Observations

Our kids are spending the week with family in the holy land (that's north east TN for those of you who were thinking of Jerusalem :) So with a very quiet a few days I made the following observations...
  • In the event of a nuclear holocaust the one surviving plant will be the red cannas around our central heat and air unit.
  • In the event of a nuclear holocaust the one surviving pest will the black widow spider. They are everywhere and never die.
  • Very few people know what Memorial Day is really about. Even fewer actually honor the men and women for whom the holiday is intended.
  • Even early morning sun can sunburn your face.
  • Our house is very dark at night when we don't have to keep bathroom and playroom lights burning bright for little people.
  • Our house is quiet and lifeless without those same little people.
  • Jersey Mike's is worth a second visit even when the first visit left you longing for Subway.
  • Lowe's is the busiest place on earth on Memorial Day.
  • The paint dept. at Lowe's on Memorial Day is unhappiest place on earth on Memorial Day. (glad we just walked by it and were not actually stopping to get paint)
  • God made trees for us, why does it cost $300 to have one in your front yard?
  • True friends are friends no matter how many miles separate you.
  • God is good and faithful and merciful.
  • My husband is one of my greatest blessings.
  • How can I have donated 78 lbs. of stuff to Goodwill and still have a full closet?
  • Maybe I have that hording disease??
  • Hardwood floors are only shiny and pretty before you move in.
  • The Unit is the best television has to offer.
  • Young boys (yes, he is 12 and I refuse to call him a young man, he is still my baby) who work hard with their grandfathers like to call their parents and tell them about it.
  • Little boys who are in potty training bootcamp like to call their mommy and brag about their potty triumphs.
  • Big sisters like to eat lots of strawberries.
  • Mommies really miss their babies.

So anyway, random thoughts and observations from a quiet house and a really clean closet.
