Mother's Day Is Coming

Today is Friday and Mother's Day is coming. Thought I'd share a few pearls of wisdom I've learned from my mom down through the years (I actually got the idea from a creative nephew). So here are 13 gems to remember:

• You always go to the bathroom when stopping at a gas station on a trip, whether you need to or not.
• It's OK to ask for half a cup of coffee and some hot water if you don't like strong coffee.
• It's easier to do something right the first time.
• And... if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well.
• It's OK to use a towel to play Superman in the yard.
• Family is important, but kids don't run the household.
• 'T'aint what you want that makes you fat, it's what you get.
• A diacondra lawn looks best if mowed twice a week.
• Never buy a Rambler with a push-button transmission.
• If you can put your hands in the dish water, it's not hot enough.
• School is more important than a part-time job.
• Appreciate the people your kids marry.

...and (cue the drum roll here)...

• The sword from a King Arthur set has more uses than you might think.

Now you know why I'm so smart. :) More Mother's Day thoughts later...
