EVEN A HOUSEWIFE NEEDS A R&R

          EVEN A HOUSEWIFE NEEDS R&R


If you want to be able to take care of others you have to take care of yourself first. That's why it's important to step aside from your lovely and adorable children, and regroup. Even a day away will do miracles. They will miss you, and you them. But here is the trick. If you go away - you are not allowed to think or talk about your treasures. Try to plan to do something you have never done before or haven't done in a long time. Even a nice walk, listening to music from your go-go days can put you in a more flamboyant mood. I like to buy myself something very impractical. Usually it's a big chunky ring, earrings, or some crazy colored lipstick. Forever 21 store is a fantastic source for silly and inexpensive finds.
Have reliable babysitting? Going away with your spouse is the best way to reconnect, and remind each other why you are together in the first place!
What do they say on the plane? If the oxygen masks drop down put one on yourself first before assisting others!

SOMETHING FUNNY. Gosh... Did my grandma do that!?

GRANDMA'S BIRTH CONTROL PILLS
A DR THAT HAD BEEN SEEING AN 80 - YEAR OLD LADY FOR MOST OF HER LIFE FINALLY RETIRED.

AT HER NEXT APPOINTMENT THE NEW DOCTOR TOLD HER TO BRING A LIST OF ALL MEDICINES
THAT HAD BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR HER.

AS THE YOUNG DOCTOR WAS LOOKING THROUGH THESE, HIS EYES GREW WIDE AS HE REALISED
SHE HAD A PRESCRIPTION FOR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS.

"MRS SMITH, DO YOU REALISE THESE ARE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS?

"YES, THEY HELP ME SLEEP AT NIGHT."

"MRS SMITH, I ASSURE YOU THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THESE THAT COULD POSSIBLY HELP
YOU SLEEP!"

SHE REACHED OUT AND PATTED THE YOUNG DOCTOR's KNEE.

"YES DEAR, I KNOW THAT. BUT EVERY MORNING I GRIND UP ONE AND MIX IT IN A GLASS OF ORANGE
JUICE THAT MY 16 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER DRINKS.  AND BELIEVE ME, IT HELPS ME SLEEP AT
NIGHT.



                                                       YOU GOTTA LOVE GRANDMAS!

                  NO GRILL - NO PROBLEM!!

This fantastic cheeseburger was cooked without a grill. 
Sprinkle angus beef patties with Porterhouse Roast seasoning, Montreal seasoning, Lawry's or similar. Place them on a hot skillet and fry, turning them over once the patties start sweating. Once there almost done, place slices of cheese on the patties and briefly cover. Do not overcook! Place them on a paper towel for a few seconds to soak up fat. Broil buns for less then a minute. Spread Thousand Islands dressing on them. Arrange all the goodies, being sure to use red onions, if using any, and don't forget the pickles! ENJOY!
