The Sullivan Chicks

Or...everything I learned in life, I learned from my………sisters.

( and a couple of things from my brother..)

Yes, you all know that I have 2"older" sisters and one big brother.... uh, yeah, he’s pretty good too.(no - that's not REALLY him...)

And I actually did learn some pretty valuable lessons from him as well. Like setting a goal, having a plan, then working hard to achieve it in time to actually enjoy the fruits of your labor.


Good lesson. May be too late for me.


..I’m not good at setting goals, I never have a plan…I only work as hard as I have to..BUT..I AM enjoying my life, so I guess 1 outta 3’s not too bad eh?

Back to the sisters. ……..

Take time to put at least a little blush and some eyebrows on every morning – consider it a “public service”

When shopping for anyone, really consider what they love – then if you find it at a garage sale, or a flea market, or at the finest store, buy it. They will appreciate all your forethought – no matter where it came from..

Don’t let the “Big Boys” get you down. Look ‘em straight in the eye and prove to them you are smart, capable and a force to be reckoned with.

See above for doctors, nurses, auto mechanics, horse shoe-ers, vets, traffic policemen and bosses

Be strong and maintain what makes you who you are. Take pride in your appearance, your intelligence and your common sense.

When you feel like crying, climb into bed and watch Lifetime movies all day.

And…… eat chocolate (..uh….that’s mine..)

When you’re happy, sing. And if you can’t sing good, sing LOUD!

When you’re sad, sing LOUDER.

Be consistent. (I’m such a dork – that one’s hard for me..but maybe I’m a consistent dork!!)

There’s always room for family, dogs, cats, horses, and friends – it may be on the couch, on the floor or in the barn, but there’s ALWAYS room.

If you get caught in the rain, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR HAIR – leave it alone until it dries and you can re-style with your fingers.

If you can get it at Costco and it looks, smells and tastes like homemade – just smile and say “Oh, you're sweet! Thank you!” when everyone raves.

Don’t use waterproof mascara. You’ll never get it off. And you’ll look like TammyFaye

Having a baby is no worse than having bad cramps – yeah, and because I believed that, I thought I was dying with my first child because I N.E.V.E.R . had cramps ThAt bad! Thanks a lot...................

(OK, so some of the advice is not so good…..but for the most part, they’ve done pretty well.)



And lastly.............and this could turn out to be the most important......


Don’t get your nails done right before milking the cow.

Love ya, Sissies!
