Limerick Contest
January 22, 2008
Are you guys girls ready for a contest? I am. Here is what you need to do… Sometime before Thursday, the 24th at noon PST you need to email me a Limerick about your husband. Oh, for the 3 men that read this blog you can do a Limerick about your wife. I want you to email me the Limerick - do not put it in the comments! On Thursday afternoon I will make a new post with the Limericks and a poll so you guys girls can pick the one you like best. The winner will receive a red gift card to someplace special. So, to recap…
1. Write a Limerick about your spouse. (G-Rated)
2. Email it to me. If you have a blog, give me the link so I can link to you.
3. Wait until the new post on Thursday.
4. Vote for the Limerick you like best.
5. Pray it is yours so you can get the gift card and make your husband happy.
That’s it. No, wait! Don’t forget to tell all your friends! If you post about this on your blog, with a link back to this post, and you are the winner - you will get two gift cards instead of one!
Here is the Link: http://www.ohmydad.com/2008/01/22/limerick-contest/

I’ve been playing with floorplans a lot lately. My husband is retiring from the military in a year and a half and we are hoping to move back to our house and property in Mississippi. We only have six kids, but the upstairs is so divided up that it makes it difficult to get the required number of beds in there. It is also a story and a half so we have sloped ceilings which make bunk bed placement near to impossible.
I like your plan, especially the openness of it. I was wondering why you didn’t build the shoe storage into the wall just inside the door. Of course we are dealing with red dirt, but anyone living out in the country is going to be dealing with some mud.
BTW I don’t have any shoe storage planned. I think I will have to go back and add that after looking at your plan.

Katie requested that the shoe cubbies not be by the door. If they were by the door, all the kids would stop right inside to take off their shoes and create a traffic-jam. :)

A bit late, but I’ll enter just for the fun -
My wife’s pitted body, at night,
would give a staunch fellow a fright -
where once there were dimples
there now reside pimples,
where once was a playground, a site.
I told my wife not to hurry
when she went for the fish chips and curry,
but after the fall,
and a card from Bengal,
I’ll tell you, I’m starting to worry……
