Lessons I have learned lately... by Erin

Ok... so mine won't be as good as Ali's cause I do not live with the same characters as she does... so... bear with me...

  1. Some kids get mom's skin... some kids get dad's skin... use sunscreen generously because you don't know til it is too late who has what skin.
  2. Rat poop is bigger than mouse poop
  3. Rats eat bigger things than mice do and leave evidence they have participated in eating.
  4. Ants do not need food to survive. Baby wipes containers suffice as a water source I suppose.
  5. If it is your anniversary, don't expect to be able to do anything special as a couple.
  6. Children can out push-up their parents. Rather... their mother
  7. a BIG chest makes for more difficult pushups. I am not talking about buff pecs either.
  8. 3 year old girls are not always afraid of spiders.
  9. Maintanance will always have something stupid to say.
  10. Some grapes in the bag are better than others. When you have a bowlful that aren't your favorite ones, just dump them randomly in the refrigerator and get more. Nobody will notice. It is ok... really... it is.
  11. When you get all the dishes done in the house it doesn't mean you have to go and make 2 more loads of dishes. Just because there is an empty sink, it doesnt scream "FILL ME!"
  12. It only takes 3 days for someone to deliver an item to your house. And then, they aren't going to show up when they say they are going to.
  13. Sea Monkeys will always be around to bother the heck out of me and amuse the children thoroughly. (WHY do I have to grow these things again?!)
  14. My camera... I hate it. I think you already all know this.
  15. People will lie out their arse to get you to buy a vehicle even if they are family.
  16. Never buy a vehicle from someone who is even remotely related to you (THANK GOD we didnt follow through on that)
  17. It will take you 4 hours to fill up a whole bunch of water balloons and only 4 minutes to wreck them all. In the meantime, you will get hit with one.. and only one... making it look like you have urinated yourself.

OK.... I might add to this... but.. I TAG JAIME, ERICA, MONICA, AND FARM FRESH JESSICA IF YOU MAKE IT OVER HERE....
