You Never Stop Learning
So, we had a productive weekend. Not only did we keep the kids busy, accomplish some household tasks and have some fun, I learned some valuable lessons.
1. If you are going to drive 60 mph down the freeway it is best to have the trunk of your minivan closed. Thankfully none of the 10 or so boxes of Goodwill donations or Sam's guitar spilled out, but it was a harrowing 30 seconds, much like a roller coaster ride - chock full of screams, wind and praying.
2. If you leave a gallon of milk in the car overnight, especially in June in Texas, it will go bad. No matter how long you refrigerate it. No matter how cold the refrigerator. (But you'll most likely forget this until you take a big glug of it after scarfing down donuts.)
3. When you get your sassy summer dresses out of the storage closet and start wearing them, it is best to give them the once over for rips, stains, moth holes. Or you might just wear one around town for half a day before realizing there is a quarter-sized, heart-shaped hole just above the crack of your butt.
4. It is always good to have a few extra minutes on a busy morning. Minutes you could spend relaxing, reading the paper, putting on makeup or, I don't know, digging a flaming Pop Tart out of the toaster. You may get out of the house with second-degree burns on your hands and singed eyebrows but thanks to those extra minutes, you won't be stressed about the time.
