Last week's lessons

  • Having the grandparents show the kids an R-rated movie (even a World War II historical masterpiece) will produce a lot of "discussions" on S-E-X (as McKay calls it). Even though the S-E-X parts were skipped over and not actually viewed by my children.
  • These "discussions" will be so entertaining for me that I will have to leave the room to keep from laughing in front of McKay.
  • When visiting my husband, I should always remember to bring my contact lens case.
  • Putting my contacts in a cup - and informing my husband of that fact - will not stop him from accidentally drinking my contacts in the morning.
  • Hannah will notice immediately if one shred of my outfit is new. Whining and complaining about the lack of her own new outfit will soon follow.
  • It is possible to gain five pounds in four days.
  • It will take twice as many days to take those five pounds off.
  • When going to the grocery store solely for milk, I will buy everything else for sale and get home before I realize that I forgot to actually buy the milk.
  • In Touch Magazine is purely a smut-filled trash rag that brings me great pleasure to read all alone on a plane.
  • Having a few days away does wonder for a mother's soul.
