My Mom would say, "I don't care always comes to a bad end".

And if we did something wrong (once every ten years or so!!!) she would say well, was it worth the rosarys you'll have to say after confession"

My dad used to tell us- "Anything worth doing, is worth doing right the first time." Dang if he wasn't correct.

I cry even all this time that has passed. Dad decided that he was not staying here without so he passed away about 10 years later. But my parents, especialy my mom, were all Polish and I loved every minute of it. The grand children, my son and daughter would roar with laughter when they would pinch their fingers in a door and "mom-mom" would kiss them, dirt and all and asked them.. Ahhh did you hurt your little nunners".. She and her 3 sisters had words for various parts of the body that the CIA would never know what they meant. Everytime I hit my finger and catch them in something, I get this big smile as I remember her kissing my little "nunners" to make them better. Wow, thank you to whome ever came up with this today. You made me smile and I so needed it. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Blue (but not sad) She also used to scold us for touching something or someone we shouldn't have by saying..."if you touch that again, I'll break your arm off and beat you with it." With 7 brothers and sisters, someone had to be in control! She was it. She loved us all unconditionally, and we were never too old to be rocked in her arms. I know this for a fact, as she once sat in the rocking chair and rocked me in her arms when I was a married adult. She reveled in our joy and wept for our sadness. I adored her and miss her more than I can say. God bless our Moms! Cherish them! Enough now, the screen is blurry and my glasses have fogged up! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all. |
moms and now my favorite is oh just eat it, it won't stink in your a$$. hahhaha
and when she didn't want us to pay attention she would say oh buzz off, so I wuld go buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz am I off yet. hahahaha Oh I was so bad. |
On child rearing.
People can either say "Here they come!" with excitement or, "Here they come!" with dread. One my girls always hear. Always be gracious and kind. |
Well begun is half done.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Pretty is as pretty does. (And a lot of the sayings already mentioned...) |
