Things I have learned the hard way...and it's only Tuesday

-When that little light tells you you need gas, you probably should get some.

-Three diapers WILL NOT last one and a half days and one night.

-Five little girls ages 6, 5, 5, 2 & 2 do not make for a fun trip to the grocery store to purchase afore mentioned diapers.

-Vacuums in left in doorways before going to bed and toes in the middle of the night DO NOT mix!

-Without water, plants WILL die.

-Eggs from dinner the night before do not wash off the pan as easily the next day.

-Clothes left inadvertently in the washer will sour by morning.

-Always go to the bathroom before you go for a morning walk.

-When kids jump on the bed before bedtime it probably means they won't go to bed for hours.

  1. Taking 5 kids below age 7 to the store... you nutty girl. Life is nothing if not an education, huh?

  2. That trip to the store sounds like pure insanity! That diaper bit though, that cracked me up!

  3. I will endeavor to remember all these life lessons…except for the diaper bit, no worries there.

    :D On the plus side, you are probably done learning for this week, right?, it's all coasting from here on

  9. I hope #1 and #3 were not concurrent, and that the week takes a dramatic turn for the better.

  10. I took five kids to the store a few weeks ago. It was the insanest ten minutes of my life. One of the things I was there to buy were pg tests. After a couple of minutes of chasing down all of my little chickies, I didn't even dare show up at the register with pg tests!

    oh, it sounds like it's been a bad day. I have those ALL the time. Wish you lived closer I would've gotten the diapers for you.

  12. Sounds like some of the lessons that I have had over the years. But I seem to still be working with the vaccuum and toes one, but that is because my older kids leave it out. :)

  14. Can I just say "ditto" on everything? Especially the plants dieing without water (when will I learn?), leaving clothes in the washer (how many days is it?) and taking children to the store (torture, shear torture). And all this happened before Tuesday? You have my sincere condolances.

  16. Yeah, I hate going to the store with just a baby, let alone 5 moving busy bodies! Sorry you had a rough day. I hope the week got better. Ah, it's finally the weekend... the yard work calls, ick.
