Clean Up Your Room Day is a day parents eagerly await........... and kids dread!
If you've got kids, it is very possible that their rooms are a vast wasteland, completely filled with "good stuff". "Messy" is too kind of an adjective to describe the conditions. Its impossible to walk through the room. Every dresser and shelf (and under the bed), is packed with everything imaginable. Dust has been piling up as long as your child has been around. Comfy, cozy, and quite livable to the child, its an everyday source of frustration for the "folks".
To mom and dad's delight, and every child's chagrin, Clean Up Your Room Day arrives every May 10th. Get out the shovels. Call in an industrial sized dumpster. Its time for everyone to clean your rooms!
A mother was walking with her four year old daughter one day when the daughter picked up something off the ground and started to put it into her mouth. The mother stopped her and said she shouldn't do that.
"Why," asked the little girl.
"Because it’s dirty. It's been on the ground. You don't know where it's been. It probably has germs."
The little girl looked up at her mom with admiration and asked, "How do you know so much?"
Thinking quickly, the mother said, "All moms know so much. We have to. It's on the Mommy Test. If you don't know it, you don't get to be a mommy."
The little girl pondered this for a few minutes, then her face brightened. "I get it!" she said. "If you don't pass the test, you get to be a daddy!"
"Yup," said the mom.
Mothers only offer advice on two occasions: when you want it and when you don't.
If you can't remember whether or not you called your mother, you didn't.
The motherly advice you ignore will always turn out to be the best advice she ever gave you.
Never criticize your mother's cooking if you expect to get any more of it.
If you think you have any secrets from your mother, remember who has changed your diapers.
Never lie to your mother. And if you do, never think you got away with it.
The older you are, the more you feel like a child around your mother.
Mother's way is best. If you don't believe it, ask her.
When you are broke, ask mom for a loan. She will help you remember what you wasted all your money on.
The more times mother reminds you to take an umbrella, the greater the probability of rain.
Accomplishments are made possible by your mother - failures are your own fault.
Mother can always tell you a better way to do something after you've already done it.
The longer it's been since you cleaned house, the more likely it is that mother will visit.
Never tell your mother you have nothing to do. She can always find something.
There are always two sides to a story - the way it really happened and the way mother remembers it.
Mothers always "know." We don't know how - they just do.
A friend of mine went out to the garage, got his gas leaf blower and “assisted” his daughter’s room clean up.
Point made!
It’s been borrowed, for the next text to The Bride...
My Mom worried about me all my life. I remember visiting home on leave from the Navy at age 29 and going out on Saturday night. When I came in, quiet as a mouse, tip-toeing thru the house, not wanting to wake anybody......
Mom’s voice came from the bedroom, “Freddie? You home?”
I’m sure she’s still watching and worrying about me in heaven.
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.

When I was stationed on my last ship, they had a radio system and all the work center supervisors and above were issued radios. One day my Chief called me and asked where I was.
Now with officers monitoring I didn’t want to advertise that I was using the head, so I said that I was indisposed. Chief said, “Call me on the phone.”
When I called he asked, “What the hell does ‘indisposed’ mean?” I told him that I didn’t want to say I was taking a s*** on the radio.
A couple of days later, the division officer calls for the Chief on the radio and Chief replied, “I’m a little indisposed right now, sir.”
That's what these were invented for (in reality)
ROFLMAO!!!
IN! (Finally. It’s a melt-down day.)
First I have to say that I love these threads, and,
I LOVE the pole dancing picture. It had me in tears!
The Fence Test
You can’t get any more accurate than this!
This is straight forward country thinking.
by Jeff Foxworthy
Which side of the political fence are you on?
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Republican doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
If a Democrat is down-and-out he wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
A Democrat demands that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
If a Democrat decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Republican reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because they’re “offended”.
I worked with a bunch of rednecks on my last boat. Heard over the loudspeaker in Maneuvering (reactor control room) during drills with the brass from DC in attendence:
“Hey Mo, where’s the Carolina speed wrench?”
“Right here in my dickskinners, Chief.”
When Hubby was single and in his 30’s, he went home for Christmas. His brother (also single and in his 30’s) was also there. Mom decided she was going to do laundry. Hubby told her he would do his own laundry and not to bother with his. Hubby, Dad, and brother leave to run some errands. When they get back, Mom has done everyone’s laundry. With three grown men, all about the same size and all owning tidy-whities, she had a predicament; how to not mix up the underwear. She came up with a creative solution. When Hubby went to put his clothes away, he discovered she had written in large, block letters on the waistband of each pair of underwear his childhood nickname in black permanent marker.
Now, it’s a funny story. At the time, Hubby was less than amused.
