This is how almost every weekend ends unless I stand in my kitchen all day. I hate it! Today my dishwasher is not working well and I had a birthday party to take my son to as well. My husband stayed home and said he’d wash the dishes. I said, ” I’m sure they’ll still be there when I come back.” Alas, I win although it doesn’t feel like it. I also came home to my other son in tears with a bump on his head the size of a quail egg. Awesome! This week has been anything, but awesome. At this point I’m not even depressed by it, but wondering what the universe is trying to teach me. The brick has fallen and I’ve been hit. I’m still not getting it. I hope I figure it out before more fabulous things keep happening in my world. Here we go:
This week I learned that:
10. people loving complaining, yet never do anything about fixing the situation they are in. ( Put your big girl panties on and change what you hate. Hard, but possible.)
9. my oldest son (8) wants to come to parent teacher conference. ( He said, “It’s my life and I want to be part of the choices.” Wow!)
8. gossip just doesn’t interest me anymore. ( I think I’ve grown up too.)
7. sometimes it takes a complete stranger to remind of a fact that you’ve always known. ( This has to be the only time that unsolicited parenting advice made my day. The reason: because it was given with love not judgement.)
6. my boys are growing up into such polite young men. ( One held the door for my mom while the other took her purse, I didn’t ask them to do either. Although I did tell mom to make sure she had her wallet-LOL!)
5. there is an awful lot of salt on a NYC pretzel. ( I know this because my son opened the bag the wrong way and a ton of salt fell over me and the man sitting across from us. Thank God he had a sense of humor!)
4. ordering a slice of pizza is much more complicated than I remember. ( I ordered 2 slices, paid $8 almost freaked out, then opened the box and realized they were bigger than my head! I just wanted a regular slice on a paperplate in a bag. Not a small pie shaped like a slice in a box!)
3. when I’m angry, I’ve very angry. ( Yes, green eyes, busting out of my clothes and all!)
2. I love the private jokes I have with my friends. I have had many laughs over Facebook posts. ( If I told you they wouldn’t be private anymore!)
1. my sister and I can laugh at the cruelest things, but with the utmost love. ( Bizarre, but true)
