Real Life Says...

Real life says...
that if the kitchen hasn't been mopped
since Gramsie last visited three months ago

(and that's because Gramsie mopped it),

then the day you stay up during nap to scrub it clean,
will be the same day the baby hurls
over a nine square foot section
of freshly cleaned floor

and son #2 spills
a whole glass of grape juice
over an entirely different section.

It's the same phenomena at work here.


Real life says...
Boldthat if you spend the day
making a new recipe of 15 Bean soup
with Cajun seasoning and Little Smokies...

Your 5 year old daughter will refer to it as:

Hot Dog Soup.


It's a mothers life.

At least it's consistent.

Real life says that if you wash the car....it will rain that evening

Real life says if you are finally able to take all of the cardboard boxes out of the playroom and outside to wait for recycling day...that night, it will rain

for some reason....rain does not like me! :)

What a wonderful life it is!!! :) How many blessings we reap when we react to "real life" the way the Lord would have us to!

Blessings to you!!!

Ahh... Yes. The blessings we reap!

It WOULD make a good book though, don't you think? I bet we gals could compile quite a collection of "Real Life Says..."
Let me know as real life hits you with more :-)

Love to you both!

I believe we were sisters, separated at birth. Real life happens here, too.
