10 Things I Learned Last Week

We were hit with snow and the flu last week. I didn’t leave the house for days so you might be wondering exactly what I could have learned last week. Honestly, a lot. There are lessons to be learned everywhere. One of the funniest things I encountered though is the fact that people get angry with the weatherman. Seriously folks, even I know he’s just a glorified psychic. That’s why they are called predictions. (AKA – forecast) Anyway a favorite feature is back called, “This Week the Husband…”. Poor guy hasn’t given me any reason to post about his crazy antics until recently. Enjoy and “Meow!”

This week I learned that:

10. I just can’t let things go. ( Yes, I admit it. I can forgive, but I just can’t forget. The husband pointed this one out to me. He was right. Well, I’m working on it. Awareness is the first step right?)

9. unfollowing certain peeps on Facebook is probably the best thing I have ever done. ( You know I really do like you, but I just can’t sift through all the politics, guns, naked ladies, etc on a daily basis. I like to pop in from time to time to say hi and not deal with the negative stuff. )

8. my kids will continue to stump me. ( Ask me about sex and I got that one, ask me ” What does, ” You can’t have your cake and eat it too mean?” I had to look it up in order to explain it and sound like a sane person.)

7. just because you put yourself out there doesn’t mean people are going to respond. (Sigh. I will keep trying. I will not be discouraged.)

6. there is a place where all those socks go that gets lost during laundry day. ( Unfortunately, I found a large dusty bunch of them on the side of my washing machine against the wall. They never even made it!)

5. life as I know it will be changing again. ( It just hit me like a lightening bolt. My son will be a middle school student in the Fall. I just got the hang of homeschooling and now everything is going to change! Even if he still homeschools-it’s Middle School!)

4. I was unfriended on Facebook. ( I don’t know exactly when or why, but honestly, it didn’t feel as bad as I thought it would. I did think we were real friends, but I guess not. Oh well.)

3. not everyone saw my fabulous guest post on Illuminous Flux. ( So here it is folks, Spiderman – click on it and let me know what you think!)

2. our dental insurance basically blows. ( Either I have to go to some quack with a Black and Decker drill in a closet or pay a deductible to see my dentist. Guess what I picked?)

1. I’m happy. ( Even if it snows, my kid has the flu and I’m trapped in the house for days. I’m happy. )

I know some of you have missed this part of the post, but he’s been so good lately…….( Then this happened.)

Last week my husband:

3. informed me that he did not put snow tires on my car after I got stuck in the snow fell and finally after 40 minutes of shoveling, pushing,and drove home shivering wet and cold. ( This actually just happened today, but I thought I’d throw it in here!)

2. watched me carry his laundry hamper to the laundry room and when I realized I was throwing in clothes that were folded I asked. ” Are these clean clothes in here?”

The Husband, ” Yes.”

Me, “Didn’t you just see me walk the basket into the laundry room?”

The Husband, “Yeah, I didn’t know what you were doing.”

Me: (Bangs head against the wall.)

1. grabbed a handful of dry cat food and started to munch on it as the kids tried to stop him.He thought they were soy beans. ( Serves him right for the laundry incident doesn’t it?) Meow!

Have an awesome week and leave me some love!
