My Rollercoaster Week

My week has been somewhat of a hard one. Nothing particularly bad has happened. Just the womanly rollercoaster. When I was walking JT home from school, he said "Mom, yesterday you weren't in a good mood, and today you are. How can you be so happy so fast? " Good observation son. One of which he will have a lifetime to figure out. A midwife I work with told me that the worst 5-7 years of her life was menopause. (not that I'm there, thankgoodness) She said it was like going through puberty all over again. She said you lose all sense of self and who you are. I am not looking forward to that. I thought I had it bad now. I just hope that in 10 years they have all the kinks worked out with hormone replacement therapy. Because my family probably won't live through that. So, anyways to cheer up my week and possibly yours, I'm posting a few cute clean jokes. Read on.... Oh by the way, no pictures today, because I have lost or possibly thrown my battery charger away on my camera. Way to go Katherine!!!


Adam was walking outside of the Garden of Eden with Cane and Abel when the boys were young. Cane and Abel looked into the garden and viewed waterfalls, lovely birds, lush forests and fruit trees bending over because of the large amounts of fruit on them. Then they took a long look at where they lived at. It was dry, dusty with weeds and sickly-looking trees. "Daddy? Why don't we live in there instead of out here?" they asked innocently. Adam said, "Well sons. Eve and I use to live in there at one time. But your mother ate us out of house and home."

At a friend's wedding, everything went smoothly until it was time for the flower girl and her young escort to come down the aisle. The boy stopped at every pew, growling at the guests. When asked afterward why he behaved so badly, he explained, "I was just trying to be a good ring bear."

If it's true that girls are inclined to marry men like their fathers, it is understandable why so many mothers cry so much at weddings

When Suzy got home, she told her dad that she got a 100 in school. Her dad told her to sit down and tell him all about it. She said, "Well, I got a 20 in math, a 30 in science, and a 50 in spelling! Two kids were trying to figure out what game to play. One said, "Let's play doctor." "Good idea." said the other. "You operate, and I'll sue." I guess you can get too health conscious. My wife and I don't have a lot of "junk food" in the house. Upon eating a snack of some munchies or other my Grandson asked what vitamins they had in them. I told him I doubted there were any at all. He replied wide-eyed, "You mean these are just for fun ?" A kindergarten teacher asked, "What is the shape of the earth ?" One lil' girl spoke up: "According to my Daddy -- terrible!" Trying to come to the aid of his Father, who was stopped by an officer for speeding, the lil' tyke piped up, "Yeah? Well, if we were speeding, so were you !"

After putting her children to bed, a mother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. At last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard her three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was that?"

Get that camera fixed! I saw pictures of the boys on Ron and Mary's sight. They are super cute and so big! I like the last joke about the kid asking 'who was that'. Andrew sometimes looks at me weird when I had a towel around my head and I am sure he is thinking the same thing!

I didn't know you had a blog. I saw this off of Diana's. Cute cute boys. I love looking at blogs because our family parties are so overwhelming that I never get to pay attention to each family.

Katherine, it was so fun to find your blog! Now we can keep in touch and see what is going on in each other's lives. I've been so busy getting ready for this baby I haven't had time to sit these days. I REALLY miss our Cottonwood days. I have already been down here for over 2 years and I am finally starting to feel like part of the Dixie Regional family. Nothing can compare to CWH, though. If anyone else has a blog from CWH, I need to know. I've already linked Emma and Michelle's (and JoRae of course). Are there any others that you know of?
