Bulletin Boards & Becoming my Mother

There was a mad rush on bulletin boards today! Renee was finishing hers when I got there to start mine and Lesley's crew showed up shortly after. Since I'm terrible with names, I can't tell you who the other lady was that showed up to do her board. I do apologize to you~ I can now mark two things off my to-do list....business card and bulletin board. Dr. H. loaned me a curriculum development plan so that I could make sure that I know what I'm doing for Dr. W.'s class! Since my brain has turned to mush and I can't seem to form a coherent thought now days! It was kinda fun working on those boards with everyone that was there! I do believe the my husband and I gave some comic relief! My drama queen daughter, got into a little trouble when she couldn't keep her smart mouth shut. I believe she told me that she now has a "LARGE" bruise on her back! Well, I couldn't just outright hit her in the office, so I pinched her, and I was instantly taken back to when I was her age. My mother could pinch the fire out of us and no one would ever be the wiser! I think I have finally become my mother. LOL
I did apologize to her for hurting her, but I think she will think twice before she gets "smart" with me again in public.

My husband told me the other day I'm just like my mom... That's not always a bad thing!

It is really scary when I say something and look around for my mom! Sometimes I sound just like her. Fortunately for my daughter, she was with Tiffany working on taking down the other BB and not with me yesterday. My other daughter has been talking to me all morning but I haven't heard a word that she has said. This blogging and Facebook is very time consuming.

Hi. I am the "other lady" who was there putting up the bulletin board. My name is Dianna but don't feel bad about not remembering it. I can't remember the name of anyone in the class. I mean we only heard the name and saw the face in conjunction with each other for about two minutes one day about two weeks ago. I can't imagine why we don't all know everyone's name and face. lol

LOL...my mom did the SAME thing when my siblings and I were kids, but it was always during church. If my sister and I would get to making noise, talking, etc., mom would do this killer pinch (grab and twist). Well, I learned how to pinch from her, that's for sure. I feel guilty every time I even THINK of doing that to my little boy, but there have been those moments...in public...when he's pushed the limits because he knows I don't want to make a scene...and how close I have come before to becoming that part of my mother! :)

Your daughter will be just fine!

My mom bought me a pillow for Christmas that says,
"Mirror, mirror on Wall
I've become my mother after all."

That used to be a lot funnier!!!

Oh....remember saying or thinking, "I'll never do that to my children....."
I can't tell you how many times my mother has laughed after I have told her about some little story....."You deserve every little bit of it honey......" That is usually when I wonder how I even survived my childhood.....lol

It seems that at some point we all become out Moms.

Why do our children make us want to beat them?

Yes, you and your family did provide some much needed comic relief. It wasn't that you were doing anything really to laugh at, it was just the fact that I actually did have my kids there to fight with and you guys just gave me flash backs to me with my family on stressful outtings.

Don't worry, I am beginning to think that we all tend to see our mother's in ourselves at some point. Just this morning I noticed something about myself that is my mom made over!

You're too funny. People say I'm like my mom, but I disagree.
