Here are some things I've learned this week from my very exciting, extremely fulfilling life.

Sniffles will always turn into bacteria-infected, green slimy nose kinds of things.
If you take Hannah with you to go birthday shopping for ANYONE, she will make it a point to announce to them what they are getting.
If you take Hannah with you to go shopping for anyone else, she will beg and manipulate you into buying presents for HER. You will be powerless to resist.
Green slimy nose kinds of things always turn into ear infections.
An hour in the doctor's waiting room does not a happy mother make.
Making homemade bread will make everyone happy.
Kids run the highest fevers at three o'clock in the morning. By eight a.m., they are annoyingly chipper.
Mutual just is not fun for me, no matter what the refreshments are.
It is truly paradise here. Don't listen to me when I complain.
Hannah lacks the desire to blow her own nose.
Homework can be fun when you're drunk on M&Ms.
Frogs can hide for days in a tiny backyard, loudly croaking all night long, taunting you.
A warm bath and a scrapbooking magazine can fix anything.
The way to win favor with Chase is to let him run on the treadmill (after all - he's begged for a week). What? You want to exercise? Why don't you just sit here and watch t.v. some more, you silly kid... He'll be like putty in your hands after that.
Josh practicing the guitar makes me happy.
Greatest invention ever: the crock pot.

So there you have it. What did you learn this week?
