Did me some more learning!

I know you look forward to this day of the week because you want to glean off of my ever learning wisdom that I share so faithfully with you all. I know I know, you don't have to thank me! I'm happy to do it. So get out your pens and paper and get ready to soak it all in!

This week I learned that.....

1. .......when a child that usually isn't quiet is quiet, he's doing something he shouldn't be. Like smashing chalk into dust all over our screen porch floor and our table.

2. .....that if you spend 2 hours cleaning your boys room (ages 3 and 6) it will only take them 15 mins. to get it looking like its old self again. *sigh*

3. .....that buying an old house and fixing it up is time consuming and cost money and it's time consuming. Going on 11 years now! LOL. *sigh*

4. ....that knowing you're going to see your best friend in less then a week after not seeing her for over 4 months is a reason to get excited!!

5. ......that even at my age I am still a bit competitive. Oh I've got an example and my daughter as a witness. It goes something like this. We're at Wal-Mart, and I know I've mentioned that they are COMPLETELY redoing the WHOLE store and rearranging EVERYTHING, right? Well I've now come to a place where I can pretty much find what I need pretty quickly. This day was no exception. I had my cart and I was happily scurrying through the aisles like a woman on a mission. So picture it, 6 ft. woman, shopping cart and the look of determination on her face. Wouldn't you stay out of the way? Granted that look of determination really comes in the form of a goofy smile that is always permanently plastered on my face but still I was bookin' it. So I'm seeking out my last item on my list and making good time. I have my target in sight and then it happens, this lady didn't look both ways before pulling out into the "flow" and she stepped right out in front of me and my cart and practically stopped me dead in my tracks. If I had to compare this with driving I'd say I went from 60 to 5 MPH. She was lost! And I couldn't get around her because of oncoming traffic!! *heavy sigh* At last she felt the glare, the breathing down the neck and she pulled off to the side to let me pass. Little did I know that there was an impatient young man coming up behind me WITHOUT a cart and I swiftly cut him off and said "Uh uh. I don't think so! " LOL. I really did. But trust me if you know me this was all done in jest, but it really did happen. I arrived at my final destination unscathed! Phew! Are you still with me? Do you think I'm crazy! LOL. This stuff really happens to me. Granted most of it is self inflicted but still! Hee! Hee!

Well those are my lessons learned for the week.
