I learned A LOT this year. Here are just a couple of things:
1.Trust your gut! When your gut tells you to get off the bench, GO! You never know what you could be missing out on.
2.Keep your expectations in check.
3.Loving your child doesn’t mean catering to their every want. They NEED discipline!!! You aren’t being mean, you’re being the parent. I’ve heard my fair share of “I don’t like you Momma” this year. I learned that I’m ok with that. Landon doesn’t always have to like me. I’m his mom not his friend.
4.Apparently I snore. Who knew?!? Rob says I sound like a moose. Breathe Right’s Snore Spray seems to help.
5.I like lamb chops. I’ll take two next time;)
6.Good food costs more but it really is worth it. I don’t stop at gas stations that sell crappy fuel so why not make an effort to put quality fuel in your body?
7.A couple means two. ALWAYS!
8.Men are simple. This isn’t meant as an insult (seriously). You can’t read too much into anything a man does or doesn’t do, or anything they say or don’t say. If you do your feelings will be hurt A LOT.
9.If you are cooking good food at home, restaurants start losing their appeal.
10.Growing your own herbs is awesome! It saves you a ton of money and makes your food so yummy!
11.There is a proper way (“the granddaddy way”) to roll up a hose.
12.I do like root beer. In fact, I love it! If you haven’t tried Virgil’s you are missing out!
13.You can’t predict what a kid will like.
14.You can cut your finger (and have to get stitches) from a butter knife.
15.Recycling is easy and everyone should do it!!!
16.Life is precious. Try to live and love each day like it is your last.
