Obviously this house has more testosterone than estrogen…Roo was working out homophones the other day for school and the sentence said something about a princess going to a _____.
After much scratching of head and begging for some insight, because the princess could have gone to the bank or the play also…he asked if I would accept either of those. Well…I suggested he walk through the possible word list one more time. Outloud. Finally he caught the word, but I have to wonder if he really, truly understands the concept of a ball from a party and dancing aspect. I would hazard a guess that he doesn’t. But that is okay, he is a little too young to be worried about being Prince Charming…yet.
I rarely enjoy all those forwarded e-mails, but I liked this one:
This is very timeless and poignant...
1. Life isn't fair, but God is still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile!
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14 If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
17. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, and wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

19. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
20. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"

22. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
23. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
24. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
25. Believe in miracles.
26. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
27. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
28. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.
29. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.
30. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
31. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
32. If you don't ask, you don't get.
33. Yield.
34. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
