The following list was an insert in the Mothers' Day card my mom gave me today. I thought it was pretty great. My favorites are numbers 1, 4, 9, and 10.
1) The happiest families are those in which the children are properly spaced...about 10 feet apart.
2) Raising a teenager is like nailing Jell-O to the wall
3) The phrase "working mother" is redundant.
4) Cleaning up with children around is like shoveling during a blizzard.
5) All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.
6) Housework: If the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you?
7) It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to operate the DVD player, yet are unable to understand the vacuum cleaner. (Or the dishwasher, the lawn mower, the washing machine...)
8) Motherhood is a process. Learn to love the process.
9) A boy's best friend is his mother.
10) Motherhood: When doing it all feels like nothing is ever getting done.
11) The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. A mother is something absolutely new.
12) Take care of yourself. If Mommy isn't happy, nobody's happy.
Just a simple post at the end of a wonderful Mothers' Day that I was able to spend with my wonderful family. :)
