Things we tell our kids but don't do ourselves.

1. Share.....I've waited until the kids have gone to bed and then devoured the yummy sweets because I didn't want to share.

2. Don't eat junk food.....I had a small adiction to Starbucks and love, love, love oatmeal cream pies with an unhealthy and unnatural love

3. Make your bed and clean your room.....I am sure the irony isn't wasted on my kids; there is no end to the secrets and portals into other dimentions that my closet holds.

4. JUST DO IT!!! Homework, picking up toys, etc.... but not me baby, I like to take my time - I've put off difficult conversations, decisions, cleaning, cooking, working, reading, doing FOR YEARS in some cases.

5. If you WHINE I go deaf.......looking back on the past 2 conversations I've had with my LORD and the people in my life it wasn't all joy, praise and thanksgiving

6. I don't care if you want (the crust cut off your toast, the bigger slice of cake, to watch Madagascar 2 for the 44th time today, skype your friends on the internet, go outside to dance naked in the rain, etc it's not going to happen)....... but in reality I do what I want when I want even if it's not the smartest decision - just like everyother adult on the planet. No wonder kids hate childhood.
