Life Lessons

Some are learned the hard way, others, not so hard

• Snorting while you have raspberries in your mouth never results in a pleasant experience (this one was actually Michael's lesson today).
• Whoever said, "Love means never having to say you're sorry," never had a real relationship.
• No matter how carefully and attentively you watch your children, at some point they will fall down the stairs, draw on the walls and/or floor, and get outside without you knowing about it.
• Putting your hair in a ponytail is not the same as taking a shower.
• Your husband will never have the same idea of "clean" as you do. Never.
• You should thank him for cleaning anyway.
• Sometimes, taking a nap is more productive than cleaning the house.
  
• You get what you pay for.
• Whoever said, "There is no sting in death," never lost a child.
• Maybe they did. If they did, they are a lot stronger than I am.
• When your three-year-old is having a meltdown, a hug is more effective than a time-out.
• Don't mess with nap time.
• No matter how much you hate the mess she makes, you have to let the one-year-old feed herself.

• When your husband says you're beautiful, don't argue.
• He really does think you're beautiful.
• But he probably wishes your hair wasn't always in a ponytail.
