Good Monday Moms--
Forget about the Monday blues. Look at the lighter side of life today, like our new contributing Mom blogger, Angela does. She writes her own blog at Asinglemomsjourneytowardsaneducation.blogspot.com and her latest post is just perfect for sharing.

I was reading it and it gave me knots in my stomach--until I got to the punch line of course. Lesson learned from this? Never lose your sense of humor! Afterall, in the face of adversity, it counts for a whole lot!

A Single Mom's Journey Towards An Education: Love Grace
Yesterday, my daughter (20 yrs-old) text me. Her message read, "Joey proposed to me last night." My brain froze. I didn't know what to say. So, I text her back, "Wow!" All I could think about was how they would struggle financially; they're too young; they're babies would run around barefoot with dirty feet; statistically they have an 80% chance for divorce. My heart broke to think about her facing the many burdens and endless responsibilities that come with marriage and child-rearing. (I assume they would have kids.) It just seems so unnecessary to make a life long decision when her life is just beginning. She has so much to do still, so much to see and so much to find.

Then, it occurred to me . . . maybe she refused his proposal or suggested they wait. Ah, there's hope. Quickly, I texted her and asked, "So, what did you say?" She replied, "Happy April Fool's Day!"

And, this is what makes Grace special - she has the sharpest mind and untamed wit!
