Arise and Laugh

you know you are a M.O.M. when....
the one thing you look forward to are the adorable hand made creations brought home from school by your loved ones. (NOT, lol)

I know, I know it is a labor of love.... and it can be enjoyed in their room for the holiday season. Then put in the round file. I just recently "filed" something that I have kept for a few years now and just can't do it anymore, a paper plate with a hand print. Oh! and the glitter, what are they thinking. It not only got all over the classroom but at my house it just keeps on giving year after year. I realize glitter sounds like a great idea, but seriously when is it ever fabulous? I do cherish these gifts at the time and have even shed a few tears over some, but then the moment passes and I file them. Enjoy the gift giving season!

carrying the shopping bags is considered part of the weekly strength training workout.

Especially at this time of year when you are constantly carrying in more bags and bigger items for Santa. I try to carry as many bags as I can on each arm to make sure I really strength my muscles.lol I have people say "Oh, you must get a workout chasing and carrying your kids." I just wish it were enough of a workout that I didn't have to go to the gym.
At this wonderful time of year I hope you enjoy the added workout of shopping and transferring gifts. Remember that gifts are only a symbol of the greatest gift of all, Eternal Life.
