A List

1. Don't let Z push buttons in your car. It may take awhile to figure out how to get your car back to "normal."

2. Don't ever sell stuff back to Once Upon A Child (even if it still has their tags on it). They will gyp you out of lots of money.

3. Laugh at yourself when you pause in mid-sentence during the re-telling of a story and wonder what in the world you are talking about. Or when you walk into the kitchen and spend a full 3 minutes trying to figure out why you were going there in the first place....

4. Bring your camera with you even if you think you won't need it. Chances are the best photo op will come when you don't have the camera!!

5. Eat chocolate every day. It's good for you.

6. Don't take it personally when people tell you that you look like you are about to explode or pop or other not so nice terms. It's for a good reason!

7. Enjoy when your 5 year old wants to go through a kissing/hugging/goodbye routine everyday at school. Before long, he'll be too embarassed to do it and you'll miss it!

8. When your 3 1/2 year old tells you that he needs to go down for a nap right now without even eating lunch because his teacher said he's grumpy, know that there is a story behind it! Take everything he says with a grain of salt:)

9. Soak up the moments when your husband tells you that you are beautiful especially when you don't feel like you are..

10. Take everything one day at a time and then you won't feel so overwhelmed!
