Things I've learned recently:

1. Husbands (MEN in general) do not understand the indescribable value of getting something on sale. Yes, we don't really need whatever...but come oooon, it's 50-75% off!!!
We are talking "SALE" here!!!
When we, as woman, see that good of a deal (on anything) we cannot help ourselves, we get this shopping high...and like any good addict, we must have it!!!!
Men, they just don't get it....
And my happiness.
Well how can you PUT a price on that?
I'll tell you how, Michael Kors Redding Drawstring Satchel, in Red....

2. An entire bottle of shampoo does not make NEARLY as many bubbles as one thinks it would when emptied into a full bathtub of water.
While I never had the balls to actually try this as a child...my youngest child? She does, errr....ummm...did.

3. While running late for baseball practice, it's not so good to ask your son if he has his pads & helmet....
Ummm Mom we don't wear pads or a helmet in baseball....
Oh.
Oh yea..
umm haha..
Just kidding!!!

4. Ceiling fans can take quite a beating from footballs, basketballs, and most recently baseballs and still not fall down.

5. Given enough Starbucks latte one can.....
take Kaitlyn to dance practice,
Nathan to baseball practice,
then Kaitlyn to softball practice,
Drag Brooklyn everywhere with me, screaming and crying that she wanted to stay home....
work on dinner, (i.e. drive-thru)
Insert more lattes here
check homework,
do laundry,
make all take baths/showers
and still manage to make it to bed by midnight!!!

6. Soap operas can totally make you a more well-rounded person. I've picked up quite a bit of lawyer terminology lately, with the whole Gloria going to prison, then not....storyline on Young and the Restless.

7. Gum, candy, even red wine can be removed from the carpet.
Pink glitter nail polish and Sharpie marker however, cannot.
Nor can they be removed from clothing, my comforter on my bed, or the dog's hair....
Just FYI.

8. According to Brooklyn, the WHOLE can of hairspray can definitely double as air freshener.
Never mind that the dog is now part of the wall, as she cannot move off if it...
But at least she looks good with her pink glitter nail polish!!!

9. After this Spring Break, I WILL be voting yes for year round school next time it's on the ballot!!!

10. Boys due have just as much drama as girls just not the same kind of drama....and they get over it waaaay faster.... and usually without any hair pulling.

So see, as we age we still learn something new everyday, even if it's totally worthless knowledge....
