Words of Wisdom - Revisited

Taking a nap is good.

It is wise to never criticize someone until you have actually been in their shoes. I know that is true, but I still find myself saying "I will never..." or "I will always..." when I observe actions that others take of which I dissaprove. Consequently, it is humbling to note that I now do or don't do several of these things in direct contrast to my previous words of wisdom.

For example:

• I will never marry someone who weighs less than me (have you seen my husband??)
• I will never marry someone younger than me (gulp!)
• I will never be a stay at home mom that takes naps during the day (naps are good)
• I will never let my child cry herself to sleep (just did it a few minutes ago)
• I will never let my child's exersaucer get filthy dirty (it's pretty gross right now)
• I will never let my child be covered in food and snot (you try and keep her clean)
• I will always greet my husband dressed nicely and with hair/makeup looking good (well, I do try and put on a fresh t-shirt that isn't covered in spit before he gets home)
• I will never let my child suck on the grocery cart (I try, I really try)

I could go on, but you get the point.
