beliefs
Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 8:37PM Something my husband believes: everything is improved by a hot bath. Got the flu? Take a bath. Hangnails? Bath. Toothache? Get in the tub, man.
Stay in there until you get nice and pruney In fact, stay in so long that people worry about you and knock on the door to make sure you haven't drowned.
Something my three year old believes: braids, ponytails, pigtails, and barrettes are products sent by Satan himself to torture humankind. Nevertheless, hair must be waist length and preferably unbrushed.
Something my eight year old believes: this is the worst day of his life. I am, in fact, ruining his life as I type this. Oh wait? Was that? Hold on a moment...
Sorry, just checking to see if my eight year old was in fact, dead on the ground from the want of a Nintendo DS.
(Still breathing, but barely.)
Something my six year old believes: bedrooms are best left as though a cyclone ripped through them, strewing debris, shrapnel, and detritus. Clean bedrooms are sent directly from Satan to torture humankind.
Something I believe: it's time to knit.

The hot bath cure is a fact; a scientific, highly verifiable fact!
Honey, you're alive! You didn't drown after all!
I believe college aged students have no excuse for not coming to class, doing their work and taking their exams on time. They are given a schedule - they know these things in advance.
Students - they believe that I am Satan.
So, please inform the children that I have not sent anything their way in order to ruin their lives. ;>).
oh boy - knit on! Do a little extra for me while you're at it! :)
Something I believe: a little dose of the Yarnista goes a long way toward cheering up my day.
LOL :)
Gotta love kids :)
Something a certain 53 year-old believes: I have the funniest, quirkiest, most beloved family ever.
I've been knitting since I got up this morning. I believe it's better than the alternative ;)
I believe that kids are hilarious when they are not wearing you out. Or wearing you down (in the case of the Big Need Thing).
I believe that baths and/or hot tea cures a lot of stuff. And I'm a nurse.
I believe that grandchildren are even better than your own kids. Just this week, my little grandaughter (age 2.5) used the potty and when I said "yeah for you!", she said "no, Grandma, this is where you say "you're wonderful, you're so smart!"
I believe I need more yarn.
I believe there's never enough time to knit.
Sorry Sharon, but i'm on board with your 6 yr-old :-)
Making a bed just takes away from knitting time!
I convinced my now 5yo that when she started school she HAD to have her hair tied up... before that she agreed with your 3yo, now she tolerates it as she loves school!
I believe in those last 2 things
My husband thinks Nivea and Vicks are cures for everything!
Something I believe: It is best not to always sleep with your window open, that way when a skunk sprays outside your bedroom window, you won't wake up at 4:00 A.M. with your nose burning from the stench.
My five year old daughter hold the same beliefs as your three year old when it comes to hair doo-dads. Thankfully, her hair has never grown very much and has always been shoulder length.
I believe naps are a gift from God. I also believe that iced tea is the best thing since knitting.
Amen sister!! LOL Especially the last one!
Sharon...when did our 3-year-olds get together? Lexie thinks the brush is an instrument of torture invented just to make her cry, but cutting her hair is absolutely unthinkable.
