Mom’s Resourcefulness

Last night, my girls spent the night at my mom’s house. Dad had an out-of-town job this week, so we’ve been taking care of her while he’s gone.

When I went to pick them up this morning, I found this note attached to the door (left for the church ladies who come to “babysit” her"…she leaves notes like these on the door every week).

At first glance, I thought she had glued it on the door. Upon further inspection (and a little sniffing), I discovered the glue-like substance to not be glue at all. She had, in fact, used her “Moonlight Path” lotion to attach the note. You’ve got to give her some points for creativity on this one. It’s no wonder why she has to stock pile on the lotion...it serves many purposes!!

Another Funny

Both my dad and my sister shared a funny story with me that was too good to not share with my readers. This should give you a good chuckle ;)

Last week, dad arrived home from work one evening and was greeted by mom. She was talking a mile a minute as she filled him in on her day. She was very pleased with herself for accomplishing some chores around the house.

"It was so good too, I washed some dishes too...but something so weird happened, one plate disappeared and one plate broke apart it was so weird. Come here and see what happened it was so weird..."

Mom led dad into the kitchen and dad was trying to make sense of what mom was saying. He was preparing himself to find a broken dish; wondering how she would have managed to break the dish while washing it. He peered into the sink and, first, saw one plate washed and drying in the dish drainer. He then looked into the "washing" side of the sink and saw some sort of mess under the faucet. He looked a little closer, picked up the mess in his hand to inspect it further, and started to laugh. Mom had tried washing a paper plate!
