I'm skipping this week's The Friday 5 again. Mostly because I'm not superstitious so it would be a pretty boring blog (not that I kid myself that this is exciting anyways). I totally forgot it was Friday the 13th. I've been concentrating more on the fact that's it's Friday (TGIF! lol) and that Greg comes home this evening. :)
Since The Friday 5 thing fell through, I don't have anything else planned for this space. I know I'm a dork because I prepare these things ahead of time. It gives my mind something to do while I wait in the school parking lot or zing down interstate at 75mph.
So some random thoughts:
Life is too short. It's too short not to appreciate just being alive. And Papermate pencils. It's also too short to put up with things that bug me. I don't like baking Christmas cookies so I'm not going to do it. It may be selfish but life is too short to be dealing with a bunch of unimportant stuff that I don't like anyways. It's too short to be miserable about things I can't change. So why not be happy? It's rather Pollyanne-ish of me but why not look for the silver lining? There's nothing to lose and a whole lot to be gained when I find it.
My kids are a bunch of comedians. They crack me up and I love the sound of their laughter mixing with mine. Zach's latest jokes: What do you call something that's half boy and half cow? --A cowboy! Why isn't your nose 12 inches long? --Cause then it would be a foot! *snort* I never said I had a normal sense of humor by the way. Another example: I crawled under the kitchen table to retrieve a cup and when I stood back up, Kelly was crawling under the table too and giggling. She's been walking for months so she thought I was playing a game. Laughing I got back down on the floor and we crawled in circles for awhile, laughing like lunatics. And that's how I wear holes in the knees of my jeans, Greg. hehehehe
Where there's a will there's a way. Live and let live. A eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a little chocolate. Limericks can be funny. Case in point:
There once was a young man from Lyme
Who couldn't get his limericks to rhyme
When asked "Why not?"
It was said that he thought
They were probably too long and badly structured and not at all very funny.

From a lot of nothing, you can usually get something. hehe Anyway have a safe and fun Friday the 13th! (and I wish I had a black cat to go spook some people *grins evilly*)
