Hello!!
Today is anothershopping excuse holiday in the US: Mother's Day. Got to sleep in. Had "breakfast in bed." Quote marks are necessary as my breakfast consisted of:
husband ammended this by adding a large mug of coffee, just how I like it. And hid the uneaten warm, melted faux cheese and meat so the kids' feelings wouldn't be hurt. Hee!
To those that are NOT Mothers: I hug and kiss you all for your freedom, your lack of breast/hip/belly stretch marks due to pregnancy, and your ability to have sex without the door locked. Or sending bodies away.
To those that have lost beloved mothers: I envy you the love you shared with her, and hope you know that some chick in Texas is thinking hard about you and sending you good thoughts.
Have spent the weekedn with the Mormon relations due to a wedding and have been surprised that there was NOT cold cuts and Sprite at teh reception. Olive trays! Brie! Crusty loaves! And, um, Hawaiian punch, dressed up in a fountain. Well, three out of four ain't bad. They are going todescend on us like locusts come calling today at my home before they leave tonight, so no time to post fic, visit, chat... But I shall have many tale on the morrow. 16 children from 5 to 9. Not including my own. Happy freaking Mother's Day. :-D
Also!! I forgot that yesterday was
janedavitt's b-day, and we had bonded over Gilbert and Anne. What's not to love? I hope your day was lovely, the sentiments and happiness were all day long, and may you have many, many more.
Today is another
- lukewarm slice of American cheese, unwrapped (the kids woke up early)
- dried out hunk of summer sausage
- grapes
- bagel - whole, uncut, untoasted
- large glass of water

Happy freakin' Mother's Day to you, too.
bratsrelations to arrive in an hour.*sigh*
My cousins are fun. Even if their kids are shits.
Yes. Yes you do.
And purdy feet.
And hey, I've got stretch marks on my boobs and I'm kidless. Y'all do not have the monoply on that!
Love you!
If' you'd quit stretching your tits into Mickey Mouse ears for the boys at the bar, you wouldn't have stretch marks on them.
I LOVE YOU, VINNIE!!! (I want you to come to my house and let me feed you and cuddle....) *cries*
I want to come to your house and have you feed and cuddle me!!!!!!
(Cannot stop giggling over Hawaiian punch fountain.)
But. It was far better than the typical Mormon reception: buttermints, cold cuts, American cheese slices (artfully arranged in a fan.) And Sprite. Can't forget the Sprite.
If it's REALLY fancy, you may have rainbow jello salad. (All the colors of jello made into layers in a pyrex dish) Or lime jello with shredded carrots suspended inside.
Classy.
Tomorrow I will list the most hilarious weddings I've attended. I think
The locusts are arriving.
*smooshes you and kisses your head*
I have no exerience with Mormon receptions - but the staple jello dish at most of my mom's family's get togethers is an orange jello salad with cream cheese (that usually ends up looking like cottage cheese) and mandarin oranges. It looks hideous, but damned if it isn't quite tasty. Classy. :D
Luck with the locusts.
The funny thing about jello dishes: we mock, but they taste GOOD. I would, um, be interested in that recipe... For historical recording purposes... Yes. That's it.
Orange Cheese Salad
1 small pkg. orange jello
1 cup boiling water
1small pkg. softened cream cheese
1 small can frozen OJ thawed
1 can mandarin oranges drained
Dissolve jello in water. Blend with cheese. Add OJ. Let cool. Stir in orange sections. Let set in fridge.
And voila! And it is yummy. heh.
Stretch marks?! I'm right there with you. At least I got up to a B cup having kids.
That's always a good thing.:D
I had to buy a NURSING bra in the size of G. A 32 G. That's EASY to find. Heck, you can pick one of them up at the gas station.
(Happy Mother's Day to you, too. Did you get any macaroni/glitter pictures?)
Did you get any macaroni/glitter pictures?
I did get a glitter card & a "hand print" plaque from the littlest of the two. The Eldest boy made a turtle for me in his ceramics class.
The turtle reminds me of the mush faced Lion in Wonderfalls. I love it soooo much.
Enjoy the swarm of locusts! Happy Freakin' Mother's Day! *smooches*
Smooch to you and hug your mama!!
(Happy Mother's Day to YOU!!!)
What's a mother if not
deceptionlove?Happy Mother's Day to you, whether or not it's celebrated in your parts!
Love you, hope you had a lovely day with your boys, and I am JEALOUS of the plants!
Did you see the list of things I got? Yeah. That's it. I love Mr. Stoney, but he's TERRIBLE about giving me cards, gifts, etc. Lughead. (And I want pictures of the garden, missy!!)
I made my mother a salad once for mothers day and put slugs and snail all through it. Though she clicked because I was rolling about the floor screaming with laughter gasping out 'don't eat it!'. I was a deeply strange and stupid child. So pity that I did that when I was 22. Joking! Though am I...?
Yeah, I am.
Is it wrong to steal children and force them to make you breakfast for mothers day?
I was afraid my kids would get sick.
You should make a habit of stealing kids to force them to do your will. It's that or birth them. Why do you think I have some?
:-D
