Too Much of a Good Thing

Sometimes... you CAN overdo it with too much of a good thing. Take, for example, a charming polo shirt, some classic kaki cargo shorts and a pair of stylish brown sandals. Standing alone, it's a debonaire outfit.

BUT, when you meet in the mall for a weekend rendezvous and there are TWO of you wearing the same thing:

Well, you get the idea. Too much of a good thing. Whadday think of these shopping buddies!!

An Homage to Dr. Seuss

Yesterday was Dr. Seuss's birthday, and "Read Across America" as well. Below is my little homage to Dr. Seuss, and a true story of our morning today. Enjoy!















Mommy Rickey woke up, early morning March 3rd,
So many things to do that her memory was blurred.
Get diapers and wipers and food for little Josh,
The bills, vitamin pills and little hands to wash.

With the laundry piled high and Josh screaming for food,
Mama only had time to say, "get up Jacob dude!"
Throwing clothes on both kids and realizing with a start,
Jacob's outfit was part pajamas and not matching the other part.

"Oh well" Mommy Rickey thought, "no one will care"
I mean, kids at daycare? It's not about the fashion they wear.
So fast and so furious they drove off to school,
Well, really not THAT fast - it, of course, is a rule.

Mommy, Jacob and Josh pulled in -- hip hip hooray!
But, alas, Mommy TOTALLY forgot -- Dr. Seuss's Birthday!
Every child was allowed to wear pajamas to school;
How convenient that Jacob's outfit did NOT make him the fool!

Mommy Rickey felt relief. A mommy above all the rest,
Since her hurried outfit choice for Jacob impressed!
"Uh, of course I remembered to let you wear PJs"
She mumbled as she kissed and hugged her little babe.

So, Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! Our family relents,
That we don't always have the time or the clothes that make sense,
But somehow, together, we always pull through,
and have fun "making it work"! We laugh a lot too!
