“I've buried a lot of my laundry in the back yard.”

“I want my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them.”

“My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usual.”

“Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.”

“Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.”

“Women want men, careers, money, children, friends, luxury, comfort, independence, freedom, respect, love, and a three-dollar pantyhose that won't run.”

“Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the sidewalk before it stops snowing.”
