Dear James Howell,

When you coined the phrase, "Don't cry over spilled milk," were you referring to a scenario when the  whole gallon spills, splashing the milk all over the cabinets and appliances before covering the entire floor?  And were you thinking of this happening to a mother trying to juggle the needs of seven kids while her eighth is in the hospital?

Just wondering if I'm entitled to a tear or two...

    That is sooo heartbreaking when stuff like that happens. Just one more thing to clean up!
    And milk STINKS!
    Big hug and crying with you....

  4. Oh no! This reminds me of two things:
    Jers mom tells the story of when the boys were little and they had dogie lambs to feed in their backyard. She had just mixed up 5 gallons of powdered milk and his brother thought he would help carry it to the backyard. Oops the 5 gallons spilled everywhere!!!!!
    The other is a quote I read saying whoever said there's no use crying over spilled milk never pumped six ounces then accidentally spilled it.
    Haha.
    Wish I could've helped clean it up!!!!

  7. Well, first of all ...

    James Howell was a MAN, so what does he know of spilt milk? Just like a man to tell you not to 'cry over it', whilst YOU are the one cleaning it up. LOL

    Totally going for the laugh here. ;D Love and hugs from Iowa.
