Good for the soul

what things can cheer you up in an instant?

I am just sitting here and the little boy next door (3ish) has just come out dressed in a red mac and hat, printed all over to look like a firemans uniform, a pair of snorkle glasses and a snorkle , and a pair of flippers on his hands. he is now trying to ride his bike (rather unsucessfully due to flipper-gloves) and appears to be having the time of his life, really lifted my mood.

I had a rushed morning. I quickly got ready and flew to work (not literally of course) and was going to be late... was faffing in the car getting my bag and changing my shoes and then got out the car and one of the guys from work was waiting for me as he saw me pull up. We had a nice little chat on the way into work and two co-workers saw us walk in together and said 'How come you are late this morning' and he said 'We fancied a lie in' and then winked... Cracked me up. Now I am in a great mood.

Yes BJ, every little anecdote is just making me smile more and more, oh, and the sun is out here for the first time in days, yippee, the day is just getting better and better.

[bigmamma]

I have a cheery smile also because I am getting work starting tomorrow on a new bathroom Ive been waiting ages for. So today I will be taking everything out of it in readiness , ...yay ...:-)

My niece cheers me up no matter why I'm in a bad mood.

She's two and a half, and at the weekend my mum and I clubbed together and bought her a 'big girl' bed. She was over the moon and couldn't stop hugging and kissing us. She then told me, "We can share now like good girls. You can have [her name}'s cot!" (she's still referring to herself in the third person). Bless her.

Ah, and she also told my mum she saw my boyfriend's willy and it's funny! LOL! I've never seen him go so red. I think we might have to chuck her out whilst we're getting changed now that she can remember things. :o)

My sisters little girl asked her: "Where do I buy a house mammy?" to which we replied the Estate Agents... her face was puzzled for a minute or so before she came out with: "But how do I take it home?!?!"

ROFLWAFFLES.

A friend and I were watching TV and the word prostitute was mentioned, her daughter (then 5) asked what a prostitute was, to which my friend replied 'a lady who works at night', which was fine until we went to Tesco's petrol station late in the evening, and the little girl, remembering the explanation, asked the shop assistant if she was a prostitute! Perfect logic on the childs behalf, not so clever on her mums though.

lol warpig , out of the mouths of babes ..... it reminds me of when my son was tiny and I used to say he had to go to bed because the film I was wanting to watch was not for children , only for adults. Well a few days later when his kinder teacher asked if he was a good boy at going to bed , he proudly proclaimed that yes he had to as mummy wanted to watch her adult movies !!!!

[China Doll]

There's a song called accidently in love by the counting crows. It has no significant meaning to me but it's just one of those songs that when ever I hear it or I'm grumpy always makes me smile... no idea why!

Also watching disney cartoons... yes, even the Doll has a soft side ;0)

[warpig3]

LOL big mamma, now I come to think of it, the name 'big mamma' could have been a character in one of those films!!! Actually quite a lot of the usernames on here could!

[leelapops]

I am tickled pink by this thread!

What cheered me up this morning was posting my final essay of the year in this morning, knowing I now have all summer to work a little and play a lot!

Also, the sun is out. And my thread yesterday about what we HAVE got reminded me how lucky I am!

....MAGIC BUM!! *snorts*

Whenever I hear the song "wake up Boo" it always makes me happy, cos it reminds me of when hubby and I first got together.

My little one was writing me a letter the other day and shouted from the table "Mum how do you spell beautiful" I was about to start when he shouted again "oh never mind - I don't need to know anymore"

The letter said
Dear Mum,

I love you and you are so pritty and grate

love from Ciar xcxcxcxcxxcxcxcxcxcx.

Awwwww!

[pixiepie]

my daughter made me smile yesterday as she went on a school trip and used the momey she had taken to buy me and her a lollipop each. Bless

This thread has just reminded me of something my eldest son once said to me when he waxs about 6-7, he's now nearly 16! We were talking about the Titanic because an old documenary was on the TV about it . I asked him if he knew what happened to it and he said it had hit an ice cube!!!!! Bless him!!!! I must remind him about that!

[warpig3]

Ha, ha jules, brilliant, yes you must remind him, preferably in front of his friends/gf.

[jules1968]

oh yes, has to be the girlfriend for full effect warpig!

I love this thread!

One wet, horrible morning I asked my son then 4 or 5 (now 9) what he wanted for breakfast 'Pink milk and blue sky' was the reply. I loved it so much it's the screen saver on my mobile phone and even now on wet mornings someone will shout 'What do you want for breakfast?' followed by a chorus of 'pink milk and blue sky'!

I used to write the cute things he said in a book and we often look at it.

Couple more

I asked my nephew why he was jumping up and down on my bed ' Because I'm the frog of disaster. Ribbit Ribbit'

And according to my neice her Mum has 'websites' behind her radiators.

My wife and her business partner had an appointment and asked if I would pick up the partners' 8 year old girl from school.
When she came out she said to me 'I didn't know who was meeting me today and when I saw it was you I was really excited'
Made me feel good but sligthly guilty as I had done a little moan when I was asked.

My 3 year old came and got into bed with me at 6.30 or so, and I wasn't very happy. Then he said, "you cuddle me and I'll cuddle you. I just want peace and quiet." Suited me just fine, and started my day off really well too!!
