Lessons I’ve learned in the last 5 months (Part 1)

Blogging?  I’m too busy living!

 

And yet, here I am… after a long hiatus from the blogosphere, I’ve decided to come back and share my not so interesting life with you.

 

Lessons I’ve learned in the last 5 months (Part 1):

1. Lice are NOT fun!
2.  Don’t let your 5 year old wear fake tattoos on areas of the body that cannot be concealed by clothing. Teachers don’t like it.
3. Let your 15 year old stepson do his OWN laundry to avoid awkward moments.  Eww!
4. Acknowledge the signs of heat exhaustion BEFORE it’s too late.  No bueno :-/
5. Beer, vodka, orange juice, monster, jagermeister and hot tubs don’t mix.
6. Breeding English Bulldogs is a freaking nightmare and I’ll never do it again.
7. Crawfish enchiladas are the BOMB!  Thanks P!
8. Wishing yourself thin doesn’t work (and neither did My Fitness Pal).
9. Ash is not a good color for me.
10. Tan lines are the DEVIL!
11. Don’t ever agree to take in another animal when you already have two adults, a 15 year old stepson, two little girls (5 & 6) two dogs and one cat in a 1600 sq.ft. home.
12. Roller-skating is fun at any age!  Just don’t hold hands with your 5 & 6 year old. There’s nothing worse than a really awkward 31 year old woman in the middle of reliving her youth, trying to catch her balance on roller skates, (while still trying to look cool) falling backwards with legs flailing in the air, and nearly hitting her head on the lubed up hardwood floors.  Who knew a 5 year old could take down a grown ass woman?!
13. I’ll never win “Mother of the Year”
