Things I learned this week

Things I learned this week

- Children will do anything to draw attention to themselves while in public places because they just know you won't spank them.
- Summer is about 3 weeks too long.
- Whatever they pay my kids teachers, it's not enough.
- Being without a crockpot for two weeks cut my menu selections sharply.
- The Olympics are really good, but I can't wait for football.
- If you make a fuss at McDonald's, they won't give you the toys in your Happy Meals.
- i know an awful lot about pregnancy and birth - I did some research this week and found that I understood a great deal.
- I really need coffee. Every day.
- All boys pants size 16 are not the same.
- The school supply that is required for seventh grade is the very one that the school has sold out of, and no one at Office Max has ever heard of.
- Never loan an extremely hard to find video of Sinbad's HBO special about growing up in the 70's, to your brother inlaw. The very one who gave it away.
- A piece of chocolate cake every night is really good for my sanity, but deadly for my tush.
- My neighbor is really tired of her kids. She sent them over my house to play, with strict instructions not to come home, as she was tired of them.
- Fate is already getting on my nerves. The first night of back to school meetings, not even the start of school yet, and I've already got a conflict.
- Getting hit in the head got me some good treatment the next day.
- I've reached the number of children that is too much for most babysitters.
- I really should get better at taking my vitamins. I feel better when I do.
- I eat too much junk.

I'm sure I learned more, but I'm drawing a blank. Thanks to Lee over at Oh, no the Blog! for the idea!
