Raking leaves before the trees are all bare is a very, very stupid thing. You WILL be raking again.
Paying your children to help you rake is a good idea.
In theory.
They will want to play in every pile they make. Thus voiding all your hard work.
And costing you money.
When you are having a fight with The Husband, it is a good idea if he actually knows about the fight. Otherwise, you end up pouting and stewing for nothing.
Having spiritual friends is a good thing. They will find creative ways to get your sorry soul to important church meetings like Saturday night stake conference.
And you will still like them in spite of this.
When The Husband buys a fire pit for the backyard, you should never let him "just get it started" inside. He will come very close to burning a hole in the floor.
You should still try to like him in spite of this.
Hiding the Halloween candy will not help you ignore it. You see, HALLOWEEN CANDY IS DELICIOUS, and it calls to you with its sweet, chocolate siren song.
Favorite thing this week: Listening to my baby girl read ME stories for a change.
Stie's Thoughts
Welcome! I am Christie, a wife, mother, and diet coke addict. I write to remember the gift that is my life. I wear diamond shoes, complain frequently, and wish desperately that my babies would stop growing up so fast.
“You’re all too self-absorbed to pay any attention to me!”
