It is better to laugh than get angry. Here is a situation than happen when my son was young.

My son was 7 years old ( he has ADHD) and his room was a disaster. I told him to clean his room or I was going to get rid of everything. I walked him to his room and said " I want to be able to walk from this door to your bed, so get this room cleaned up or I am going to throw everything in the trash." So after about 45 minutes he came into the living room and said okay momma it is done. I went to see and could not help but laugh, he had pushed everything to the sides and had made me a path from the door to his bed. He took my word literally. I would walk from the door to his bed. So then I learned to be more exact, I went in his room with him then and told him where to put everything.

I agree! Sometimes they wreck your nerves so bad that there's nothing you can do but laugh!

Oh YEAH! If I didn't have humor, I wouldn't be a sane woman anymore.
I might not be sane because I am a mother. LOL!
Maybe I just need to go to bed. But my adrenalin is running high!

Tweetdeck excited me. I'm a first time user, and I am so hooked!!!:)

As a new mom, I have found that it is so much easier to laugh than stress over the small things. I also find it to be a great stress reliever after a tough day!

When we first moved in our house, we had ants. . .lots and lots of sugar ants. My children were 18 months and a newborn. Husband working all the time. No family or friends for 800 miles. My son and I sang "The ants go marching one by one hurrah hurrah. . ." You get the idea.

Insane? No way -- that song saved me! I got through the days until Terminex could come and be my knight in shining armor!

What's life without laughter and love?
