Life Lessons I've Learned Lately

1. Before you throw a load in the washing machine, make sure there are no Dora Pull-Ups in there. The tiny absorbant white stuff that has been broken into pieces in the washer, is really hard to get off clothes. It sticks like glue.

2. Do not load the dishwasher while Abby is anywhere close. She will either take the sharpest kitchen utensil out of the silverware basket and swing it around like a madwoman or she will climb on the door when it's down and try her best to get as far in as possible.

3. Do not order a stuffed bear from a website that you've never heard of before. They will never deliver your bear, charge your credit card, and cause you to worry that you've been a vicim of identity theft. (The charge was taken off my card, we got new cards, and so far no signs of identity theft.)

4. Do not park your minivan near any low limbs. That low limb will somehow attach itself to your front left bumper, rip it almost completely off when you (Nate) back out of the parking spot, and cost you a lot of money.

5. Do not plan a fun family day to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and then a much needed date with your husband on the same day. It really is too good to be true. Both children will get fevers and one will throw up multiple times, hence cancelling your fun family day and much needed date only to be replaced by laundry, yardwork, and cleaning.

6. Target makes everything better.
