A lesson.....

OH MAN I'M TIRED! A man was sick and tired of going to work every daywhile his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went throughso he prayed: 'Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hourswhile my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I gothrough , so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.Amen.' God , in his infinite wisdom , granted the man's wish. Thenext morning , sure enough , the man awoke as a woman. - He arose ,cooked breakfast for his mate , awakened the kids , set out theirschool clothes , fed them breakfast , packed their lunches , drovethem to school , came home and picked up the dry cleaning , took itto the cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a deposit , went grocery shopping , then drove home to put away the groceries , paid the bills andbalanced the check book. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathedthe dog. Then it was already 1P.M. and he hurried to make the beds ,do the laundry , vacuum , dust , and sweep and Mop the kitchen floor.Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument withthem on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kidsorganized to do their homework , then set up the ironing board andwatched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peelingpotatoes and washing vegetables for salad , breaded the pork chopsand snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper , he cleaned thekitchen , ran the dishwasher , folded laundry , bathed the kids , andput them to bed. At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and , though hisdailychores weren't finished , he went to bed where he was expected tomake love , which he managed to get through without complaint. Thenext morning , he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said:'Lord , I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy mywife's being able to stay home all day. Please , oh! oh! please , letus trade back.' The Lord , in his infinite wisdom , replied: 'My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to changethings back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait ninemonths though. You got pregnant last night.'

I got this in my e mail today and thought I would share it with you!

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
