This is a fun little ditty that was emailed to me. These are definitely some of my favorite things.

Ramblings of a Housewife - Poem

You know that poem "There was an old Women" I'm always repeating that to my kids. So I decided to come up with my own version.

There was a young mother
who lived in the burbs.
She had four children
who got on her nerves.
She drove them to soccer
and football and dance.
Then she yelled at them sternly
to pick up their pants.
She gave them all baths
without any bubbles.
Then she ate some more chocolate
to relieve all her troubles.
She read them all stories
and tucked them in bed.
Then she whispered “I love you”
and kissed each head.
Now the kids are all sleeping
and the house is all quiet.
So now’s the perfect time
to go blow her diet.

This is dedicated to all the moms out there - Ann

Nothing says summer like corn on the cob

It's that time of year again, with fireworks, water skiing, family reunions, hamburgers and corn on the cob. I always wait with great anticipation for July when our local farm picks thier first crop of sweet corn. I probably frequent the farm stand 2-3 times a week for corn, no matter what we are having for dinner corn is always a good side dish.
