I hope this post finds you happy and rested after a wonderful Mother's Day!
I wanted to share some trivia I learned at our Mother's Day Tea
yesterday at our Denver church.....enjoy~
Are we different from men?
A woman uses 20,000 words per day while a man uses about 7,000.
A Russian sociologist by the name of Dr. Karpov claims that
women have approximately
17 meaningful relationships in a lifetime whereas men average 2-3.
A woman spends 4 times as long as a man getting ready to leave the house.
A woman spends 3 times as long as a man worrying.
Statistics say a woman will make three right hand turns to
avoid making a left hand turn.
Women will be mortified at a party if they are seen wearing the same dress, but a man would never say, "Oh no! there are at least 20 other men here in a black tux!"
Women take off their shirts differently.
When is the last time you grabbed at the back of your shirt
and pulled it over your head??
88% of laundry is done by women, totaling 330 loads of laundry
and 5,300 articles of clothing a year.
They say the only reason women haven't been to the moon is that
it hasn't been determined to be dirty enough yet!
Mother's Day is the busiest day of the year for many restaurants.
Retailers report that Mother's Day is the second highest gift-giving holiday
in the US-----second only to Christmas.
Mothers average 7,300 diaper changes by the baby's 2nd. birthday!
It takes her only 2 minutes, 5 seconds to change a diaper...
which adds up to 3 forty-hour work weeks each year!
Most kids:
Mrs. Feodor Vassilyev of Russia gave birth to 69 children
between 1725 and 1765.
She had 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quads!
Our of her 69 children, 67 survived infancy.
Mrs. Mary Jonas (who died in 1899) had 15 sets of twins...
all were boy/girl!
Oldest Mom:
Rosanna Dalla gave birth to a baby boy when she was
63 years old in Italy in 1994.
Middle income families will spend on average of $242,070 to
raise a child to the age of 18.
This does NOT include college and $7000 will be spent
before the child even arrives!
The U.S. Government considers stay-at-home mothers "unemployeed," and therefore
ineligible to accumulate Social Security credits.
Yet stay-at-home mothers work an average 14 hours a day, and they're on call
all night---far longer than most government employees work.
Plus, they are responsible for most management, human resources,
labor relations, transportation, purchasing, logistics, health care and waste
disposal functions for the facilities they run!
The average pre-schooler requires his or her mother's attention every four minutes!
About 210 times a day----and about 50 times as often as they'll call Mom
in a year after they've grown up and moved away!!!
But the scripture says that the woman who loves the Lord....
"Her children will rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
'Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.'"
And here are all the reasons I like Mother's Day:
Hannah Grace
"The Boys: Ethan, Presley, Tarin, Kellen"
Josiah = the dad!
Josiah & Tiffany
Nathan & Courtney
Again....Happy Mother's Day!

A woman cries 5 times more frequently than a man
(although it has been said that she will not cry alone
unless she knows her husband can hear her!)
