Things My Mom Was Right About:

1. A bedroom isn't clean if the bed isn't made. Also, it feels much better to get into a made bed than a bed with tangled sheets.
2. Boys are silly.  It really doesn't matter who took me to prom or who my first date was. Real men are not silly.  And age has nothing to do with it. 
3. I don't see people from high school anymore.  My mom always said that after graduation, only the best friends would stay in contact. 5 and half years later, she is so right. 
4. Those cupcakes, brownies, fast food, pop-corn, and soda did go straight to my hips. (and my butt, and my waist, and my thighs.) However, she also said...
5. I wasn't fat. And I wasn't. Looking back, I looked pretty great, and yet if you had asked me, I would have said I needed to lose some weight. 
6. Hair grows back.
7. Everyone else is spending way too much time thinking about themselves to think about me. 
8. No one is going to notice that zit. (Except Dad, who would tease me about it)
9. Make sure the man you marry listens to you. When she said this, I think she was talking about how when my mom tells my dad how to do something or where something is and then he doesn't listen to her, but eventually reaches the same conclusion on his own. However, having a husband who will listen to my fears, my dreams, and my over-exaggerated stories is something that makes him a great partner. 
10. Being a mom is the best job in the world.
