It looks like you had a beautiful day for the beach. Sorry you are in a bad mood :(
I spend most of my time in a bad mood and it's not much fun. But then I visit sites like yours with beautiful stuff from beautiful generous people and I feel better! Just look at that old photo of you and your hubby that you posted a couple days ago - that should make you laugh!

I hope this helps a little.
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small stop.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously - no one else does.
5. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
6. It's OK to get angry with God, he can take it.
7. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
8. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
9. It's OK to let your children (no matter what age they are) see you cry.
10. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
11. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living.
12. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
13. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.
14. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion as today is special.
15. Be eccentric now - don't wait for old age to wear purple.
16. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
17. Always choose life.
18. Forgive everyone everything.
19. What other people think of you is none of your business.
20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
21. Believe in miracles.
22. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
23. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
24. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
25. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift!

Here is some humor for ya! So, I decided that since we had no real plans that I would go ahead and babysit a friends 2 month old baby while he and his girl go to a Willie Nelson Concert with backstage passes. I am completely jealous here because what was I thinking???!! LOL I volunteered to watch this super cute little baby and I myself have a baby that is a full time nurser. I must be crazy... right?? I have a new found respect for the moms with twins and or two really close in age as I completely forgot what this was like since now my two older children (14 months apart) are now teens.I am definately no longer a spring chicken. How does that get ya??!! I hope that whatever happened is fixable. Hugs to you :o) Just think, you were at the beach on a beautiful day with your hubby and kiddo's and I was here with two babies clung on to me getting 110% of my attention and I got no shower... ACK! Aaaaanyway.... I do want to thank you again for another wonderful template and can't wait to see what you have in store for the "S" words. Bless

Great pics of the FAM ;) Your kids are a bunch of Hams aren't they?? I wish I could get mine to pose sooooo well!!!! Sounds like it's time for a little of that Wine :) I've just had myself a really strong Marguerita. I'm glad I've had that bottle of Tequila waiting for me cause this weekend has been Cabin Fever so far and the kids have been climbing the walls! Not to mention jumping on the couch, throwing toys and whacking each other! Oh, well... get some rest and you'll feel better in the Morning :)

One day a college professor of Psychology was greeting his new collegeclass. He stood up in front of the class and said, "Would everyone who thinks he or she is
stupid please stand up?"
After a minute or so of silence, a young man stood up. "Well, good morning. So, you actually think you're a moron?" the
professor asked. The kid replied, "No sir, I just didn't want to see you standing
there all by yourself.
Maths teacher: to a dull boy,
if u have 12 chocolate and u give 5 to leena, 3 to tina, 4 to meena,
then what will You get?
Student: 3 Girl friends....!
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

and one last one:
Sometimes you're the windshield; sometimes you're the bug.

I know this is not what you usually get, but I hope it brings a smile to your face!!!
Thank you for all that you do for us your fans/stalker/etc. Your kits are awesome!!!

Here's a little joke to make you smile!
Hugs
Kerri
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 and 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,
'Mummy, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.'
I was thinking quickly. 'All mums know this stuff. It's on the Mummy Test.
You have to know it or they don't let you be a Mummy.'
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.

Thanks for the letter goodie. When I opened your site today and saw the pics at the beach I thought 'What a great summer your kids have had' (remembering earlier photos you posted as well). Sorry it ended up bad for you!
Posted by: JillSF | September 01, 2008 at 05:28 AM
Ok, as Shelby said to me yesterday. Did someone get up in your bidness? OMG! Where do they come up with this stuff? Zoey would say tumtimes I get mad! So, put it in perspective and forgive and forget. Or tell all your adoring fans who made you mad and we will help hide the body. Love, Patty
Posted by: Patamomma | September 01, 2008 at 06:21 AM
not sure how humerous this is...wasn't to me at the time but anyway thought I would share.
My 3 year old likes to get up EARLY. We are always telling her to go back to bed because it isn't morning yet. Today she came into our room, lifted up the blinds so we could see the light and screamed " cock-a-doodle-doo"
guess it was time to get up :)
Hope tomorrow is better- thanks for the goodies. You are wonderful as always

Thanks for the template! Looks like you had a beautiful day at the beach.
My funny: I snuck a piece of pull n peel cherry licorice so my 2 yr old wouldn't notice and beg for some. I was chewing the last little bit when she came up to me. I talked to her and she said "what's in your mouth?" I chewed fast and said "nothing". "Open your mouth." she said. I swallowed the last bit and opened. "see, nothing" I said. She started to sniff the air like a blood hound and said "I smell red". We now call the licorice 'Red'.

Thanks for the S. Sorry you in a bad mood.

Well, I am not very funny this morning. I might smell funny till I get my shower though. I sure got a good laugh from some of the comments. I hope they brought a smile to your face. Thank you for putting yourself in the mood for sharing anyway.

Your blog stalkers are too funny! I don't have jokes or anything like that, but how about a confession? My 1-year-old is the craziest child on the planet and he does awful things like drag something over to the coffee table, use it to boost himself up, and stomp around on 30 or 40 goldfish. He climbs into my entertainment center (after he's cleared off a shelf to make room) and hangs out there, he climbs onto the dining room chairs when they're all the way pushed in so he ends up squished between the table and the chair. All normal kid stuff. The confession part: before I scold him, or free him from confinement, I usually grab the camera and take some pictures!! I'm a terrible mother.

