40 things to make you feel old: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/40-things-that-will-make-you-feel-old

Someone from North Korea downloaded my Kiss Boxes!!!
{This new web software tells me EVERYTHING!!}

Need to figure out if I want to send the wee one to school today. She’s running around the house, but she looks like ick! But she’s not sounding to bad. Oh my poor baby.

May 12 Fatigue Syndrome Day
AND International Nurses Day
AND Limerick Day

Some people automatically associate morality and altruism with a religious vision of the world. But I believe it is a mistake to think that morality is an attribute only of religion. We can imagine two types of spirituality: one tied to religion, while the other arises spontaneously in the human heart as an expression of love for our neighbors and a desire to do them good. ~Dalai Lama

Oh Oh Oh “Widget Love” Visitor Maps and Who’s Online Plugin for WordPress – Must Have!!!!!

The problem with contact form 7 is that it doesn’t tell you what site the email is coming from OR the IP of the person spamming you AND there isn’t an easy spam blocker. CF7 works great until a spam bot finds you.

I love my girls. I love to put a little something special in their lunch box, but I don’t want to load it down with junk. These little boxes are a great way to teach ‘moderation‘ and let them know you love them.
I created these little Hershey Kiss Boxes for my daughters lunch box. She loves them. Her friends are jealous. The other moms didn’t like me to begin with ….. they think it’s overkill.
The Hershey Kiss Boxes are printed on 4 X 6 index cards, cut out and …. well if you’re ambitious you can use tacky glue, but I’m usually printing these out within minutes of needing to leave for school so I used double sided scrapbooking tape.
The printouts have a resolution of 300, but can be printed on 4 X 6 cards as long as you set your printer up to do so. Just cut around the outside of the box. Fold all the black lines and stick them together.

ALL art work is by Kellies Kreations

I do own a license to use Kellies art work in my art work as long as I give the printouts away for personal use only.
You are allowed to print the items ONLY. You may give away what you print out. You are not allowed to sell the print outs without written permission from myself and Kellies Kreations.

(For example. You can print out 500 and use the printouts in your wedding.
OR you can print them and sell them at a bake sale as long as there are Kisses IN THEM. You canNOT print them out and sell them empty at ….. lets say a craft fair.
Get the idea? As long as you are using them as packaging for something you are selling – fine, the packaging is considered Free. But you canNOT sell them empty or ‘ready to use’.)

I thought I would look up the true meaning of “May Day” and write a nice little blog about it, but to be honest I got 2 paragraphs in and it was so boring I couldn’t tell you what I read.
There’s to much reading on the web. All information on the web should be written for men – just the facts – but I digress.
So in lieu of a nice long description of May Day which if you REALLY want to know you can Google it, I put together a little May Basket, so you may print, cut out, fill with treats and pretend you have some knowledge of a holiday we only celebrate so we may receive treats.
This template is rather easy.
Print it, of course.
Then cut out the edges.
Fold and glue the flap on the side to the other side and on the bottom – this craft doesn’t take a lot of brain power and for the most part can be done with safety scissors.
You are going to want to print it on card stock OR and this is my favorite – I shrink the thing down to large index card size and print it out on a large index card.
When it’s that small it will accommodate a few little treats and easily fit inside a lunchbox. All the other children will be jealous and the PTA moms will hate you – this is something I live for.
Mine is such a little word, but it’s filled with fun!
So please click on the image below, save it to your hard drive and print away at will. If I ever figure out who created the paper I will post a link to their site, but until then, just know that I did not design the paper or the elements to this little box.
Have fun!

May 11 Eat What You Want Day
AND National Receptionist Day (the second Wednesday in May)
AND School Nurses Day (the Wednesday during Nurse’s Week)
AND Twilight Zone Day (getting Treasure’s hearing tested today – I’m sure this will be a twilight zone day.)

Need to get moving, but these allergies are kicking my butt this morning. *sigh*

Ordered lawn mower battery on the 3rd of May and haven’t even been charged for it yet. It’s the 11th? They don’t want my money?

Need to remember to plant my blue berry bushes tomorrow – should probably get some poop to plant them in, I need some for the apple tree out front too.

Haven’t bitten my nails in 3 days.

Deadliest Catch – ahhhhh, it just makes everything better.

Poor little Treasure, now she has snotty eyes, but she’s hardly sniffy.
She came home and got a comfort tubby, I hope it helps.

Resting. I have to stay healthy.

May 10 Clean up Your Room Day

Writing up a chore chart for the Princess. I told her if she practiced her forms and kicking with me for 15 minutes every evening for a month I’d get her the Littlest Pet Shop whatever it is she wants. I thought she would have said ‘only 15 minutes! Hell yes.’ Nope, she pitched a fit because she had to “Work For It”
Well, the Princess is now going to have to start helping out around the house to earn free time. It’s going to be a hard lesson, but in the end she’ll be a better person.

Mothers Day baskets from Edible Arrangements went over well. I hope they were good, I’d like to keep giving them. It’s nice to have a stand by that everyone likes.
