Human Alarm Clock

I find this very funny, and I gave my youngest son a hard time about it.  

A few weeks back he told me he was going to lay down for a quick nap and asked me to wake him up in a little over an hour, so he could get up and help me work our dogs on the treadmill, I couldn’t help but laugh.

I asked: “Is ALARM CLOCK written on my forehead??”   It’s not like he doesn’t have his own alarm clock in his room, which by the way I referred to. 

His reply was it doesn’t always work!

So I guess you can just call me “ALARM CLOCK”!

Another Mom job I guess.

What’s with that?

Package Directions

The other night I had a craving for some popcorn. So I went to the cabinet and pulled out a pack of microwavable popcorn. I proceeded to unwrap and unfold the packet of popcorn. I have done this so many time over the years since having my microwave and not having to make my popcorn on the stove-top, old fashion way.

For some reason I took the time to read the directions, don’t know why but just did. And I couldn’t help but laugh my butt off! 

The first step of my directions said to unwrap the package by removing the outer cellophane wrapper and then unfold and place it in the microwave. Now come on…. in order for me to read step one of my instructions I had to remove to outer wrapper/cellophane cuz the directions are hidden within the fold of the packet….

Bad Pet Owners

As I sit here tonight instant messaging my best friend I have Animal Plant the TV. Another heart breaking episode of Animal Cops is on and all I want to do is cry. I don’t know why I even watch these shows, perhaps I just long for the happy ending for all these beloved pets that they rescue and find true forever home.

 Like all my critters here, 19 in all, I feel they are all part of my family and in my house, well that is except my two ducks. Sure some would think that’s a lot of critter in the house, but not me. Having a pet in your home is not only comforting, it is entertaining. I couldn’t imagine my home without multiple pets, as much as there are times when they can be very noisy, it’s just who they are. They are ALWAYS happy to greet me, it could be something as simple as a quick trip outside or after I’m gone all day at work, it doesn’t matter. No matter the length of time, they are very happy to see me on my return, unconditionally, no matter what.

How anyone could not be deeply touched by such affection is beyond me. I guess that comes with the fact that I AM A TOTAL CRITTER PERSON.

So I can’t help but ask why do you have a pet to just leave it outside to be exposed to the elements, which are subject to fleas, ticks and mosquitoes, day and night? Plus some of you even leave them outside with out food, water or shelter. 

Why, I ask, are they not in your house and part of the family?

If you don’t plan on caring for their needs, why did you get them in the first place?

They are a LIVING breathing life.
