what we've hopefully learned . . .

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can‘t dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she‘s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes; and it‘s up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

a little giggle

It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird.

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.

What do you mean, my birth certificate expired?

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.

Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers. - Homer Simpson

Advise please!



















Well . . . we made it through our first week of "back to school" - yippee!! The kids all got off to their 3 different schools, Levi managed to find his way on the ETS, Colton and I made it to his school with out being late, and the girls got off on time without any issue - pretty good start to a crazy year ahead. Our driving schedule will be very hectic for the next year with football, dance, piano, bible study, cadets, swimming lessons, soccer, tutor and the like. Mike and I will really have to committ to finding time alone to spend together and also time with the kids . . .making use of driving time with them can be fun too.


Any suggestions/tips/advise, things that work for you to stay sane . . . from all my organized friends would be great. How do you manage all the driving, house cleaning, LAUNDRY, working, family time, etc . . . I need all the help i can get!!
