Things I learned yesterday...

1. When you know ahead of time you will be late for something, at least 5 things will happen to make you even later.

2. Being in a hurry always makes me forget things. (5 additional trips into the house to gather forgotten items.)

3. Hydroplaning does happen (luckily not to us.)

4. Hydroplaning causes major accidents on the freeway (5 car pile up, one upside down.)

5. Lots of emergency vehicles have to pass to get to major accidents on the freeway.

6. If your child has recently eaten an orange, his puke doesn't smell quite as bad as normal puke.

7. Nothing is on sale when you have to emergency shop for clothes on Sunday at Shopko for a child covered with puke.

8. It is better to shop for clothing not on sale than to have to clean up puke all over the van.

9. Putting the wrong address into your phone will not get you to your desired destination if you follow the directions it gives you.

10. Tempers may get a little heated after too many things go wrong on your way to anything.

11. Spending a good time with family can make up for a lot of things that have gone wrong.

Sounds like an eventful day. Followed by yet another. Are you're nerves frazzled yet...mine would be! Hopefully you will have a glorious, un-eventful Tuesday.

Yeah, no kidding about being late and then being even later! It always happens! Even when you plan to be on time, something happens to mess up the carefully planned timline of "getting everyone out of the house". Geesh - and we only have 3 people to get out!

#6 is... uh, interesting? And gross. But really, kind of interesting.

Good for you--deciding to learn from it instead of hating it. You are a good woman. It can't have been a fun day, but you survived. That's even better. Love ya,
