Princess and Sweet Pea - February, 2001
Ask if anyone else wants it before you eat the last donut.
If you don't know if the dishwasher is clean, open it and check.
When the pile of clothes is past the top of the hamper, it's a good sign to do your laundry.
Balancing the trash on the top of the bag means it's time to empty the trash.
Be kind to yourself. People come and go in your life, but you are with yourself 24x7. So give yourself a break.
Hug your dog when you've had a bad day.
Save a little, spend a little.
If it smells funny, don't eat it.
Please and thank you are your friends.
Five minutes spent picking up today saves you hours on the weekends.
Dairy before exercise is not a good idea.
Too much of a good thing is how it loses its specialness. So don't eat all the chocolate at once.
And most of all ....
When it seems like all is wrong with the world, come home. I will always be here for you.

LOVE this post! I chuckled at some of the "lessons", especially the trash and the dishwasher ones. That happens so often at my house, I've come to find it the "norm".
Ugh.
"Be kind to yourself. People come and go in your life, but you are with yourself 24x7. So give yourself a break."
Dang girl. You are SMART. Your girls are lucky to have you.
You need to define the parameters of "smells funny."
I love this. Wonderful words of wisdom. Especially the last one. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :-)
I'm writing a handwritten letter for my BG with a similar message. I plan to give it to her the day I drop her off at college.
I love these too :-) Very wise!