Thank you for the template, and sorry to hear you ended the day in a foul mood. It ahppens like that sometimes. Here's my funny story (happened to a co-worker of mine).
My friend had a young son who was in the early stages of learning to read, and he was reading everything he clapped eyes on -- signs, packages, you name it.
One day when she was putting on her makeup in the bathroom, he was poking around in the vanity cabinets and spotted her package of feminine napkins. He asked "mommy, why are you keeping napkins in the bathroom? Shouldn't they be in the kitchen?"
Not wanting to launch into a lengthy and uncomfortable explanation when she needed to leave the house quickly, she told him, "Those are very special company napkins. I keep them in here so we don't use them by mistake." He seemed satisfied with her response and she thought no more about the conversation. Until....
Many months later a family member died. Key members from the church were coming over to bring supper to her family (including her pastor). My friend called home from work to ask her son to set the table in preparation for the visit. He, being a caring and conscientious boy, retrived those special "company" napkins and placed one carefully at each place on the dining room table.
My friend arrived home in a rush and went straight to her bathroom to freshen up without checking the table. While she was in there the church group arrived. She exited the bathroom after hearing shrieks coming from other parts of the house.
They were shrieks of laughter of course. And she never offered a less than truthful answer to an uncomfortable question again!
Hope you are laughing now :-) and thank you so much for your wonderful creations you share with all of us.

Probably can't compare with some of these other stories, but the other day I was driving with my 8yod and she was looking at the clouds, which were looking pretty cool (very 3-D), and she said "Wow - the clouds look almost realisitic!"
Thanks for the template!

First of all.....fabulous pics as usual, your kids are so darling and it looks like they had a great time :)
This is probably going to add to a bad mood but when I saw your son buried in sand I said "Oh no" - I hope she's aware of this:
Digging Holes in Sand Can Be Dangerous
Sand Holes May Collapse Suddenly, Trapping Diggers Inside
By Miranda Hitti
WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Louise Chang, MDJune 20, 2007 -- Digging sand holes may sound like innocent fun at the beach, but it can be risky and even deadly, according to a new report.
In the past decade, there have been reports of 31 fatalities and 21 nonfatal cases of people submerged in sand when the sand holes they were digging for fun collapsed in on them.
Those cases are noted in The New England Journal of Medicine by Bradley Maron, MD, and colleagues. Maron works at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
Maron's team reports that the victims of collapsed sand holes were 3 to 21 years old (average age: 12). Most cases occurred at public beaches, near the shoreline.
The holes were dug from dry sand by victims, friends, or relatives. The sand holes were generally 2 feet to 15 feet in diameter and 2 feet to 12 feet deep, note Maron and colleagues.
"Typically, victims become completely submerged in the sand when the walls of the hole unexpectedly collapsed, leaving virtually no evidence of the hole or the location of the victim," write the researchers.
"Collapses were inadvertently triggered by a variety of circumstances, including digging, tunneling, jumping, or falling into the hole," they write.
Many of the people who were rescued from sand holes required CPR from bystanders, note Maron and colleagues.
They write that being trapped in a collapsed sand hole "is uncommon," but such cases "probably are more common than this report suggests."
In a previous interview with WebMD, Maron said that in 1997, he saw rescuers save the life of an 8-year-old girl who was trapped in a sand hole at Martha's Vineyard.
Maron's team has written about the sand hole hazard in the past and continues to highlight the issue in the hopes of saving lives, especially as people head to the beach on summer vacation.

Well, for something kinda funny you could check your email for my blog link about what happened to Jay. He drove a friend's little motorbike over an embankment and did a free-fall for 11 feet into a creek! Probably wouldn't have been funny if he'd been hurt. His friend's first statement after he saw that Jay was OK: "DUDE! You caught some AIR!!" :o)

Looks like your family has had a wonderful time at the beach and the weather looks yummy!
Thank you for the S template. You are so very giving.
Sorry to hear you are in a bad mood. Hope everything turns out O.K.

Hi, I tried to think of something funny, but it escapes me just now. My Dad gave my DD a task which will yield her an iPhone, if she ever finishes. It is a hard task and she still hasn't done it. He says "I'm not sure if it was a good idea or not." I say, "I'm not sure." He says "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I agree. He and I both have been tested by difficult childhoods and are pretty strong. I'm not sure what made you so mad, but it probably made you stronger. I wish I could make you laugh today. By now you are probably feeling better, so I guess hello will have to do it. Have a great day from this moment on. Hugs, Tasha

Pam, I am sending you the chicken clucking sound to go with your 'fowl' mood..... :D Wish I could send audio, cuz I do a great cluck. Take care of you. And remember it takes more muscles to frown than it takes to smile.
Posted by: the51mom | September 01, 2008 at 11:39 AM
This may not be totally funny, but there's this guy who is TOTAL eye candy for me [young - but legal, athletic - he's a ball player, blond hair, blue eyes, killer smile and he knows it] and hubby knows and is amused by it [thank the gods].
So, I'm standing by a meet and greet thing and the guy appears. He comes over toward me, but then gets distracted by a fan asking for a signature on a bat and they start chatting [now, this fan is male, portly, and known to all the players - so it's not like he's talking to Kathy Ireland!] and then the guy starts to go. I shout out, "That's right, ignore me just standing here. Fine, I understand." He smiles and says, "Ah, I gotta get ready." Yeah, yeah, I know - go. Eish!
So, tell hubby the story and he looks at me and says, "Yep, attention span of an Irish Setter, eh?" HOWL!!!!! [If you remember Gary Larson's "the many moods of an Irish Setter" comic or ever owned an Irish Settler, it's a lot funnier]
Hope your day is a better one today ... I'm gonna see my "Irish Setter" today and try to keep a straight face. :-)
