My Aunt Pat sent the family a forward with some funny "Masculane Maladies" which she titled For FEMALE eyes only – I thought I would share a few.
One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"
"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"
He yelled back, "University of Oklahoma."
And they say blondes are dumb…
Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods.
Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I’ll beat him to death.
AMEN
Q: Why do little boys whine?
A: They are practicing to be men.
A: They are practicing to be men.
Hehe… anyway enough of that.
We went to the early service today leaving my mom here with the twins. It was so nice to get to sit through a sermon, although I rocked Emanuel in the cry room (you can still see the service through the window and hear it over a speaker) for half of it. We signed up for our pictures and got in a little visiting.
I made supper out of whatever I could find in the cupboard – I took a pound of hamburger, a can of cream of mushroom soup and some shredded cheese with a little milk and put it on macaroni. Actually tasted rather good. I think we have one more pound of hamburger left until Wednesday so tomorrow evening I will make meatloaf and then cook up the last of the frozen peas to go with. We did pick up sausage so I have meat for the boys for the first half of the week. I have made a much more all enclusive list for when we can do a nice big shop. I am thinking I could easily premake meals if I get motivated. We also have to start getting ready too cook our Christmas cookies… I have to figure out how many dozen we need to do this year. Hopefully I can find tins to put the cookies in, we had to use Christmas zip-locs, too many cookies ended up broken.
Tomorrow is a civic holiday so Ken should be staying home. Wednesday is supposed to be twin group but Zander seems to be coming down with a cold and one of the moms is either overdue still or has a brand new baby. I would hate to pass a cold along to them so we will have to wait and see. Either way they will spend Wednesday or Thursday evening with their Grandma Anna.
I got this neat crafty booklette in the mail with ideas for Christmas. One of them was a way to hang cards on ribbon. You take a thick piece of satin and run a thinner piece overtop the tip piece is folded at each card and clipped on with a round paperclip. I am going to go through my mom’s button box and see if I can’t find neat buttons to hot glue onto regular paperclips. I got some ribbon from my mom to start with though I will probably check out what they have in Walmart. After Ken gets paid of course. I am thinking of taking up knitting too. Something that I can make gifts from that is easy to learn. So watch out – next year you make get scarfs LOL.
