It's FRIDAY !

 Each day you wake up is another day that

you have been given to do with as you wish. 

       Enjoy it.  Revel in it.  Use it well.
                                                                                     Stephanie Culp

                          

  ONE OF THESE DAYS  

One of these days you'll explode
and shout to all the kids,
Why don't you just grow up
and act your age?

And, they will................  

 Or, You guys get outside
and find something to do...
without hurting each other....
AND DON'T SLAM THE DOOR!

And they don't...............    

You'll straighten their bedroom
until it's all neat and tidy,
toys displayed on the shelf..
hangers in the closet....
animals caged...
You'll yell
NOW I WANT IT TO STAY THIS WAY!

And it will..........................  

You will prepare a perfect dinner
with a salad that hasn't
had all the olives picked out
and a cake with
no finger traces in the icing
and you'll say,
NOW THIS IS A MEAL FOR COMPANY!

And you will eat it alone......    

You'll yell
I want complete privacy on the phone!
No screaming,
DO YOU HEAR ME?

And no one will answer..........

  No more plastic tablecloths stained
No more dandelion bouquets,
No more iron-on patches,
No more wet, knotted shoelaces,
muddy boots or
rubber bands for ponytails  

Imagine.....a lipstick with a point!
No babysitters for New Years Eve!
Washing clothes only once a week!
No PTA meetings or silly school plays
where your child is a tree,
or a little dutch girl named Mena,
no car pools,
blaring stereos or
forgotten lunch money  

No more Christmas presents made
of library paste and toothpicks,
No wet oatmeal kisses,
No more tooth fairy,
No more giggles in the dark,
Scraped knees to kiss
Or sticky fingers to clean  

 

Only a voice asking
WHY DON'T YOU GROW UP?

And the silence echoes:

I did.

I found the poem above while surfing yesterday and I thought how true it was.  This is the way I am now.  They all grew up and I hardly know where the time went to.

Take time to enjoy each moment !

                                                      

I am soooo glad it's FRIDAY ! 

  You cannot always have happiness,

but you can always give happiness.

 Good Morning !  May God Bless Your Day !   MA
