The Rules

Today's blog prompt is:

Share some of the "rules" (serious or funny) that you live by.

1. Make sure the animals are put up before leaving the house.
2. Unplug the potpourri burner and space heaters, too.
3. You sleep better if the dishes are washed before retiring.
4. Pay the bills as soon as they come in. Again, you sleep better. LOL.
   
5. You can never say "I love you" too often, nor does the frequent saying of the words cheapen its meaning.
6. When knitting or pursuing any hobby, monogamy is the rule; that is, only work on one project at a time. Unfinished projects can take over and leave you feeling overwhelmed rather quickly.
7. Children belong at home, not out running the streets or constantly staying with friends.
8. Rules are our friends. Yes, they're made to be broken sometimes, but general adherance makes my life much simpler.
