EVERYONE IS COMING HOME

All of our children and grand children will be here next weekend.

It will be a house full but I am looking forward to their visit.

I just hope that I have all the energy that I need!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JORDAN

Sunday is my grand daughter's birthday!

It seems like yesterday that I was in the delivery room and held her for the first time.

How fast 11 years can drift by!

Happy Birthday, Jordan

I love you!

PREGNANCY, ESTROGEN AND WOMEN

I found this in "Brandies World journal

Pregnancy, Estrogen, and Women
 PREGNANCY Q & A & more!
 

Q: Should I have a baby after 35?
 A: No, 35 children is enough.

 Q: I'm two months pregnant now. When will my baby move?
 A: With any luck, right after he finishes college.

 Q: What is the most reliable method to determine a baby's sex?
 A: Childbirth.

 Q: My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she's
 borderline irrational.
 A: So what's your question?

 Q: My childbirth instructor says it's not pain I'll feel during labor,
but
pressure. Is she right?
A: Yes, in the same way that a tornado might be called an air current.

 Q: When is the best time to get an epidural?
A: Right after you find out you're pregnant.

 Q: Is there any reason I have to be in the delivery room while my wife
is in labor?

 Q: Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth?

THE ALPHABET SONG

Cold and flu season is upon us.

My Doctor said to wash my hands for 20 seconds to kill germs.

I was telling my daughter this one day a few years ago, when my grand daughter said.

Bama, 20 seconds is easy.

It is, I replied?

Yes, she said.

Just wash your hands to the alphabet song. My teacher said that that is long enough to kill germs.

Then she sang it.

A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,LMNOP,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z

NOW I'VE SAID MY ABC'S....

NEXT TIME WON'T YOU SING WITH ME.

I thanked her and the next day...I timed it and it was exactly 20 seconds.

So now, when I wash my hands...I sing the alaphbet song. Mostly, to myself, I don't want the guy's with the straight jacket to come for me!

Smart teacher and smart grand daughter.

Thank you, Jordan.

GRANDPARENT'S DAY

Lauren ( 6 ) called me yesterday.

It was Grandparents day at her school. We live too far away to go and so she called me instead with a run down of the day.

There was only one other student in her class that didn't have a grandparent there. ( guilt, guilt).

The call went like this.

Hello, Bama, this is Lauren. Happy Grandparents Day!

Thank you Lauren, are you having a fun day?

I'm sorry that I couldn't be there like I was last year.

Me too, Bama.

Why don't you make an announcement to your class about how much your Grandmother loves you?

I'm not allowed to make announcements, Bama!

You could stand on your chair and shout. My Bama loves me!

Ohhh, Bama, I would get in so much trouble if I stood on my chair!

OK...it is just important that YOU know how much I love you and miss you.

I know, Bama. I love you too!

Ahhhh, Bama....Don't tell me to do things that could get me in trouble.

OK Lauren, I won't do that again.

Good, Bama because we need to listen and do what we are told.

OK Lauren, I'll remember.

Bye, sweetie!

Bye, Bama!

AHHHH, the reprimand of a 6 year old really cuts to the quick!
