How sweeeeeeeeeeet! That's the very first thing my 6 yr old son does... gets out of bed, comes searching for me (not that he has to look far), wraps his little arms around my neck and says "I love you mommy".
God that just melts me.....

Reading the most wonderful message left in a birthday card for me by my son. It might have only taken him 2 minutes to write, but what he wrote will stay with me til the end of my days.

[Peggy]

My son has decided that he needs (his word) to meet all the men I've met online (by "met" I mean Im'd with, talked to on the phone, met in person, etc). :eek:

I told him, "sorry, but I'm not going to live long enough for you to meet them all"

So he's selected a privileged few -

Joey, Mike, Dan, a couple of people from the site I used to own, and a few others.

I'm in trouble.... :blush:

Saturday is my grandson's birthday party (he turned four the day before yesterday) and yesterday he was out with his Mother getting the supplies (cake mix, party hats, etc) and she asked him...

Mom: Do you want chips and dip at your party?
Him: NO, just chips!
Mom: You don't want dip?
Him: No!
Mom: You usually like dip?
Him: No dip!
Mom: Then what kind of chips do you want?
Him: Chocolate chips!

So rather then chips and dip at the party this weekend we are getting cookies!

Reading a thread here and seeing that it was also being read by Peggys1&only

[Peggy]

A quote in an email I received this morning from the single parents group I belong to. Fits me very well -

" I admit that over the past couple of years I have become independent, and don't NEED a man in my life. But it sure is nice spending time with a man that is taller than 48"!!! "

[Peggy]

"Life is way too short to spend it waiting on someone to make you happy. Just work on being happy and things will fall into place."

[fire_lady]

Rain made me smile today. Nice, steady long-lasting rain, not a 1-minute downpour that looks like a car wash for a few moments and then dries up.

Now the rain is falling on the dill and cucumbers I planted earlier this week. Heh, glad I saw this coming and cut the grass before dark yesterday.

[Swerve1000]

Had a good phone call today.

I applied to do a Software Engineering degree at University starting this October a couple months back and the course access tutor called me today asking about what I know, experience and stuff.

I told her, she looked at a couple of my sites (whilst I was on the phone to her, eek), and I got an email a couple hours later saying as long as i send in my exam certs, I've got a place on the course.:)

This is great news if I do get on, really want to get into programming, as for me, it seems all the good stuff requires PHP/C++/Javascript type knowledge and this will help boost my lagging IT career a ton.

Wanted to do something like this for a good couple years now as being able to do this kind of stuff will let me make the scripts I want for the sites I wanna make, and also allow me to work anywhere in the world and still drag a decent wage.
