My Apologies!

It was pointed out by someone who is very observant and takes things so literally that in my last post I promised that I would continue my blog the next day. Well today is May 21st and my last blog was on May 11th - so obviously I broke my promise! My apologies, I won't be so stupid in the future as to promise something that I can't necessarily carry through on.

However, today is day two of being home sick with a nasty cold, full of snot and aches! So why not take advantage of this time to blog a little? There...better late than never.

I just read an article by this guy and it was about what he learned from his mother. At the end of the article, he asked, "What have you learned from your mother?" I thought, hmmm...that's a really good question and I think it's worthwhile to explore my past 37 years with my mom. So here goes:

1. Drink lots of fluid when you're sick.
2. Don't forget to take your vitamin C.
3. Good things come in small packages.
4. It doesn't matter if you're short - actually, it's better to be short because you can date tall and short boys!
5. Always clean from top down.
6. Be a good listener, you never know what you'll learn.
7. Pick your friends wisely...they'll help you get through life.
8. Always get out all ingredients for a recipe before you start to cook/bake.
9. Get a good night's sleep.
10. It doesn't matter what other people think of you.
11. Don't smoke, it's stupid.
12. Wash your hands.
13. When making a decision, write out your pros and cons.
14. Don't hit people.
15. Try stuff before you decide you don't like it.
16. Be kind.
17. It's ok to cry.
18. Don't be quick to judge.
19. Lattes are a good way to drink your milk.
20. Never second guess yourself. Your intuition is always right!

So as I sit home, still sick, I will drink a latte cuz it's not only a good way to drink my milk but it also counts as fluids, I'll take a nap, wash my hands and I won't second guess my decision to stay home today!
