Don't even think of inquiring what a "SC" is ... Us guys don't wonder about stuff like that. I just sorta figured it meant Silly Chick. <g> And since it couldn't possibly apply to me, I was and continue to be unconcerned about becoming a "SC". So until I am advised otherwise, I remain the BB. <g>

Bumpity Bump :) bump bump bump Silly Chump :) Hey I was introduced to the hedge trimmer today. I am ripping out all my herbs and cleaning up that little herb place. The Lavender was about reading to go, but it reared its deep roots up at me and screamed, "I'm gonna fight you" so we compromised... I tried the shovel, the axe and then discovered the hedge trimmer... It is cut waaaaaaayyyy back now and still survives. I learned a small lesson... one should do that early in the morning... it's hot out thar!

So, we had this great 10-year-old cat named Jack who just recently died. Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on this mat in our bathroom. Well, we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4-years-old, 3-years-old and 1-year-old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves ChapStick. LOVES IT. He kept asking to use my ChapStick and then losing it. So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my ChapStick and how he could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to put it right back in the drawer when he was done. Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and try to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys are fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to nurse my little one at the same time I am putting on my make-up. Everything is a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood. We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I am looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the corner to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was applying my ChapStick very carefully to Jack's . . . rear end. Eli looked right into my eyes and said, "chapped." Now if you have a cat, you know that he is right-- their little butts do look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind. And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth. And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there will always be that day when you realize they've been using your ChapStick on the cat's butt.
