I was just thinking as you said that, the first time Gab barfed, I swung my
nigh gown out and caught it all.  And it amazed me that I did not follow
suit.

I saw this and thought I'd share.  A little gross, don't read if you're 
squeamish, but it never hurts to laugh.

A few months ago, I was in the grocery store roaming the bread isle. Wheat, 
white, pita, English muffins ... Boring, boring, boring. And, then I spotted

it: Goldfish Sandwich Bread. There, right in between the milk and the exotic

food aisle, I squealed. Bread, in the shape of a giant Goldfish cracker?! My

kids would be psyched!! This was the best trip to Safeway EVER!!! Wooo-hooo!

And, then it hit me: I am such a mother.

I asked my friends for their "motherhood moments" and the answers made me 
laugh -- I can relate to every single one ... What about you?

I dreamed I met God. He sneezed, and I didn't know what to say to Him.
