Thank You Very Much!

I'm in a bit of a mood with my little family right now, so it seems like the perfect time to tell them all....Thank You Very Much!

Thank You Very Much, Teenage Daughter, for literally sitting on the couch with your feet propped up while I mopped the entire house, then complaining because I put too much bleach in the mop water. You're lucky you weren't wearing that mop water after that!

Thank You Very Much, family, for letting me take care of all of the animals. I love seeing that they've had no food or water all day, nor have they been let outside. Because that is awesome!

Thank You Very Much, family, for forgetting how to use the dishwasher, washing machine, broom, mop, etc. Apparently I'm the only one who remembers how to operate them! Sweet!

Thank You Very Much, Sofia the boxer, for eating my coconut birthday cake. I didn't need any more anyway (but I did want more!). At least you didn't have explosive diarrhea this time!

Thank You Very Much, 8th Grade Social, for turning yourself into a mini-Prom and draining my bank account. Ouch! I can't wait until you're DONE!

And lastly, a sincere Thank You Very Much for all of your birthday wishes - I truly appreciate them!

Wordful Wednesday ~ Mother's Day Edition

Mother's Day 2010

I had a pretty great Mother's Day. First we went to church for our Mother's Day service. The kids brought me flowers. It was very nice.
Then we went home and I spent most of the day relaxing by the pool, which is exactly how I wanted to spend my Mother's Day. John grilled burgers & hot dogs for dinner. The kids gave me cards, plants, hugs, love, and a few new gray hairs.
My parents, sister, niece, and niece's fiance also came over to spend the day. We had a ton of good food and I got more nice gifts for my birthday.
The cards from the Littles were super-cute, and the card from Tim was super-funny, so I just had to share them.

Hope y'all had a great Mother's Day!

P.S. If you missed yesterday's post, check it out ~ I've started a Snail Mail Project!

The Snail Mail Project

Not long ago, I posted a Random Acts of Kindness post about sending cards. I talked about how so many people don't use snail mail much any more, but a card or letter can really brighten someone's day.
Many of my readers commented that they actually send cards and letters quite often, and I was thinking, I need to get on their mailing lists, because I don't get nearly enough fun mail!
So, that got the little wheels in my little brain turning. I think it would be fun to do a Snail Mail Project!
I'm sure there are others out there, but I want to start my own, thankyouverymuch!
And I'm really hoping my awesome bloggy friends will join in with me.
All you have to do is leave a comment telling us a little bit about yourself: things you like or collect, favorite color, etc. Be sure you leave your email address! I will then match you up with your Snail Mail partner. It will be like a blog swap, only smaller and ongoing.
Also, when I get an official button made up, I will ask you to put in on the sidebar of your blog. The one on this post is a temporary.
Now, please, if you sign up for this, make sure you're going to participate. Please be willing to send at least one thing per month: nothing elaborate, just a letter or card. But please do not sign up if you don't feel that you'll be able to be a good, reliable Snail Mail partner. This should be fun for both partners! (that's what she said!) And this is one of the few inexpensive ways to have fun that we have left!
I'm going to leave the first comment myself, because I'm going to participate too; I don't want to be left out of the fun! I really hope you join in.
*ETA* If you would like to email me directly, you are welcome to do so. My email address is puttingthefunindysfunctional(at)gmail(dot)com .

Consider it your birthday gift to me! I am 37 today! =)
