We Are Spiritual Beings

This is one of my favorite quotes.  It's by French Philosopher, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955)

If Only...

Find a Guy...

Added this to my collection of Quotes today.  Good advice.

Mama Said...

The thing about ADHD is that you have a hard time focusing in if you feel overstimulated. However, once you find that one thing that grabs your attention, you basically become fixated in on it and can do it for hours and hours on end.

Well, that's what happened to me today. The challenge going around FB was to replace your profile pic with a pic of your mom and to leave it up until Mother's Day. So, as I started looking through pictures I decided to start scanning several in. Turns out my dad had also scanned a few in. So, that just fueled my fire and I spent a shameful amount of time scanning and tagging pictures that I never got around to my Blog Post for the day! Oh well, I don't consider it a complete waste. I do think it's a form of record-keeping and the preservation of family history. So, It's all good.

Anyway -- the Mother's Day Installment for today is centered around things My mother (And Yours) used to say. I posed the question on FB and got several replies. Here are things my Mother (and yours) used to say.

Mama said...

You can do hard things.

Things will work out.

Drink your milk; it will put hair on your chest.

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times...

How many times do I have to tell you?

Remember, the Holy Ghost goes to bed at midnight.

Nothing good happens after midnight.

I brought you into this world, I can take you out.

Remember who you are and what you stand for.

Because I said so!

Don't tell your father. (Especially after buying new shoes.)

Just wait until your father comes home!

Make sure you wear clean underwear! You never know when you're going to get into an accident.

What would your Aunt Bernice think if she knew what you just did?

Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Do it right or do it twice.

You'll need to look it up yourself or you'll never learn how to spell it.

Always act like a lady! (So, if I seem like a lady to you all, you'll know I'm just acting!)

I declare! If your hind end was not attached you would lose it.

Keep your pants zipped up!

You can't fix stupid.

If you just get your jobs done early, you won't have to think about them the rest of the day.

I'm gonna skin you alive.

Where do you think you're going?

It won't hurt when it quits hurting.

Marry a man who treats his mother like a queen.

The only good fight in a marriage is the fight to keep it together.

Think of something he does that annoys you and then ask yourself if you can live with that everyday. If not, then don't marry him. He's not the man for you!

What would Jesus do?

You are a child of God.

Remember, you are a daughter of God, who loves you.

I love you Baby Girl.

I love you.

And of course, Mama said there'd be days like this...

A Wise Man Once Said...

Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.

~Oscar Wilde

Finding Mr. Right

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep...

Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on.

One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'

Happy Bunny Say What?

My neighbor received a Happy Bunny desk calendar for Christmas. Here's a page from the other day:

"Hate is just a special kind of love we give to people who suck."

If you're not familiar with Happy Bunny, then you're missing out my friends. Happy Bunny is great because he/she says things I always think but would never have the guts to say myself. I will say however, that repeating some of Happy Bunny's quotes in my mind while I am irritated with Plebs is quite therapeutic. Here are a few of my favorite Happy Bunny quotes:

"Please Die."
"You're ugly, and that's just sad."
"Please go suck someplace else."
"It's cute how you think I'm listening."
"Wake me when the boring's over."
"You could talk to me, but then where would we put the barf?"

If I could write my own Happy Bunny quotes, here are some I might add:

"My favorite part about Teamwork is when everyone else does what I say."
"No thanks. I don't care for your flavor." (when you see someone approaching that you don't want to talk to.)
"I think they have help for that."
"I've had fun before. This isn't it."
"If I throw a stick, will you leave?"
"And you wonder why you're still single?"
"Everyone's entitled to a little stupidity now and again, but now you're just abusing it."

What about you? What does your Inner Happy Bunny say/wanna say?
