Sayings

A lot of people have sayings. Things that their parents used to say or verses to pull you through. Words of wisdom can be a lifeline when you feel like you are drowning. I have some sayings of my own. Everyday I say this to myself, "I'll mop the floor tomorrow."

Why put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after tomorrow....

Why put off till tomorrow what your kids can do today!?

Yesterday my 9 year old was hauling the mop bucket up the stairs and sloshed a big puddle on the pergo floor at the top. He was going for a towel when I grabbed the mop and showed him how to "reverse mop" to clean up the mess. My almost 5 year old daughter watched with intense interest as I soaked up the water and squeezed it back into the bucket. When the puddle was almost gone she blurted out, "Mom, you are a genious!"

If we could only package those sentiments and inject them into our teenagers......
