I am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me... and at this time of year we all could use a little...calm!!! By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace........the article read: "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started." So I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished....and before coming to work this morning I finished off a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white, the Bailey's, Kahlua and Tia Maria, my Prozac, some valium, my cigarettes and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freakin good I feel.... You may pass this on to those you feel are in need of Inner Peace...

I need some inner piece really badly right about now. Wonder how many bottles of Inner Peace I have at home, maybe I need to stop and get some more.

A bit of humor.... SENT TO ME BY CATHIE The following are different answers given by school-age children to the given questions: Why did God make mothers? 1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is. 2. Think about it, it was the best way to get more people. 3. Mostly to clean the house. 4. To help us out of there when we were getting born. How did God make mothers? 1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us. 2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring. 3. He made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts. Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom? 1. We're related. 2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me. What ingredients are mothers made of? 1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world, and one dab of mean. 2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string. I think. What kind of little girl was your mom? 1. My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff. 2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy. 3. They say she used to be nice. How did your mom meet your dad? 1. Mom was working in a store and dad was shoplifting. What did mom need to know about dad before she married him? 1. His last name. 2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer? Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores? Why did your mom marry your dad? 1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mom eats a lot. 2. She got too old to do anything else with him. 3. My grandma says that mom didn't have her thinking cap on. What makes a real woman? 1. It means you have to be really bossy without looking bossy. Who's the boss at your house? 1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dads such a goofball. 2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed. 3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad. What's the difference between moms and dads? 1. Moms work at work and work at home, and dads just got to work at work. 2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them. 3. Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power cause that's who you gotta ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's. What does your mom do in her spare time? 1. Mothers don't do spare time. 2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long. What's the difference between moms and grandmas? 1. About 30 years. 2. You can always count on grandmothers for candy. Sometimes moms don't even have bread on them! Describe the world's greatest mom? 1. She would make broccoli taste like ice cream! 2. The greatest mom in the world wouldn't make me kiss my fat aunts! 3. She'd always be smiling and keep her opinions to herself. Is anything about your mom perfect? 1. Her teeth are perfect, but she bought them from the dentist. 2. Her casserole recipes. But we hate them. 3. Just her children What would it take to make your mom perfect? 1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery. 2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd dye-it, maybe blue. If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be? 1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that. 2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.

I feel like throwing a pity party! I am just wiped out right now. Sometimes,I wonder what the heck am I doing having two little kids,and being close to 40 years old? Today is one of those days. I'm sitting here half asleep,the house is a disaster,and they are running around me in circles like I'm not even here. Yeah,I know,poor,poor me,lol.

As long as they aren't tying you to the stake and setting fire to you (remember Lucy?), you should survive till bedtime.

Hi, Tess, sorry it's taken me so long to respond. The sigh was because this was Monday morning, and what a Monday it was, too. Sometimes I really hate going to work, and this was one of those times. But it usually passes, lol

Morning Everyone!!!! Squirrel Update: After I was bit I called the hospital..(let me tell ya how incredibly stupid I felt hearing the words..."yes hello, I was just bit by a squirrel..." come out of my mouth)Anyway...I found an empty box of rat poison in the garage which would explain the slow reaction time and overall twitchiness (is that a word?)of the critter so Im not too concerned that he was diseased. An hour or so later though when I peeked out I saw him making a half-a**ed attempt to crawl to the door (Im thinking to finish me off!!!)At this point "saving" him by getting him back out into the wild seemed pointless...so of course the next course of action involved a BB gun and a shoebox! Well Mr Squirrel was a tough little son of a gun! When the BB had no effect (except for the wailing and more twitching) my friend took him outside with a shovel... (Is this story too graphic??? God I hope not to offend anyone this early in the morning...I much prefer to offend others in the late afternoon.)But that basically is the end of the squirrel experience....I felt bad I couldnt save him...silly I know... On a brighter note...we are leaving for Disney World on Sunday!! WOOHOO!!!...I thought about starting a thread to ask for advice and practical tips from all you bright/worldly peeps here at TVCH, but alas..Im a chicken and have never actually started one before...so maybe anyone who has some advice can drop it here. I hope you all have a fabulous day!!!!!!

"What is REAL?" asked the Velveteen Rabbit. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?" "Real isn't just how you are made," said the Skin Horse, "it's a thing that happens to you when a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become real." "Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are real, you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept." -Margery Williams The Velveteen Rabbit

Spy, I was lurking to take myself away from some work-related stress and I came across this lovely piece of spoken words between the Velveteen Rabbit and the Skin Horse. It made me smile and feel so much better! Thanks for sharing!! xoxo, Eggie

That excerpt is included in a book I'm reading for the Physiology and Emotion class I'm teaching. The meaning behind the exchange overpowered me and I felt the need to post it. I'm glad you liked it

I've always loved that passage since we read that book for religion class in high school. Now it brings back such good memories.
