Every Cloud has a Silver Lining

  • Cloud--Everyone one else in the house is messily sick and you are the only one who can clean up and cater to them.
    Lining -- The house is quiet.
  • Cloud--You catch their very nasty bug and have only enough energy to lie flat.
    Lining--You can fit into those pants you haven’t been able to wear in a while
  • Cloud--You recover and go back to work.
    Lining--The boys tell you they miss you and can’t wait till you retire and are home when they get home
  • Cloud--It’s one in the morning and you can’t sleep.
    Lining--One of the episodes that you missed of Grey’s Anatomy is on TV
  • Cloud--It’s two in the morning and you are wide awake.
    Lining--HGTV has 2 episodes of House Hunters that you haven’t seen
  • Cloud--It’s four in the morning, you’ve been back in bed for an hour and you are still wide awake.
    Lining--There are only infomercials on TV at this hour and they are so boring they put you to sleep.

Hon I like the way you find the lining in the cloud - more of us need to contemplate life that way! Now me, I'm a waking up in the wee hours with lustful thoughts of a certain man who has fanned the banked coals that have been sitting idle for 5 years or more. Try going back to sleep with those thoughts!! I should be thankful that at 50 those coals are still there and ready to consume whatever fuel he tosses on the coals. The man truly doesn't understand what he is dealing with here!
