What I Learned This Week

As is always the case here at From Inmates To Playdates, there is plenty to be shared about lessons I’ve learned this week.

In fact, Tuesdays are one of my favoritest (is that a real word?) days around here because generally my WILTW posts write themselves.

Quite possibly that’s because I’m a moron.

Here’s what I learned this week, in no particular order.

1. Our truck is much longer than my minvan, as was learned this week two seconds after I plowed into the neighbor’s mailbox.

2. Having a backhoe here at our house to dig three feet holes in the yard makes for an interesting day for our boys.

3. When ordering Tom and Jerry paraphernalia for a certain four-year-olds birthday party, you should go ahead and purchase the cake decoration because there will not be a party store in the tri-state area who carries it.

4. When you are heading up a major fund-raiser for your child’s school, you should be prepared to complete over half of the order forms even though you sent a simple, but detailed instruction form home.

5. It is totally possible for a four-year-old to have blood drawn for a blood test and not shed a single tear. AND when this happens, you will be one proud, thankful mama.

6. When your seven-year-old has permanent teeth coming in behind baby teeth, you can expect his dentist to say he needs to pull the baby teeth. AND when this happens, you will be  one nervous mama.

7. Instead of rifling through the trash when you have misplaced a check, you should probably take great care to look through your purse first.
