Here are a few things I've learned through experience during the last few weeks.
1. IF YOU TAKE YOUR SONS SUITS TO BE DRY CLEANED MAKE SURE YOU GET THEM BACK BEFORE HE HAS TO SPEAK ABOUT HIS MISSION IN SACRAMENT MEETING.
To be fair I did ask a few people to help me remember (and it's not like they aren't adults too!). And I did remember, at 10 o'clock Saturday night.
2. SISTERS REALLY ARE THE BEST.
Not that I didn't know this already but it's nice to know. (she'll love me for this one)
3. DON'T LET HELEN ELLSWORTH WATCH INFOMERCIALS.
We now have in our possession the Time-Life collection titled "Romancing the 70's". Where do my impulse buying tendencies come from?
4. GENERAL CONFERENCE CONTINUES TO BE AWESOME!
I was so uplifted by the talks I can't find words to express it. There were so many powerful testimonies of our Savior! I love how refreshed and comforted I feel the entire weekend (too bad Monday has to come around...)
5. COMPULSIVE EATING HAS A NAME.
We were eating a dessert at Marianne's house and realized we really weren't hungry, but it tasted so good! The Looses can leave their dog food down all day and their dog, Sam, only eats when he finally gets hungry. On the other hand our pup, Charlie, can down the whole bowl in a minute. We decided we'd refer to comfort eating as "Schnauzing" after my adorable, perpetually munchy Miniature Schnauzer.
6. FULL DISCLOSURE IS NOT ALWAYS BEST.
If any member of my family finds a dead mouse (even a tiny baby one) somewhere in my house DON'T TELL ME!!! I've not been able to go to a certain area of my basement for a few weeks.
