KEEP CALM

Maybe I'll get a tattoo.  

I've never considered it before but I have finally found my motto.  


My only question is - where would I put it? 
 It needs to be somewhere accessible.   When I am breaking up the third argument of the day, tripping on Legos and cleaning up spilled milk,  I will see it and become a woman of poise rather than the fire breathing dragon I feel like.  Actually, I think it might be most effective if I had it stamped across the forehead of my children....  

On second thought maybe I'll just buy the mug.

or there's this version...
...which is less desirable but sometimes more accurate.
Sorry, it's just been one of those days!

I'll be back tomorrow with something more inspirational.

interesting footnote:  I read on Wikipedia that "Keep Calm and Carry On" was a propaganda poster developed by the British government during WWII but then never used. It was filed away somewhere and forgotten about. Interesting story here.

I like the alternate version :-) Is that on the back of the cup?

AND, quite a good idea to stamp that on your kids foreheads! Maybe we should try that... ;-)

Greg,
I think it's 2 different mugs - a HIS and HERS version. In our house we would have to pass them back and forth depending on the moment. Having a new puppy has added a few more "now panic and freak out" moments!
Good to hear from you!
