What I've Learned These Past Couple of Weeks

The past couple of weeks I've learned...

.... when you force things to fit, they will break.  People too.

... I should never get so distracted that I forget to put the lid on the blender for my morning -berry/yogurt/ flaxseed/soymilk- smoothie.  It only takes longer to clean up a big red mess.

....when you buy a loaf of bread from the Bakery at Freddy's that they will slice it for you!

.... for every 100 things I do get done, 50 don't.

.... the reason I've been going through hairspray like crazy is because my 2yod has been using it on her barbie doll.

.... there is nothing like a good meal with comrads.

..... that I so enjoying holding hands with my hubby during church and getting preached at :)

.... my children are quite capable to pick something off of my "to do" lists and do it themselves.  (my newest wicked tactic!)

.... to quit making my "to do" lists longer than my "can" do!

.... that there is only one person who can PEE all over my husband's desk and important papers, but still get kisses and cuddles

.... that I shouldn't change Mary's diaper on Paul's desk (woopsie!)

.... the thing below the drain at the bottom of a shower is called a Pee Trap (learned that one in Home League!)

.... what Suet is and how to make pudding from it.

.... that as soon as you sweep all the leaves off your back porch, more are sure to come

... that being joyful sure feels a lot better than not


And now I'll leave you with a quote about complaining that I recently overheard one of our Advisory Board members say to another...   

"When you complain... half the people are glad it happened to you and the other half don't care."

That one just makes me laugh, because it's probably true!

Thank you, Lord, for teaching me!  I know it takes a lot of effort on your part.
