping me out by watching my auction!

I have a website that is getting from 500 - 1200 original customers a day - customer are spending money - but not clicking on the Google links that I have placed on my website. Who knows, maybe my website is sooooo good that they don't want to check out someone else’s website...LOL  However, I thought I'd ask to see if anyone has any suggestions (or tricks...LOL) on how to get my website visitors to click on those links so I can get paid just a little more.

Right now - I get payouts once every 3 to 4 months from Google ($100.00 PO) - would like to get the click through rate up so I can get payout once a month...if possible?? Is there a special place I should place these Google ads or some special trick that others use to get so many hits that they get paid 1000's a month?  Not that that is what I am looking for...maybe just enough to cover my web hosting and fees that come along with having a website?  Don't want to spam my website - but maybe someone knows of some research that tells you where a customer is more likely to click on a Google (or other) add?

Anyone?

Just wanted to let everyone know that the auction for the Brother 2003D Sewing and Embroidery Machine is about to end...bidding is still VERY low - so if you've been considering buying a sewing or embroidery machine for yourself or someone you love - it looks like someone is going to get a fantastic deal on a top of the line machine!

Please let me know if you have any questions about that auction, or any of my other auctions!

Thanks so much!

Major headache today - (smacked my head on the gas hose at Costco this morning! YEP - just the hose...LOL) I just got online to check my email and stuff and just can't do it. I am going to go lay back on the couch to try to get rid of this thing - oh how I wish the kids would actually let me take a nap!....ooohhh, maybe when the hubby gets home??

If anyone has any questions about the auctions I have listed, please leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can manage to see the computer screen :)

Have a peachy Tuesday!
