10 Things I'm Learning

-
If you actively try to keep up with your home, "A place for everything and everything in its place", Your desire to shop and fill it with stuff will diminish. This is lame, but also freeing.

After a long shopping hiatus you might get hit with the shopping bug so, so hard.

Bending over is no big deal  until you are quite pregnant.

The chicks on You Tube make crocheting look easy but it is, in fact, HARD.

If I sit down after my toddler goes to bed (both for naptime and bedtime) I will never get back up again.

When fall {finally} arrives, Florida weather isn't so bad

There will always be a dishwasher to fill and empty (insert pathetic, whining face here).

 The trip to church is 5-7 minutes if I'm alone. The trip is 8-11 minutes if I have my co-pilot in the back seat (and I usually do).

Maternity shorts and pants in good condition are slim to none at Thrift Stores.

Rattling off head knowledge about the bible and the gospel to your (PASTOR OF A) husband or ladies in your bible study is different than sitting still and letting buckets of grace fall onto your head while you let the good news of Jesus, a friend for sinners, seep into your soul.

I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
