What I Learned This Week
1. I learned (or maybe was reminded!) that it is very hard to think when its this nice outside - I just want to play outside and go to the beach! I just can't be as creative as some other Mommy Bloggers - not today anyway!
2. I learned that even though no one can understand your two-year-old, he doesn't neccessarily qulify for services (more to come on this frustrating topic!).
3. I'm learning that I am just a character in God's story...and I will share more as I learn more about that role!
4. I learned that giving a baby shots is just mean and that older siblings don't like to watch or hear the screaming that comes with it!
5. I learned that organization never lasts!
6. I learned that disappointment is still rotten even to a mommy. In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week (which I think is actually next week), our PTA arranged for all the teachers to get 15 minute chair massages today. Then about an hour before my scheduled time they announced that they are being postponed until next week - so disappointing!
7. I learned that you can miss your four-year-old so bad it actually makes your heart hurt! Two more "stucks" until Tater returns to the House of Sprout - Mommy and Daddy are counting the hours!
8. I learned that a baby can eat and eat and be a total munch and still not gain enough weight to even be on the growth chart - don't the rolls on G-Baby's legs mean anything?
9. I remembered that even though spring flowers and trees are beautiful, they still make me itch and feel miserable!
10. And the biggest revelation that my husband and I had this weekend was...we have outgrown our house and we can't think about moving anytime soon! Too many kids, too much stuff, and not enough money to fix it!

ReplyDeleteI am with you on #8. Seriously where does the food go?
ReplyDeleteI remember how it feels to outgrow your house. it can be very frustrating. "Overstuffed" shares a similar sentiment:
