This. If you can't laugh at yourself every now and then...what's the point of it all? Luckily I caught it before it got out. I chuckled and rolled my eyes. I just wrapped up my family's participation in a two day neighborhood yard sale, this was one of the signs that I wrote up to put out on a small kids bookshelf. Yeah, I wrote it up after a long day of selling on Friday for day two on Saturday. Here's how my Friday went: I was up and going super early, got myself ready and then got everything ready for the sale, ran out to tell my sister's story (yeah, the one about her being killed by a drunk driver) to an assembly of juniors and seniors at a local high school, then came back to work the yard sale. When that wrapped up, I remade signs after the rain destroyed them, hence the picture, ( I hate when mother nature gets in the way of plans). Then my mom taxi responsibilities kept me busy all night: 5:30am-8:45pm. Long day. Then yesterday, just an 11 hour day, I worked the sale (I made up a new sign don't worry), ran out to a drum lesson for my son, prepped my leftovers, and loaded up my vehicle to drop off a whole bunch of stuff to sell at a second hand kids shop. Today, after flag football - itemize donations and drop them off then some much needed deep cleaning. I'm sharing this picture here because I thought it's a good example of...sometimes you just have to laugh at the little mistakes. No harm, no foul. The sign didn't make it to the sale. When was the last time you laughed at yourself? Have you ever done a yard sale?

I love this story because it brings back such vivid memories of life as the mom of two vey active boys. Looking back, I can't believe how much i crammed into those days. I only wish that I had kept some of my to - so - lists and calendars from back then -- just to remind myself what my days looked like then. I would recommend to any busy mom or dad to keep a few records of those busy days. You will want to look back at them fondly! Deanna Russo

LOL Deanna Russo, that's hilarious, but you're so right - we have to laugh at ourselves! Also, I just wanted you to know that I think you're a ROCKSTAR for talking to those students about your sister's story. Seriously, for young people to hear from someone like you about the dangers of drinking and driving, this will surely save lives.
