Proof That It Is God Who Gives Us Our Talents

If you saw the way I pack a dishwasher you would understand that my daughter could not possibly be studying to be an engineer.

  1. Thank you for visiting my blog. I am happy to follow yours as well.

    As a mother of a 6 year old daughter that spent last weekend in ICU, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO! My daughter was treated as a princess by those nurses, you have a fantastic job and you change people's entire lives by making those hospital visits pleasant.

  2. lol that's too funny. I admire anyone that works in ICU and especially someone that can raise 8 children. I only raised 4 and that was enough for me. Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving kind words I hope I can give you some good tips you may use when you remodel. I'm a new follower. Peggy

  3. lol. that is the complete opposite at our house growing up. My mom would have a fit how we would fill the dishwasher "these are never going to get clean!?!" and then she'd unload the whole thing ...I still pack it the same way and my dishes always come out fine...if there is food spot welded on the cups or plates after they come out at least its clean food that's spot welded on...

  4. So true! Our talents and our challenges. My daughter is incredibly shy, not something either my husband or I are, but it's been a great lesson to us on how to work with it and it has given us so much more patience when we look at our other children and find the ways that they are unique.

  8. Hey ... I get it! I believe a dishwasher should do its job and wash the dishes so I don't have to pre-rinse! I love what you wrote about your second daughter ... great story! Followed you :)

  9. Well my daughter can cook delicious meals and makes her cookies from scratch. Let's just say that she didn't learn that skill from me. ~ Abby

  10. Hi, technically I am taking a break from blogging today. But i just wanted to stop by and see what you were up to and tell you I have signed on to follow you. Is your daughter really studying to be an engineer?? Or are you kidding?

  11. Hello,
    I would just be glad to have a dishwasher again. Was so smitten with space in new apt, didn't even notice there wasn't a dishwasher. lol I was already following on GFC and now following on Linky and Networked; hope you'll return the favor.
    I'm number 7 of eight kids, and my mom was an awesome woman and mother. She had 5 dil who always bragged how she didn't interfere with their marriages but was always there when they needed advice. I aspire to follow her example with my 2 sons! Today is the 12th year of her passing and she is sorely missed. Thanks for bringing back many lovely memories of my childhood my sharing the life of you and your family. : )

    Have a beautiful day!

  19. Hilarious! Other people find the way I load the dishwasher to be odd- but it all makes sense to me! :) I get it loaded- and that is all that matters!

  22. Oh I ruined a lot of stuff that changed shape after the wash. I evidently had to learn and understand the art of loding a dishwasher...

  28. That's funny! I do use the dishwasher maybe weekly. My son has used it maybe twice and he does want to be an engineer. :) He's very creative and good with his hands.
    Have a great weekend!

  43. Ha! Love this! That gives me hope for my children then because my dishwasher skills are pathetic. :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. LOL!! My husband hates the way I load the dishwasher. He is Mister efficient in getting everything in just right.

    I presume by your title and post that your daughter is studying to be an engineer. I'm sure, being a former ICU nurse, that you have a lot of math-science genes your daughter inherited!

  45. Oh, hilarious...my hubs comes behind me and fixes things.

    ReplyDelete
  46. LOL!! I am very good at getting ALL the dishes in the dishwasher. And, if they're not all quite clean, well, too bad lol!
