Mom and Me

So, What's Next?

I've been thinking about what to do with the "Mom & Me" blog.  Should it go away or should I do something else with it?  I've rolled this around for the month since Mom died and figure we'll keep it up.  

With changes...

Blogging about my Mother would be a bit maudlin (look it up...it's a GREAT WORD) but blogging about your Mom would be fun and a way to help you celebrate your relationship with your mother and mothers everywhere.

So, here's the deal:  Send me your thoughts about your Mom.  The funny stuff, the stuff that you want to remember, celebrate, share and I'll do the work here.  If you want to include a photo...go ahead that really helps make the story.

I know that you may or may not have the opportunity to do your own "Mom & Me" so...let me help celebrate Mom here.

So here are the (suggested) rules:

• It's gotta be your Mom....OK?;
• Be nice...;
• Make your story less than 300 words;
• Send a photo along, does not have to be huge...less than 1mb works great;
• Have...fun...be sincere...open up a little;
• And, share with your friends and family.

My REAL email address is Michael@InsightCubed.com go ahead...share your Mom Story with others.  I'm looking forward to the adventure.

And...so it goes!

 

"I'm So Frustrated!"

I heard her in the bedroom...grumbling. "This darn thing.  I just don't know why you buy these chemicals."

What's the matter?

"The can of dusting stuff.  How does it work?

What do you mean?  I round the corner and there she stood glaring at the aerosol can of Endust.

"I've been twisting and twisting this top and I can't get the stuff to come out."

Mom, it's a spray can.

"A what?"

A can that you push the top and spray it out.

"Where does it come out at?"

See that little nozzle?  You hold the can, press the top button and out comes the stuff.

"How much comes out?"

It depends on how long you hold down the button.

"This is silly.  Why not just screw off the top, pour some on the rag and be done with it?"

Because it's an aerosol can.

"What a waste of time with these new gadgets!  I could have been done an hour ago."

And so it goes...
