Something to think about Sunday

My baby's 1st birthday got me thinking, actually remembering.

I remember when I was little (although old enough to read), I would crawl into my parents bed.

Across from the bed, my mom had a plaque hanging on the wall.

This plaque had a picture of a mother rocking a baby and I can still remember what it said,






"Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow...
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow...
So quiet down cobwebs...
dust go to sleep...
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep."






I don't know who wrote this, but now, after 3 kids I understand how true it is.

So today, I ask you to stop, don't clean, don't do laundry for those dirty clothes and dusty shelves will still be there tomorrow. Instead, really focus on and enjoy the ones you love. Today they are here and today they want you ~ all of you.

So true. I took my nephew and son this morning to see the movie Astro Boy. Its was worth the $46 we spent on the tickets and the food. So expensive but worth it!

I knew you'd like that Steeler photo! It's from the last game against Brett Favre, the kids were so excited to see him play...then more excited to beat him!
