If a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy..

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

When my Alex told me she was not going to continue studying, I thought I could handle it.

She's 17, doesn't know what she wants, I mean she knows she wants a job; I thought she'll have 1 year break, think about what she wants to study, and enrol on something.

So she's doing nothing, trying very hard to find a job, her own way, althought not following any of mum's advice and experience.

And not being very successful.

A few hours here and there, casual work, spraying perfum or applying makeup on customers.

And appart from that...sleeping all day.

So when I come home from work at about 4.30, I may find her still in bed.

And she loves to party, actually she's obssessed with partying.

Every single penny she earns is to go out or buy sexy dresses.

And I tell her to be home at 2, and she arrives at 5.

I'm tired of being so worried...and not sleeping properly, as I can't sleep until she's home safe.

Oh dear, I'm just tired, that's it... Oh and I love babies, til they start talking

“Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell’em, ‘certainly I can!’

Have a nice day ahead!

I was in an Art gallery today.
One exhibition was about The Palestian Museum of Natural History and Human Kind.
This is written on a plaque.
I learned this in school, did you?
Still I felt emotional.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Preamble
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in cooperation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, therefore,

The General Assembly,

Proclaims this Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

Two elderly ladies were having breakfast in a restaurant.
Ethel noticed something funny in Mabel's ear and said:
Mabel, you know you have a suppository in your left ear?
Mabel replied:
I have a suppository in my ear?
She pulled it out, looked at it and said:
Ethel, I'm glad you've seen it ... Now I think I know where to find my earing aid.

A few weeks ago my Alex was stopped in the street by a lady. She gave her her card and invited her to attend an open day in a model agency.
Alex is 17 and obviously was all excited, so today I went there with her.
To make sure it was something serious.

And it was.

But as we arrive, me,Alex and Laura (her mate), the receptionist handed her a form to fill in, another form to Laura and a form to ME!!!

I said: Oh no, I'm her mum!
And she said: Oh, take a chance as well, you are a pretty mummy!

We just burst out laughing, but then I was like, Okay!

So, after a long working day, with almost no makeup, my hair frizzy and crazy from all the rain, there was I being photographed amongst all these pretty teenagers.

You should have seen the looks I had from the other mums!

Watch me!

I may be invited to make a commercial for noodle soup,mmmmmmm!
