What I Learned This Week

in What I Learned This Week

 It’s been a fun, relaxing weekend. 

But, I am draggin’ my wagon.

My fellas and I spent Memorial Day Weekend in our Summer home camper with two families from our church.

With the exception of the FREAKIN’ HUMIDITY and the never-ending flow of snot that made its way out of my nose, it was a perfect weekend.

Gross. Yes, I know. But totally true. Seriously, where in the heck does it all come from?

Between blowing my brains out into a tissue every three minutes and the endless whining about the stupid humidity, I was a real gem to hang out with this weekend.

Just ask McDaddy.

Even with the drama-filled camping weekend, I found time to learn some stuff. A fact, which I’m sure thrills y’all to pieces.

- Regardless of their claims, generic tissues suck. Or blow. Whichever way you want to look at it.

- In the state of West Virginia, a person is only permitted to be issued a marriage license eight times.

Random. But true.

- When your child’s field day is scheduled for 11:30 am – 1:15 pm, you can pretty much expect to be miserable, especially if it’s 90 degrees in the shade.

- I am apparently at the age where I need to set reminders on my iPhone for events like Dental appointments because apparently writing the appointment on three different calendars is simply not enough.

Dang.

- Microwaving your kitchen sponge for two minutes is a great way to get rid of germs.

- The older your boys become, the less time it will take for them to wear holes in their pants.

- Online forums are a great way to find answers to your automotive questions.

- When your son’s school has a street fair planned, it is a good idea to PUT THE SCHEDULE UP WHERE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND IT or else you’ll not have a clue when or where you’re supposed to be.

I guess that’s enough drama information for one week.

How ’bout you? What did you learn this week? You know the drill.

You are so on the money about the generic tissues. I’ve learned to go ahead and splurge for the ones with lotion in them — they are so easy on the honker.
I’m glad you guys are home safely and that you had a great time. :) I’ve learned (from you) that it is GREAT to have a bunch of great friends – especially from church. :) I’ve learned that one can leave one’s hair up in curlers too long! Ha

I’m so with you with the generic tissues. Gross, and ouch.

Why do you randomly know about the limit of marriage licenses in WV? You are a treasure trove of knowledge, that is for sure.

I hate this time of year too, even where I live without the humidity. We have to avoid the dryness…need to drink, drink, drink (water that is), keep the nasal passages moist, and well…count the days until fall… Glad I’m on my first marriage and you are too, I think!

I can’t believe you stayed in a camper while sick. I totally would’ve stayed home, holed up in the bed while crying about how I was dying. I mean, maybe. Not that I’ve ever done that before or anything…
