There are times I would appreciate a bit of rum, in lieu of creamer, for my coffee.
Things I Learned Today:
Missing an event you were looking forward to is sad, even when you're a grown up.
Knowing it couldn't be helped does keep things in perspective tremendously.
It is a wonderful feeling to inquire about bringing the children to a Bible study and hear, "Oh, yes, bring the children. We also have a homeschool room for the students to do their independent work during the study." Wow.
Zorak, Bringer of Starter Fluid and Slayer of Dragons, is very cool.
It's amazing how many of my memories are tied directly to starter fluid.
They weren't good memories when they were made, but they're kind of warm and fuzzy now.
Drive-thru car washes are really fun for children. (Knew this before, but had forgotten. Wonderful reminder today, though!)
Oil Changes get expensive when your vehicle gets older.
It's sad to think of The New Suburban as being "old".
"Please move the stack off the linoleum" is just a little too vague a direction to give a 6 year-old. You could get anything, trust me.
Toilet lids must stay down~ it's not a woman thing, it is a mother-of-toddlers thing!
No matter how much fun you're having playing with the children, when they start bonking their wee heads on the furniture with increasing frequency, it is time for bed. It will only get worse.
It's taken this full year, but I do believe we've begun to get the feel of this house - its best flow, and most efficient arrangement. We've found the groove, the auto-pilot, and we are finally learning how to maneuver the cockpit.
Now if we can figure out how to drain the swamp in the backyard, we'll be golden!
Kiss those babies!

If you've learned that "Knowing it couldn't be helped" puts things in perspective, then you've learned a very valuable lesson. I'm still at the point where I like to kick and scream and say "Well, why couldn't it be helped?"
Sounds like you had a very busy day.
