lessons of my life- do not be so serious.

I’m way overdue and a total slacker but have had plans to link up with Rachel for a while now. She’s was hosting a holiday Life Lessons but I still wanted to write my first list about my life lessons. I’ll tell you about things regarding holiday on another post.

I’ve learned many lessons during my brief 39 years. I’ve married a man who can put up with me, we’ve created two beautiful and crazy monkeys, and I’ve been lucky to gain knowledge that certain things have gotten me to this point in my life.

1. When you hear your husband yell from the bathroom, “Stop touching yourself!”, don’t make eye contact and walk away slowly.

2. The bathroom will never be clean to your standards. Ever.

3. Laundry isn’t that important UNTIL everyone in the house is walking around naked.

4. They’ll wake up the second you turn on that show, start to take that shower, or try to make that phone call.

5. MIL will always judge you just as you will judge your kid’s significant other.

6. Wine numbs the pain of the day away. Vodka works too.

7. Yes, you are a good mother. Stop judging yourself on an hour of tv.

8. An iPad can help your sanity.

9. Questions starting with the word “Why” should be limited to one a day.

10. Don’t ever underestimate the karma points of offering a play date.

11. My life would be full with holes without my family.

Please join me this week for a Thanksgiving type post or two. I might be feeling generous
