Cute kid. Now where is that daily affirmation when you need it?

There should be an app that will say each one of those “affirmations” at the push of a button.

I’m positive you kids will keep it down, if you know what’s good for you.

You spend two years teaching them to walk and talk, and sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

Mine was: “Only X number of years till they move out…”

Mine are:My eldest: Slow down Miss TroubleMy Middle: Keep the squeeking downMy Youngest: Minimal destruction

As far as, “You kids are going to drive me crazy!”, it’s too late – it has already occurred.

Mine is: Help me find my glasses.

Mine is, “I ain’t dead yet.” I can use it as long as I live.

Kind of like prayer.

Back when TV stations actually had a beginning and end to their broadcast day, I recall the broadcast day would start with the National Anthem followed by the “Word of the Day” which was a daily affirmation of sorts. They would pad out the rest of the 15-minute slot with some intriguing and bizarre ancient black & white cartoons (which I assume they aired only because the copyright had expired). Then the local Farm Report kicked in and it was all downhill from there.

How about: “When I was your age we didn’t have artificial gravity.”

Sounds like Momma needs to work on her positive statements more.

It’s all about looking toward the future: “When you have kids, I hope they act just like you!”

Every morning huh? So here we go: If I keep sitting here I will fall asleep. So I think I’ll lie back down.

“I’m 100% positive that I’m 0% sure of what to do” -Rob Lowe

“Every day in every way I will be more boring by repetition.”

WTF works for me.

Is there a better affirmation than “DON’T PANIC!”?

How about, “Boy this looks like it’s going to be another duzy”. It’s very versatile and fits almost any situation.

Empowering? You have to empower yourself every day? Doesn’t make sense.

Mine is “Carpe Diem”.

(It almost sounds like Pam has figured out the plan.)

I sometimes wonder about Pam’s ex/Marie’s and Albert’s biological father.

But do you know?
