It kills me. Every year I can't wait for school to get out and summer to begin so I can relax a little. Then it finally happens and I find myself even busier than before. My chauffering duties have increased so much this year I'm thinking of registering my license plate number as my new address. Anyway, posting every week has become impossible. I did, however, jot down a few pearls of wisdom for those who need a quick 'mom' fix. Here they are:
1. A penny saved is… not much. These days, if you really want something, start saving nickels and dimes.
2. If all the cool kids are doing it, don’t.
3. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, get it out of the house before it poops on the floor.
4. Good things come to those who work their butts off.
5. If you get knocked down, you can get right back up. If you get knocked up, it ain’t so easy.
I wouldn't be a mom if I didn't also remind you to make sure and wear sunscreen this summer. Back in the day, we laid out in the sun all day slathered in baby oil. Now we're all wrinkled and crinkled with freaky brown speckles everywhere. Want that to be you? Plus the whole skin cancer threat is very real and very scary.
And, of course, don't forget the sage advice given by John F. Kennedy during his inagural speech in 1961:

Fake statistics show that homes are 300% messier and 400% more out of control during the summer months. Give your mom a break and help out every once in a while, K?
Well, back into the chaos. Ciao for now!
