- That singing at the top of your lungs in your own kitchen making dinner is fun! and good for the food, too, I think....
- That Mom is awesome
- To appreciate time with my family when I have it
- To hug my little brothers and sisters when I see them, because I might not see them again today
- That Mom made some things look really easy... and they're not
- That responsibility is something that applies to every aspect of life. Every aspect.
- That if I don't clean that hard-to-reach spot in the bathroom... no one else will.
- To pay more attention to things like dates on the calendar, because on some of those days you need to pay bills, and if you don't bad things will happen
- That I didn't have as many kitchen utensils as I thought I did.
- That eating is expensive
- That everything to do with surviving is expensive
- That some things aren't as important as they used to be
- That other things are more important
- That I can get a LOT of things done when I'm not being interrupted by little children :)
- That I miss those little children a LOT
- That growing up is bittersweet
- That cleaning my own house is very rewarding
- That weeding my own garden is more fun than weeding Mom's
- That I have to shovel the snow out of my own driveway
- That making a home is wonderful
