Lessons Learned

Five Things I Learned This Week
1.       Don’t just assume that check you wrote for a coworker’s church fundraiser two months ago cleared your checking account before you close it and open a new checking account.  Guess what…that $8 pumpkin roll that tasted like crap?  Now it is an $8 pumpkin roll PLUS $25 in bank fees that tasted like crap.  Hopefully you have some left now that it is all you can afford to eat the rest of the week.
2.       Don’t leave a brand new jug of laundry detergent in the back of the car, but if you do, maybe you should go check things out when your car suddenly starts smelling like a laundrymat.  Apparently those things explode when they get cold.
3.       Teach your dog not to jump on people’s laps, then you wouldn’t feel responsible for the fact that your boss is walking around with a bloody lip.
4.       No matter how stupid you think they look, some dogs just have to wear a sweater in the winter.
5.       Getting beaned in the back of the head by an ice ball thrown by a five year old with a great pitching arm really hurts.


Five Things Shelby Learned This Week

1.        It’s not a good idea to get out of the tub and stand on the toilet and try to jump back into the tub. 
2.       If you throw an ice ball at mommy’s head, and she picks up an ice ball and asks if you want to know how that felt, don’t say yes. 
3.       No amount of screaming and crying will get Mommy to take you to the McDonald’s Playland at 9:00 at night after she took you shopping for new shoes, a snuggy, a Rapunzel doll, and took you to a movie.
4.       Robitussin is “ees-custing”
5.       Boys are fickle and will break up with you if you won’t play dollhouse with them.
