Oh Dear Wedding Arguments Oh my dear what is there to do? This wedding leaves me in a stew Krissy and Emma fight like mad And yes everyone it is that bad The air gets so heated here Then one or other sheds a tear What is a mama supposed to do When her daughters squabble like my two Oh good grief I’m going quite insane This wedding is going to be a pain Emma told Krissy that she looked fat And what am I supposed to say to that Now she’s sitting on the floor And I doubt if I can take much more Krissy said Emma was too blind to see Now Emma is fighting back naturally Oh my word here they go again Their war of words is a constant pain First one tossed in a word or two Then the other answers and I’m through I don’t want to hear what one said I know it all, I have it in my head The truth is Emma will say I do And that is why Krissy is so blue Oh goodness me this is a calamity I feel as if I was about ninety-three Their argument goes on and on And truthfully it should be done What’s the use of this senseless strife? Please stop and give me a quiet life I wish to rest my weary head No I don’t care what the other has said Oh stop your caterwauling for goodness sake I’ve had all that I’m going to take Don’t speak to me don’t utter a word All of them would be better unheard Don’t squabble and fight just be good And love each other, as sisters should Don’t tell me what she said to you Right now I say the arguments through Emma’s life is her own, she’ll do as she will And Krissy your tongue would be better still Marsha Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

What's that song? "We've only just begun..."? Want me to come over and sit on one of them? |

One time I threatened to be a run-a-way mom. Except everybody wanted to come with me. Then there is this word running around out there it's called ELOPE. Good one Bon-Bon |

Oh am I glad I only have one! My mom used to lock us all out of the house. That only meant we came back in dirtier, not with less wounds. LOL. I'll say a healing mantra for you. |

Oh my, Marsha, I'd just go for a quiet stroll if I were you. I used to do that a lot when the boys lived at home. It helps. Or a quiet drive. Or anything QUIET. Hopefully things will calm down after the wedding. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

LOL! Well, I don't know Emma but I do know Krissy and I wouldn't want to be the one to cross her!! I can just see all of this happening!! What a wild time you all must be having. Too bad it's not being taped. It could replace Monty Python, Mr. Bean and Benny Hill with no problem!! Hang in there, mushy. Remember, you're not losing a daughter, you're.....no! You ARE losing a daughter!!! Rejoice!!! Sorry I missed you. Try again??? |

Time for a bath, I think - a looong bath lasting perhaps twenty four hours. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

To each of you I say thank you muchly, Saturday approaches with alarming haste and all that should be done may be done in time, or at least I hope so. Keth and I were playing, as is our habit when we chat together and this is the result, I’m sure it will give you a smile or two, it does me. I’ve placed my poem and Keth’s in my bedroom where the bride to be will be on Saturday morning. So when she has a few quiet moments, as she waits for everyone else to leave for the wedding, I’m hoping she’ll read them. Whose wedding is it anyway? Not mine or Krissy’s I have to say Although we’ve both slaved for hours Over details that aren’t even ours Because if we’d left the job to you There’s no way that you’d sail through The food that your guests will eat Does not appear as a magical feat Whose wedding day is this to be Well I know that it will not be me I wouldn’t walk down that aisle Or if I did I couldn’t smile I’m so tired from all I have done And so I’ll say my little one Have your wedding enjoy this day Because my sweet you will surely pay Whose wedding is it? I hear you ask Pray don’t take me quite to task I sorted that and done all this Because this is your day of bliss But darling one you will learn That when the day has had its turn The glitter and the glam will be gone And you I’m sorry won’t be moving on Whose wedding day is this you say? It’s yours my sweet so enjoy your day Marsha Whose wedding is it? by Kethry Vale I want those shoes of emerald green The prettiest I've ever seen I want them for my special day Whose wedding is it anyway? I want some flowers and lots of curls Not just for me but all the girls And I need food oh you can pay Whose wedding is it anyway? I want a train that goes for miles so when I trip you dare not smile I want the weather bright and gay Whose wedding is it anyway? I want my friends to look at me The prettiest I'll ever be I want all things to be MY way Whose wedding is it anyway? I want the caterers to bring More food than I have ever seen And of course you'll have to pay Whose wedding is it anyway? I want some music, sound surround And some cars to cart me round You do the work while here I lay Whose wedding is it anyway? I want some drinks good wine will do And of course some champagne too Now listen here I want my say Whose wedding is it anyway? I want some peace from all this fuss Can I now say enough, enough! I've done it all, now home I’ll stay After all it's not MY day Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
