girl, you just brought up an ancient memory! when my son was 5 or 6 i had bilateral mastectomies so i was laid up for a bit. but one day i felt strong enough to take a shower without help, YAY. so i'm sitting stark naked on the only seat in the room (ahem) and the door from my bedroom opens and in walks ds and 5 of his closest friends. obviously it was a house tour, as josh says, "and this is the bathroom and that's my mom on the toilet. bye, mom" and a whole little chorus of bye, mom s as they go out the other door into the hall. i didn't sing in the shower that day, but i would have given anything to be a fly on the wall at all those dinner tables that night! lol

I don't sing in the shower, I sing in the car, to the top of my lungs when a song come on that I like, usually on the oldies station a Motown song! But I never even thought to sing in the shower, I don't want to get soap in my mouth... and yes I would no matter what you say I would! I spent 3 hours at Mom's hand stitching and visiting, listening to the same stories. She amazes me, that she remembers stuff from 49 or 50 years ago but can't remember what she is doing today, or where she left her keys!

Sing away you soap box Queens~

Marybeth my mom died at the grand old age of 91. She remembered every President that ever was in office, VP also. She was a naturalized citizen. Being American was so important to her. She never lost her memory ever. Her eyes however another story. My sis once showed her a photo of our trip to Sedona. This was a pic of a tree in front of a trussell bridge very beautiful .. My mom says oh Peachy (me) she looks so pretty in this one. Uh no people just a tree. that would be me looking pretty as always. I don't think I will be as lucky should I live so long. My memory has been way laid since last summer and I look and I look and where I put it I cant remember. Your right, the yesterday however is easier to remember than what is upfront. hard isnt it to watch and listen again? maybe this is why we repeat ourselves more as we get older. I hear that all the time from the kids MOM you already TOLD me that. I smile and gypsy curse them like my mother did us. She would say Just u vait. u vill have children ov ur own. and point at us while she did it. now I now why she smiled. I am smiling now too

my mother cursed me with children, too. but mine turned out better than hers and it annoyed her. my kids didn't fight with each other very often. of course, the youngest got busted by her older brother for being out late (really late) as he was coming in.(really late!) but he was of age, and male, and she wasn't. and no, i am not being sexist. i think women/girls are more likely to be attacked than males are. but they all grew up, just to spite me! i wasn't able to point the fiunger and curse them, but i do say they would be blessed to have children just like themselves. lololol the oldest is learning what i've been talking about with dgd! she is 19 mos.old and quick and bright and very cute, and charming and very, very clever, just like her daddy, the other day she was showing her newest tutu (i know, newest? who has enough tutus you can have a newest? my dgd. but no tiaras yet. now that worries me! lol) and she was twirling around. she stopped unsteadily and said, "oooo, dizzy!" i cracked up! thank goodness she's not blonde! i can laugh because i was, and inside i still am, blonde.
