1. When a Pepsi can freezes solid inside a hotel refrigerator and explodes at 2 a.m., it sounds like a gun shot and has enough force to actually blow the fridge door open. (Scared me to death, too.)
2. If you tire out your kids enough, they can actually sleep through a pop can exploding inside a hotel room fridge.
3. Megan is fearless. (Okay I already knew this one, but it got reinforced when she was jumping (wearing a floatie thing) into the hotel pool, without holding anyone’s hands. Crazy girl!)
4. When I don’t have internet for 3 days, I get lots of housework done.
5. AT&T has great customer service, once you get past the robo-operator. Robo-dude kept telling me to restart my computer when we actually had a broken wire in the outside AT&T box. So yeah, not helpful!
6. Assuming that one day we will get past it, I think I will look back on potty training in the same way I look back on junior high. Long frustrating years I’m so glad I’ll never have to do again.
7. It doesn’t matter whether you actually like or understand a particular sport…when you watch it during the Olympics, you can’t help but be excited and cheer.
8. I despise primetime coverage of the Olympics.
9. When my kids throw fits over stupid little things…it looks a lot like what happens when I throw a fit over a stupid little thing. Go figure.
10. Our internet was down since Tuesday, and a friend/neighbor moved away this week. And I have been very lonely. I had no idea how much I relied on those two resources for connection and support.
11. My body is not going to hold up as well with this pregnancy as it did with the previous two. I was really hurting yesterday.
12. Listening to my kids say their ABC verses to me (and to each other) is one of the sweetest things ever.
13. “His divine power has provided all I need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him…” — in other words, “The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need” (NLT).
