Happy Mothers Day to my children

I found this poem years ago and it always makes me giggle - so happy Mothers Day to all moms, and of course to my children. And here is what you all have to look forward to.


When I'm an old lady

When I’m an old lady, I’ll live with my son.
And make his life happy and filled with such fun,
I want to pay back all the joy he’s provided,
When I’m an old lady and live with my son.

I’ll write on the wall with red, white and blue,
And bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes,
I’ll drink from the carton and then leave it out,
I’ll stuff all the toilets and oh will he shout!
When I’m an old lady and live with my son.

When he’s on the phone and just out of reach,
I’ll get into things like sugar and bleach.
Oh he’ll snap his fingers and then shake his head,
And when he’s all done I’ll hide under the bed.
When I’m an old lady and live with my son.

When my son’s wife cooks dinner and calls me to meals,
I’ll not eat my green beans or salads congealed.
I’ll gag on my brussel sprouts, spill my milk on the table,
And when she gets angry, run fast as I’m able,
When I’m an old lady and live with my son.

I’ll sit close to the T.V., thru the channels I’ll click,
I’ll cross both my eyes and see if they stick,
I’ll take off both my socks and throw one away,
And play in the mud until the end of the day.
When I’m an old lady and live with my son.

And later in bed, I’ll lay back and sigh,
And thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
And my son will look down and with a smile slowly creeping,
And say with a groan, “she’s so sweet when she’s sleeping.”
When I’m an old lady and live with my son . . . .

$25 Walmart giftcard giveaway compliments of Cascade Complete All-in-one Actions Packs -

Thank you all for entering and leaving comments.
The winner is Lyn!



MyBlogSpark offered me this challenge and giveaway to post on my blog.
They sent me a very nice baking dish and a package of Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs for the dishwasher.


This is the challenge I got from Cascade - We dare you to take the 24 Hour Challenge.

Instructions:

Bake a Cherry Cobbler.* Enjoy!

Set the empty baking dish out for 24 hours

Without rinsing, put it in the dishwasher with Cascade Complete


Now I normally rinse all the dishes pretty well before I load them in the dishwasher, don't you?

and then, they wanted me to post a picture of the dried-on, unrinsed, unscrubbed dish when it came out the dishwasher. I thought this was very bold of them and did not think there would be a clean dish at the end of the cycle,
but see for yourself! It really did come clean. I think I've finally found a dishwasher detergent I really like.


They provided me with a $25 Walmart giftcard to award to one of the commenter's.
To enter, just tell me what meal leaves the most mess on your cookware
