I traded eyeliner for dark circles, salon hair cuts for ponytails and braids, long showers for hairy legs, late nights for early mornings, designer purses for diaper bags and I wouldn't change a thing! With Mother's day drawing near lets see how many Mom's will forward this. Mom's don't care what we gave up and will continue to give up for our kids :)?If your not a mom then send it to a mom you do know.

With Mother's Day coming up I thought I would repost this one

Why Women Cry
A little boy asked his mother, 'Why are you crying?'''Because I'm a woman,' she told him. 'I don't understand,' he said.His Mom just hugged him and said,'And you never will.''Later the little boy asked his father, 'Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?'''All women cry for no reason,' was all his dad could say.The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked,'God, why do women cry so easily?'God said:'When I made the woman she had to be special.I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,yet gentle enough to give comfort.I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejectionthat many times comes from her children.I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up,and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue with out complaining.I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances,even when her child has hurt her very badly.I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults andfashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.I gave her wisdomto know that a good husband never hurts his wife,but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfaltering.Finally, I gave her a tear to shed.This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.''You see my son,' said God, 'the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes,because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.'

My new baby camera.

I finally got my Giftcard from Sears for the defective camera I sent back. This isn't the one I wanted but the next step up. So far I am VERY happy with it. It has all the toys options that the GE had plus some. So far my favorite option is the Backlight, so many times people/subjects turn out to be shades dark because of a poorly lit room. Now I do not have to worry about it. I was playing with it last night using first my foot as the subject then, under my bed lol. My foot got to use the backlight option as I was holding my foot up in front of the ceiling light, under the bed was the night mode. I did both of them without the correct option first and then with the correct option. Lemme tell you, there is a HUGE difference and I no longer grumble about the fact that although the web said they had 3 of the ones I wanted and the store said they had none. Happy days indeed lol.
