Truth's

I have neglected my blog this month, and I will blame it on children. Enough Said.
 And today I am doing my 2009 Spring Cleaning (yes, I know it's 2010), so I will keep this short...


The following is a list of things that fall under the title...

Truth's I Have Learned:

1. The ratio of jelly to peanut butter should be 1:4, otherwise you will be very sticky.
2. Children really do want you to play with them, not out of boredom, but because they think of you as their friend and confidant.
3. Teenagers grunt,sigh, and roll their eyes just to see if they can make you mad enough to give up and do the dishes yourself. 
4. Day-before-payday meals are the most inventive.
5. 60-second dry time on nail polish is NOT fast enough for 5-year-olds.
6. Unless you are an abusive psycho- no matter how mad you get at the kids, they really do know  you love them.
7. Your children brag about you when you aren't around.
8. It's more important to brag or praise your children to others- sometimes, in front of your child- than to commiserate about child-rearing woes.
9. Letting your child see you worship God, read your Bible and practice your faith is more important than just teaching them the stories.
10. The scream volume of a wounded child is often the opposite of the wounds seriousness.
      A splinter removal = blood-curdling scream; Broke arm = questions about cast colors.
11. A child's questions are worth listening to and answering. I will be doing dishes for a lifetime, He/She  will   only ask this question once.
12. Entertaining the dreams or schemes of a child can change their future.
13. Being an adult does not mean the end of being silly.
14. That spaghetti, white bread and cheese are all bad for me.
15. That having it all isn't the reward - the road to getting there, is.

Until next time! Off to vacuum up year-old dust bunnies- full grown rabbits by now....
