Thought for the day!

As the morning begins and all our family gets up to face a new day Bill usually has a "Thought for the day" Most of the time it has to do with sports (ya I know shocking!) Jacob is playing Y basketball right now so Bill likes to give thoughts to inspire him, like "Be aggressive" and "Take it to the rack" and "Use your butt as a weapon". When I am having a bad day he will say, "The day is going to pass anyways so make the best out of it". We all get a good laugh or sometimes we roll our eyes (shh don't tell Bill) and the kids will say it to each other as jokes during the day.

Well I wake up with thoughts that I like to share with my family too. I will often change the meaning of a word or mispronounce it. I will get stuck on a word or a phrase, this word or phrase will stay in my mind for days, weeks or months. I use it as often as I can because I am Hilarious! It's okay you can admit it. I am okay with it. My kids have developed this trait or as I refer to it as a Talent! We have a list of words that we all use on a daily basis, to those outside our family they mean something completely different than they do to us. We all have a twisted sense of humor, and all these inside jokes. I never knew having a family would be so fun! They kill me sometimes, we can be somewhere and something random will come out of one of their mouths and we are all cracking up. People look at us like we are Ferns. (that is one of our words, means geek, nerd or dork). Not everyone can appreciate this kind of humor, I have to give credit to my sister Anna and her husband Darren for some of these words, I love when we talk and and she gets all our strange lingo!
The word for today is Keester! The first time I said it they all gave me a confused look, and then I could see the light go on in their eyes, and everyone was using it(even Bill). I was So Proud.
We will be going on a trip soon, a very LONG car ride. I am sure we will fight, get annoyed with one another, and crack up laughing as we add some new words our list. I love my family! I don't know how I got so lucky!

"Get your no-good, dirty, rotten Keester off of my property before I pump your guts full of lead!!!" P.S. I totally use "cram it" ever since the last time I was up there!
