This was sent to me by a co-worker. Mother's Day is still 4 months away but 
I thought it was to good to not share now.

> > "MOTHER'S MAINTENANCE MANUAL"
>>
>>        Many of us take better care of our cars then
>>we do our mothers and yet we only expect our cars
>>to last 5 or 6 years but we expect our mothers to last
>>for a lifetime. Maybe we need a maintenance manual
>>for mothers so we would know how to take care of
>>them at least as well as we do our automobiles.
>>        Here are some items that might be included in
>>such a manual.
>>
>>
>>        Engine: A mother's engine is one of the most
>>dependable kinds you can find. She can reach top
>>speed from a prone position at a single cry from a s
>>leeping child. But regular breaks are needed to keep
>>up that peak performance.
>>        Mothers need a hot bath and a nap every
>>100 miles, a baby-sitter and a night out every 1,000
>>miles, and a live in baby-sitter with a one week
>>vacation every 10,000 miles.
>>
>>        Battery: Mother's batteries should be recharged
>>regularly. Handmade items, notes, unexpected hugs
>>and kisses, and frequent "I love you's" will do very
>>well for a recharge.
>>
>>        Carburetor: When a mother's carburetor floods,
>>it should be treated immediately with Kleenex and a
>>soft shoulder.
>>
>>        Brakes: See that she uses her brakes to slow down
>>often and come to a full stop occasionally. (A squeaking
>>sound indicates a need for a rest.)
>>
>>        Fuel: Most mothers can run indefinitely on coffee, left
>>overs and salads, but an occasional dinner for two at a
>>nice restaurant will really add to her efficiency.
>>
>>        Chassis: Mothers run best when their bodies are
>>properly maintained. Regular exercise should be encouraged
>>and provided for as necessary. A change in hairdo or
>>makeup in spring and fall are also helpful. If you notice the
>>chassis begins to sag, immediately start a program of walking,
>>jogging, swimming, or bike riding. These are most effective
>>when done with fathers.
>>
>>        Tune-ups: Mother needs regular tune-ups. Compliments
>>are both the cheapest and most effective way to keep a
>>mother purring contentedly.
>>
>>        If these instructions are followed consistently, this
>>fantastic creation and gift from God that we call MOTHER
>>should last a lifetime and give good service and constant
>>love to those who need her most.
