What I Have Learned This Week

 

This week I have learned a few things......

*A three year old rarely actually hits the toilet.

*My laundry is only caught up for 30 seconds and it starts all over again.

*Never under ANY circumstance get on the scale during your period...EVER.

*Having a baby fall asleep in your arms is still one of the most beautiful parts of life.

*Drinking my morning coffee in a pretty cup makes it taste better.

*Sometimes something can look like chocolate...and it is NOT!

*Next month is my 20th high school reunion....I sometimes still think I AM 20!

*Working out can turn my day around so quickly.

*I NEED the weekend with Kelly.  When he is not here on a weekend I feel so off and tired.

*I need to eat the grilled artichokes from White Chocolate Grill at least once a week or I go into a deep withdrawal and it is the only thing I think about. Who wants to meet me right now??????

[Tammy Hensley]

Ditto on the 20th reunion thing. Mine is next month too and I'm not going!!! Just want to feel like I've accomplished more with my life!

[Shelley Overholt]

I can relate totally sista!!! lol Laundry, 20 year reunion coming up, feel like I should be 20 also! Sometimes I look around at my house, 3 kids and hubby and think "where did you all come from?!?" lol ~Shelley

You are so funny! I don't think I want to know about the chocolate. Never heard of White Chocolate Grill..but love artichokes. I always stop by but don't usually leave a comment. I love how you share such deep feelings. Makes me happy to know others feel the same way I do. :)

[Amy Jo Axe]

Me! Let's order two this time and not share!

[Jeanne]

You are sooo right....there will be NO sharing!!!

the scale thing- you hit the nail on the head- so very true.

[Lara]

So that's why my day started out so poorly! What was I thinking getting on the scale today?! ;)

Grilled artichokes sound divine...like I might need to try that this weekend.

Absolutely agree with you about the hub-gone-on-the-weekend-dilemma...when Dave is gone I just don't know what to do with my weekend with the girls...he's all FUN for the most part and apparently (this is coming from the "cheap seats") I have trouble in this area.

Hi - great list - I want and need alot of these things too! Isn't that a lovely thing about blogging - that you can capture a list like that, share it, face it, hold it in your hands so to speak? Lou x

[Julie M ~ The Little Red Shop]

What was it that you mistakingly ate?

: )

[Rachel from A Cupcake For Moose]

Words to live by! The chocolate one is a bit disturbing. Another good reason to get yummy artichokes. :)

P.S. Laundry is so lame...and repetitive.

Enjoy your day!
Rachel

[Martha]

I love that you did this...everything is so great...and I'd love to meet you!!

[anne marie]

i love how you started with the potty, and ended up with artichokes

hilarious.....and if i could meet you, I so would.

[Theresa]

I DO!!! A baby falling asleep in my arms is about the only thing that could ever keep me completely still. Completely content. and I'm doing laundry right now and yes right later too! Theresa

[jennifer]

I adore artichokes - any way any how. My grandmother always stuffed them with parmesan cheese and bread crumb egg and olive oil stuffing and roasted them...mmmm. I kept the tradition alive with my sons. Chocolate...been there - it was my dog's eye booger -- ahhhrgrrggg! Jennifer come visit jennsthreegraces

[susan]

so many things that i can relate too! there is a restaurant here that serves artichokes francese and they are fabulous! have a great day! susan

[the wild raspberry]

oyyy....i'm right there with you on the laundry thing. why?! why?!
and i'm betting it gets worse when they become teenagers. brace yourself jeanne!

my sister made some delicious truffles from carob powder recently since she is on her raw diet. you may need the recipe for them. they were great!

[Gina]

I just celebrated my 30th class reunion! This is the first summer my 2 oldest children didn't come home from college for the summer...so I have a lot less laundry, but it seems too quiet now.

[Courtney Walsh]

if only i could meet you right now! I could use the artichokes AND the girl time!

My laundry is never caught up. Not even for 30 seconds.
