Mama Told Me (Not to Come)
Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've
committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday.
Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be
totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We
encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we
don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however,
and here is today's meme!
1) This song is about a
lad who didn't take his mother's advice and attended the wild party anyway
(hear it here). When you were young, did your parents
approve of your friends? If you're a parent yourself, how have
you handled it when your kids start hanging
around with friends you're not crazy
about?
I was lucky. When I was growing up there were just six of us that ran together and had AWESOME times. We were always together, except when we had a date, and even then... but we mostly spent our times at my friend Deb's parents house. My parents liked all of my friends. Most of the moms were teachers, so they all kind of knew each other anyway. When my step kids were growing up we were very involved in church and youth groups, so they kids grew up with the youth group and the youth pastor and his wife and kids. We had a nice pool as well, so most evenings were spent at our house during the summer, and my husband had a few cars that he tinkerd with during the winter, and most of the guys were out in the garage with him. They also spent most of the winter in front of our fireplace watching movies. Truly blessed I was!!

2) A 2010 poll named Marge Simpson of The Simpsons the most popular TV mom of all time. Who is your favorite TV (or movie) mother?
Mrs Walton
3) Crazy Sam's mother is a big fan of The National Enquirer. As she likes to say, "They were right about John Edwards!" Do you read the tabloids? Cast a guilty glance at them when you're in line at the store? Or ignore them altogether?
totally ignore them.
4) Mother Winters always gave Sam peppermint tea to calm her stomach. Do you have any tried-and-true home remedies to share?
Vicks on my cracked heels.
5) Thinking of guts ... When making decisions, do you tend to consider all the options carefully or do you "go with your gut"?
Go with my gut...but its not always right!
6) Spring is here! Do you have a green thumb?
I do!
7) Have you put away your winter clothes yet?
I live in Ohio. I NEVER put away my winter clothes. In fact, its 47 right now.
8) After you lather and rinse, do you repeat?
I do!
9) To celebrate Mother's Day, Sam is giving away Hershey bars. Would you prefer classic milk chocolate, dark chocolate or milk chocolate with almonds?
Cracked heels make me nuts.
ReplyDeleteLove this picture of your mom.
I miss mine too.
:)
Vicks on cracked heels! That is genius! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that about Vicks, either! I use a pumice on my heels in the shower, that seems to work really well. And I'm in Michigan. 40 this morning. Ugh.
