It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time for another edition of What I Learned This Week.
As always, this post will practically write itself because y’all know my fount of information will never, ever run dry.
Each week, I consider writing a nice, tidy list-free WILTW post, and then it hits me that a list is so simple. Not to mention, a good list makes me smile, so I suppose I should just stick with what works. I hope you faithful readers (all eight of you) don’t mind.
- When you are having lunch at your sweet four-year-old says something like, “Mom, this is the worst chocolate milk, EVER!” there is a pretty good chance the milk is sour.
- If you mention to the waitress that your child just drank half a cup of the “worst chocolate milk ever” she will apologize profusely and then bring him a soft drink. The thing I learned is that the restaurant may still attempt to charge you for both drinks. That is, until you get all riled up and mention the words “possibly” and “puke” before letting them know that you will not pay for either drink.
- The School Superintendent in our county is more concerned about our children not missing a day of instruction than he is in the fact that the school is filled with possibly toxic fumes from tile glue.
- That same Superintendent also finds it perfectly acceptable to house two classes totaling fifty children in the school library for three days.
- I am quite sure my hair is 74% grayer than it was this time last year.
- If Wit’s End was a real place, I’d have a second home there now thanks to the County Superintendent and his Board members.
- Cookie Crisp doesn’t really taste like chocolate chip cookies and milk.
- Our house is a fun place to hang out. Just ask any of the 312 big black stupid ants I’ve killed this week.
- Menu planning makes cooking everyday much simpler and enjoyable.
- The new nail place in the Wal-Mart has a new Deluxe pedicure that includes a hot scalding towel wrap. My legs will never be the same.
That’s it for me. What did you learn this week?
You know the drill.

Thanks for the reminder – I want to try out the pedicure place in Walmart. Maybe Wednesday.
Great post! I just had Cookie Crisp last week, for the first time in years. It doesn’t taste nearly as good now that I’m not having to sneak it when mom’s not looking
I’m gonna write a WILTW post and link up!

Thanks for hosting, you do a great job
Sour milk – bleugh!
If you see my lesson from this week, you know I’ll see you at Wits End!!
LOL, I have often thought about moving to Wit’s end, as well. As for those ants………..well, tell them that despite being picnic season, they aren’t on the guest list! Have a great week!

There is nothing wrong with a good list. I love list.
Can I join you in Wit’s End it would be better than staying here in Looneyville. And sour chocolate milk, is there anything worse?

Well, I finally made it to one of your “What I learned this week”! I have been meaning to, but as you know, my posts have been few and far between because of this pregnancy….I so wish I had a laptop!
Anyway, loved your list. My nail place does the hot towel thing, too! And I love it!
That was hysterical. Am I sensing that you are having some issues at your children’s school?
Ahh…the ants…I just mentioned to my hubby the other day that I realized we haven’t had our biannual sudden ant overnight any invasion into the dogs’ food/water and our kitchen lately that can only be taken care of by any traps, and in the meanwhile really freaks me out. That reminded me, and your post, to get out there and stock up on my ant traps!
