THANK YOU advice from my mom Wear tennis shoes, so you can run at the drop of a hat. Smile at people- don't look at the ground. Be nice to people that are mean to you. People can't help but like people that like them. Look people in the eye when they are talking to you. Shower and do your hair and make-up every day. Don't stand around and talk to people at work. Do your work. Be extra nice to the people above you and below you at work. They need friends the most. " Pick up as you go. • Put everything in its final resting place. Always wear lipstick so that you look like a girl. I'm the mommy, that's why. I am not your friend, I am your mother. (But you really are our best friend! lol Bread and butter everyday. And I didn't say Leroy. Stand up straight. Never wear sweat pants. Always own a full length mirror. Watch children around water. Always be a good guest - help clean up and wash dishes. You can always blame it on your mother. I am not running a popularity contest. Drink a Coca-Cola at a cocktail party, no one will know. Don't do a backbend for a dollar at your work Christmas party. Always write thank you notes. White vans tailgate. Don't do all-girls weekends or all-boys weekends. Boys like girls that do stuff. My next job is no job. • Enjoy whatever your husband likes to do so that he doesn't have to run off with the boys to have fun. • Hershel, Chopo, Sorren, Lucy, Jim, Shooter, Thud.....! Remember what Janelle Terry said, she doesn't like cleaning more than anyone else, but she likes to have a clean house. • Study, clean, cook, work, be nice, have fun, laugh, be nice to family, be nice to each other, be nice to our parents, be independent, love Jesus, value family over friends, love to learn, never be bored, always smile, read the bible, love our husbands and be a help-mate. LOVE, BARB & TAM MOTHER'S DAY 2006
