1. Sometimes you have to just pick your battles. If a child wants to write with a marker instead of a pencil, just let him. He's doing the work he's supposed to so why does it matter what he writes with. Plus he is happy and not whining and complaining so it's a win-win.
2. If you get an ulcer on the back of your tongue you will hit it every single time you swallow. If food has even 1% of acid in it, it will find its way to that ulcer. FYI... This is extremely painful.
3. Some people make horrible liars. If you don't have something ready for me when I call, that's fine. Just don't lie to me. And if you're going to lie don't stutter and try to figure out what you're going to say as you say it. ...because it's clear that you're not telling the truth :)
4. If a child consistently acts up and gets in trouble then there may be something else wrong. Dig deeper. Don't just label him a bad child and give up on him. Find out the cause of his misbehavior.
5. If you get to work at 6:30 and don't eat until 2:30, I can pretty much guarantee you're going to have a headache. Plan ahead and bring little snacks you can eat during break times.
6. A Krispy Kreme doughnut can make almost anyone smile. ...especially that student who's been in a really bad mood all day :)
7. Renting a movie from Redbox is a great idea. Just don't forget to return it.
8. The smell of bacon is heavenly. The smell of burnt bacon...not so much.
9. It's probably not the best idea to leave your cell phone in your pocket when you go to use the restroom. Phones really don't like going swimming. But drying it out in a bag of rice can sometimes fix the problem.
10. Watching a scary movie or TV show right before bed is not the best idea. ...especially if you're home alone and you're already a little scared at night time anyway.
11. Wearing cute little dressy flats is great. But when it's raining, those cute little flats become a sponge and your feet get soaked. Invest in a pair of rain boots.
12. Driving in the rain is not very fun. ...especially when there are idiots on the road that seem to have no clue how to drive.
13. Alabama shuts down at the mention of snow. Although I can't be too mad about this one since occasionally we get a day out of school as a result of this extreme fear of wintry weather :)
14. Don't plan for a snow day. If you do, then most likely you won't have one.
15. Even when you think you have nothing to say, a simple I love you and I'm praying for you can go a long way.
