Remember this. No matter how much you do, no matter how much you give, no matter how much you love, you won’t make everyone happy, and that’s okay. You do the best you can and that’s all you need to do.
1. Don’t forget God. Don’t wait until your teenager comes home with their hair dyed green before you re-connect with your Maker. You’re going to need all the kneel time you can get.
2. Don’t hit your children. They will soon be able to return the favor. Remember it’s okay to say no to the little dickens.
3. Do live within your means. It’s actually alright for children to share a bedroom and a bath. With bunk beds you can really pack them in.
4. Do smile upon your children’s sweet faces. We are the mirror in which they see the world. Will their world frown or smile on them?
5. Don’t have children just because your mother wants grandkids. Unless she is willing to raise them and you get to visit once a week.
6. Don’t forget to write it down. I can’t remember what it was at the moment, but I’m sure it will come to me later.
7. Don’t be afraid to be afraid. No one else knows your stomach is in knots.
8. Do learn to make bread. I mean the bread you eat, not the bread you spend. There is nothing better than the aroma of homemade bread fresh from the oven.
9. Do have a cleaning lady. Someone to come in at least every two weeks to cleanup. I mean come on, how much are we expected to do?
10. Do plant Sterling Roses and Double Delights. They are fragrant and lovely and will bring you joy.
