So you know when you have that conversation with husband, children, friends, the dog, your co-worker, the fish, or even another person standing in line with you during your lunch hour making small talk and you somehow hope that 6 degrees of bla bla applies here and she or he can tell your husband MIL, adult children, co-worker, etc... what you secretly most wish for to get from them for Christmas???
I have asked my husband to tell our adult children or his mom or the dog, if they want to get me a gift that I really need or want, I want and need some cute new dish towels. The kids do not take me serious they think I am just mom being mom and know they don't have alot of money so I am giving them a break and asking for "stupid" dish towels!! Folks there is nothing stupid about new dish towels...right ladies?? a whole year has past in this order with last Christmas...no dish towels..... Valentines Day.....no dish towels.......Easter.....no dish towels.......my birthday......no dish towels......Mother's Day.....NO DISH TOWELS ....seriously on Mother's Day?!?!? Anniversary.....no dish towels......now Christmas is coming upon us again and when I told everyone again....DISH TOWELS, they looked at me like I had asked for a camel ride in the snow!!!
This week I was surprised more than you could know, my dear, wonderful, sweet,
adopted blog mama......
Beth at Day by Day With Beth Marie
sent me these adorable DISH TOWELS!!!
Thank YOU so very much....LOVE them !!!
I have written about how wonderful Beth is before and how much her HUGS mean the world to us all, the link to that post is below titled "Thanks Beth" click on it and read my shout out to this wonderful lady. Also Beth's sister is having surgery Tuesday she would appreciate prayers for her, they do not live close, Beth is worried for her an understandably so. Please give Beth a prayer for her sister and send her a HUG. OHHH can you believe my cute dish towels?? They say "warm winter hugs" and then the other one has these super cute snowmen on them, but how appropriate towels with HUGS from Beth. Love you Mama Beth and love my towels, how did you know??
Thanks Beth.....! (click this to read post)
I sometimes ask for dish towels and I get crazy looks also. How nice of Beth!
ReplyDeletenot sure what the dish towel thingy is with kids. Yes Beth is wonderful I love her to pieces!!
DeleteI love your new dish towels! Isn't it funny how folks don't think of those things as gifts because they're inexpensive, but it's the little things that matter most. My kids got me an iPhone for my birthday which was very nice of course, but the gift that makes me smile is a Snoopy clock that plays Christmas carols every hour. Mom's are so easy to please! All I want for Christmas is for my babies to be with me (and the new Tim Hawkin's DVD, LOL!). God bless you Janice, and God bless Beth and her sister. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThank you Arlene and God Bless you, Snoopy is a favorite in our house as well so the clock sounds great, yes moms are easy if you just listen to them and don't get to spendy. I am wishing you have all your Christmas wants fullfilled!!
DeleteBless you my sweet friend. I thought of you immediately when I saw the towel. Must have been ESP.
ReplyDeleteHUGS!!!!
It sure must have been Beth or it could be just that mama love you & I now share sense you adopted me heehee.
DeleteWhatever it was I love them & you thank you ^,^ HUGS!!!
When I click I can't get in as it is a private blog. Please invite me. HUGS!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the towels and the post! I have gone the same route and eventually my daughter gave me two wonderful dishtowels. This year for my birthday I asked for more dish towels. Her reply... "We've already done that." I guess two will have to suffice for the rest of my life then! :-) Enjoy your dishtowels, Beth is indeed a beautiful treasure.
ReplyDeletehahha my daughter told me dish towels aren't a gift??? huh what are they then?? I want some, don't want to buy them, would love to have them for a gift hmm. No 2 dish towels will not do for life. Beth is truly an Angel here on Earth you would know about that because I think you are one as well ssshhh !!!
DeleteLove them! what a sweet, kind thing to do. bless her heart.
ReplyDeleteThere is some amazing friends here in our community I am telling you we have a great bunch I love them all & you are one of them for sure, my husband said I should hire you on as a full time therapist!! when I shared our e-mails he was very thankful as well as me for your great advice and insight of the situation and says from just that conversation I am dealing with it 100% better. Thank you lady
