The Freedom Of A Puddle Pouncing!

whether it we pooch or playfriend... i firmly believe in splashing in puddles!
i don't really like to use an umbrella when it rains
i love storms
thunder
roaring winds
aren't rain boots fun to look at?
i think umbrellas are kinda cool looking...lol
this morning as I was getting in my car for work at 6 am
a dad and his little boy (probably 18 months) were heading out to day care
the dad said "look puddles! want to jump in them?"
and he did. with joy, spirit, gusto, messily, dripping
and dad said "look, here's another one! here's a bigger one!"
now how cool is that!
Rain bashing, rain crashing,
In the puddles, children splashing,
Mother's tongue has started lashing,
Everyone is wet!
Rain slopping, rain stopping,
In the puddles, children hopping,
Mother's hands have started mopping,
Everyone, I bet!
Sun waking, sun breaking,
In the puddles, children quaking,
Mother's arms have started shaking,
Everyone, she'll net!
Sun applying, sun drying,
In the puddles, children crying,
Mother's breath is now a sighing,
Everyone's upset!
Sun gleaming, sun scheming,
In the puddles, children steaming!
Mother's smile, now is beaming,
Everyone's her pet!

Thank you, Thank You Very Much Valentine!

today i was thinking about all the people that deserve a little love and thanks...because i believe that "Valentine's Day" isn't just for sweathearts, husbands and wives, girlfriends and boyfriends. i have always tried to make it a special day for "special someones" - but then that's what I love to do. it dosen't have to cost a thing - you can email a pretty poem or quote, leave a sticky note in a hidden spot - it not what you spend.
honest
so... here's to
nurses and caregivers
music teachers - all teachers!
cab drivers
day care staff
physcians
Hospice
Cafeteria Workers
coaches
bus drivers
Postal Workers
and Mommas and Pappas too!

Love, Jennifer
