I wish I was the kind of perfect person where I've never said something to someone to offend them.Never told someone that I hated them.Never hurt their feelings where I made them cry.Never argued with them or called them names and was rude to them.
How I wish I didn't have so many mnay flaws and was so darn perfect.
My little boy came into the kitchen this evening while I was fixing supper. And he handed me a piece of paper he'd been writing on. So, after wiping my hands on my apron, I read it, and this is what it said:
For mowing the grass, $5. For making my own bed this week, $1. For going to the store $.50. For playing with baby brother while you went shopping, $.25. For taking out the trash, $1. For getting a good report card, $5. And for raking the yard, $2.
Well, I looked at him standing there expectantly, and a thousand memories flashed through my mind. So, I picked up the paper, and turning it over, this is what I wrote:
For the nine months I carried you, growing inside me, No Charge. For the nights I sat up with you, doctored you, prayed for you, No charge. For the time and the tears, and the cost through the years, No Charge. For the nights filled with dread, and the worries ahead, No Charge. For advice and the knowledge, and the cost of your college, No Charge. For the toys, food and clothes, and for wiping your nose, No Charge. Son, when you add it all up, the full cost of my love is No Charge.
Well, when he finished reading, he had great big tears in his eyes. And he looked up at me and he said, "Mama, I sure do love you." Then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote, PAID IN FULL.
I know some farmers who grow wheat and corn and make grain to feed their livestock.I believe yes our country does.
I don't recall all the variety of some of fruits but I have seen them in the stores here.
When I lived in California I did learn that one of the grocery stores would get their Oranges from Australia when California was full of orange groves.The store owner told me that the California orange growers couldn't meet their demands.The whole thing made no sense to me.
I can't recall the correct term but if my memory serves me correctly I've heard where someones sleep patterns can be observed and recorded.It his similar to what you're asking?
