Thirteen Things my children will learn living in my house

1. Never cut paper with fabric scissors.

2. Never use Mother's fabric scissors. Period.

3. Don't ask where something is if it is not where it is supposed to be (a lecture will be forthcoming).

4. Love your sisters (and now, your brother) because one day Mom & Dad will be dead and they're all you'll have.

5. Absolutely stop and smell the roses (lilacs, petunias, whatever).

6. If you feel bad, you might need to poop.

7. If you're upset, get a snack and take a nap. Then make the decision.

8. Life is not fair. Make the best of it.

9. Always have a book or a project ready to pick up in case of a delay.

10. Moms love kisses and hugs.

11. Moms don't like to be interrupted on the phone or on the computer.

12. Food = love

13. Chocolate can cure most ills.

# 1,2 - Good luck! I have a special pair of kitchen scissors. They come apart and are dishwasher safe. I look for them at least once a week. No one has ever claimed to have any knowledge as to how my "favorite" scissors walked into the livingroom, bathroom, bedroom...

# 6 - You are indeed a sage. I got a good chuckle out of this one. I did this with Marissa when she was younger (now I just ask her about her monthly cycle).

# 8 - Are you perhaps German? It seems that this was my Dad's life motto.

# 13 - Ditto!

Blessings to you all ~

I especially like your number 13! lol I did a simple version of a Thursday Thirteen on my blog about the things I would like my girls and I to learn in the Kitchen this year. :)

Have a wonderful blessed day, Rachelle
