Things I've Learned Thursday
I have been missing all of you. Life has been way busier than I'd like but hoping to see it slow down within the next two months. A big surprise is on the horizon....but in the meantime, here are the things I've learned...
1) When Mama said there'd be days like this, she wasn't kidding.
2) Sugar is a hallucinogenic to ants. When I open up the sugar canister, the ants are all sprawled out, with dream clouds circling over their heads. The moment I shake it, they wake up and look as if they are saying, "Hey! Who turned on the lights?"
3) Even perfectly good flowers have to be thrown away at an unmentioned store because they are considered less than perfect. (I'm willing to dumpster dive just to take home a few bouquets.)
4) Sweetened condensed milk on a peanut butter sandwich is messy but delicious.
5) I will never learn to spell the word, h'or deurvs. (See!?!?!)
6) There's no such thing as making time. It's all about making time.
7) Flunking the written Oregon DMV test is more humiliating than forgetting my wallet with a cart full of groceries at the check out.
8) One more month until something wonderful happens. I'll give you a hint...my twin sister is coming out!
9) I've done really good not complaining about the rain in Oregon but I'm really anticipating the sunshine and warm summer days.
10) I'm home!

I've been enjoying time with my son, but he leaves Saturday morning, so now I'm counting down and dreading the day.
One more month until we visit with my in-laws again... can't wait! (Can't wait for your news either!) =)
Hugs!!
I would have flunked my Tennessee driver's test if I'd had to parallel park, but they didn't make me do it!
I learned that hives can last more than 24 hours and Benadryl keeps you in a fog for longer than that.
That a stressful night at work means for a stressful following day, in anticipation of another stressful night at work.
That husbands can be highly sympathetic if they think you're dying, but totally uncaring when they discover it's only an allergy.
That some dogs need Frontline more than once a month, and some need it only every three months.
That cat litter won't clean itself when I'm sick.
That 600 thread count sheets get softer after every wash.
That blog comments make me feel much better!
Happy Monday, Simone!
I promise you, not only would most of fail or come close to failing written driving tests, MOST of us would out right fail our road tests. For real!!
There are so many things going on here with all our grown kids. Mostly good, but challenging!
Blessings, andrea
Every time I move to a new state, I worry that I'll flunk my test too!
