Don't let the difficulties of the present moments overshadow the reality of God's promises. God's promises still stand. And God's promises are stronger than our failures.

Best Menopause Question Ever

I did not write this. I couldn't dream this one up. :) But it's about the funniest e-mail I've gotten in a long time. So appropriate at this point in my life. It could probably apply to those of you who are just hormonal right now.




Best Menopause Question Ever
Q: How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to change a light bulb?

Woman's Answer: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the #&%!* light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE FREAKING LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER PICKS UP OR CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT
ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS PLACE! AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHO CHANGES THE TOILET PAPER ROLL !! I'm sorry. What was the question?

Been there, done that, and probably always will. I don't think we every really get finished with menopause. As long as there are MEN around we will always be in MENopause, bless their little hearts!

That's too funny. I can only blame it on that it's time for the kids to go back to school. They need a break from me!

I've got a little something for you on my blog. You can play along or just know you're appreciated.

Good morning Marlene :)

Apply that story to when Aunt Flo comes around and that would be me...yikes!

As far as what would I change... my belly. I had two cesareans. Funny thing... I asked for a body like Marilyn Monroe when I was a skinny mini growing up and he granted me that prayer, only to find out later that my figure would be out of style when I finally got it LOL

hugs,

Menopause may not have hit just yet for me -- but my husband is ready to 'hole up in the garage' if that joke is anywhere near reality.

Enjoy your day, Marlene! I truly enjoy mine when I come to 'visit' you.
