Keep every promise you make and only make promises you can keep. (Anthony Hitt)
Awnty Ellen fwum 15 and meowin’ tagged us fur da Quote Challenge da udder day. Da rules awe to name and link back to yous challenger. Post at least 3 of yous favowite quotes, and pass da challenge along. So here we go.
Our openin’ quote is one dat be very close to mommy’s heart, as all of our quotes will be. Mommy sez a purromise has a much stwonger connotation than words like, okay, I will, sure, no purroblem. A purromise is yous word and bond. Afur mommy’s accident when she was healffy and always reliable, she made lots of purromises. And she kept every one. Today mommy makes far less purromises, but she still keeps each and every one. Ifin mommy sez she purromises you sumfin’, then yous can count on her to do it. We fink it’s weally purrtant dat yous mouff not be writin’ checks yous body can’t cash. Dat by da way is not on our quote list, but it is a quote made famous by Bo Diddly. And one dat mommy uses when she dusn’t make purromises. She sez hers mind is still sharp as a tack but hers body keeps her fwum duin’ a lot of fings these days.
Our next quote is weally relevant today when so many awe twyin’ to erase periods and events of history. Sed by George Santayana, “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemmed to repeat it.” Good, bad or ugly da past exists and we can’t change it. But we shuld learn fwum it. Yous own past has made you da purrson you awe today. Events have led you to where you awe today. Even tho’ we be poor and mommys body be a mess, she sez she wuldn’t change a fing. Everyday of her life has been a learning adventure dat has led her to da here and now. She sez she be gwatefull dat it’s hers short term memory dat be da purroblem cuz she has da memories of da lessons of her past to guide her.
Our third and final quote was a toss up. We saved da bestest fur last. So many peeps hav quoted this one in a variety of different ways dat no two sites cwedit da same purrson over and over. So weez’ll just say dat mommy’s gwandpa (may he rest in peace) taught her to “Live each day to da fullest, cuz you were never promised a tomorrow.” We fink it’s purretty self explanatory. And Jesus said in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the Angels of Heaven, but My Father only.” We kuld go on and on and on, but you kinda get a sense of who we awe in da qotes weez chose to use. Fanks fur da challenge awnty Ellen.
Now, weez posed to pass this on. Weez not sure who all has been challenged, so weez just gunna choose a few and ifin yous wuld like to take up da challenge yous selff, purrlease feel furee. Just follow da rules outlined above. Weez challenge: Katie Isabella, Timmy Tomcat, and Bad Cat Chris.
Meowllo and a gweat Monday to you all. Yeah we know, what’s so good ‘bout Monday wight? Dat’s zactly what mommy sed when woke her up early. But as she watched what followed, she knew it was gunna be a good day. We usually sleep till mommy wakes up and tells us she wants to get outta bed. But as most of ya’ know, da wevver be changin’ and da days awe getting’ shorter and shorter, and it’s causin’ us to be a little more feisty. So today mommy woke up to sis Lexi and me playin’ chase da fevver. Wantin’ mommy to join in da fun, me fwu da fevver on da bed and ran up da steps after it wiff sis Lexi in tow.
Pull up a chair and let me tell ya’ a stowry.
Mommy didn’t see or feel da fevver, but she furst opened hers eyes when me accidentally stomped on hers bladder. Now kitties lissen up. Fur those of you wunnerin’ just how it is you can get yous human to get up and feed you; just step on da bladder. Meez gotta tell ya’, not many peeps can sleep fwu dat. Mommy sure can’t. After me stomped all over mommy’s bladder it was sis Lexi’s turn while she was retwievin’ da fevver toy. Fevver in mouff sis Lexi took off back down da steps and hauled to da livin’ room wiff me on hers paws. Mommy giggled and cwied. Don’t worry, they were da happy tears. But it was all bwought to a halt when mommy hollered fur us to get her to da pawdee box room. Sissy and me dwopped da fevver and returned to mommys side to help hers up. We returned to play while mommy made our bwekky. She took extwa long to make it cuz she kept peekin’ wound da corner watchin’ sissy and me. By da time mommy realized she shuld be takin’ fotos we were runnin’ outta steam and our hungwy bellies were takin’ over. When mommy finally got da camerwa we were boff sittin’ down lookin’ at her wiff our “where’s da bwekky” eyes.
Mommy was actually talkin’ to one of our furiends/awnties da udder day ‘bout takin’ fotos furst fing in da meownin’. Mommy was sayin’ she can’t ever member to take a camerwa to bed wiff her, but dat it wuldn’t weally matter cuz she can’t move when she wakes up anyways. Then she sed sumfin’ like who takes a camewa to bed anyways. And our furiend/awnty sed, “Well I do, but it’s because I take my phone with me.” Well dat makes sense but weez not have one of those smawrty pants, foto takin’, web surfin’ fones. Mommy’s been lookin’ at ‘em, but OMC afur yous even stawrt talkin’ ‘bout callin’ plans yous gotta buy da fone. And those smawrty pants fones can cost more than a mortgage or car payment. And we can’t affurd eever of those so it’s not very likely dat weez’ll be gettinn’ one of those smawrter than you fones any time soon. MOL So there’s no pawsumly blurry fotos of this meownin’s activities, but paws cwossed, sumday weez’ll get all smawrted up too.
Are you all smawrted up? Duz yous peep wake up snappin’ fotos? What’s yous sure fired way to get yous human outta bed fur bwekky?
