Rambling Friday: Becoming Us!

Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect! 

~Going out is good.. Coming home is better! 

~You forget names, but it's okay because other people forgot they even knew you.

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything . . . especially golf.

~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.

~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep".

~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" Switch..

~You tend to use more four-letter words: "what?" "when?"

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.

~You have three sizes of clothes in your closet of which two you will never wear.

But Old is good in some things: Old songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!



It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived.

I may not agree with all of this, but it's fun stuff anyhow!
Blessings, dear friends.

I've Learned . . .

some things about children . . .

• I've learned that if a child is not getting love and attention at home, he will go somewhere else to find them.
• I've learned that you shouldn't brag about one of your children in the presence of another.
• I've learned that there is nothing more precious than a baby-child-teen-companion's laugh.

• I've learned that the more a chld feels valued, the better his values will be.
• That teens really do care if a light is left on for them when coming home from a date.
• I've learned that teens must learn for themselves that the decisions they make then will have long-term consequences.

• I've learned that if you want to do something positive for your children, try to improve your marriage.
• I've learned that everyone has something to teach--even kids.
• I've learned that kids and teens like (even when they won't admit it) to see their parents being romantic with each other. (Go ahead; hold hands).
