Made It

We made it through our first day of Kindergarten unscathed.  M had no problems and I only teared up about 20 times.  Success for everyone! 
Another milestone down...

Since we're in Kindergarten mode I will share a quote I recently heard by Wendy Kaminer -"Only people who die very young learn all they really need to know in kindergarten." 

I think she's right. Sometimes I think we just get so grown up and lost in the mess of life that we just don't see the lessons.  I hope I never stop learning, I hope I never get so busy or so complacent that I don't take the time to just stop and see.  Here are some things I've learned just in the last year:

-Sometimes it really stinks to be the boss.
-Baggy underwear can ruin an otherwise perfectly good day.
-What someone does has way more meaning than what they say.
-There is a country song for every mood and every situation.
-Some people never learned how to play nice.  I wish I could put them in time out.
-Wearing high heels makes me happy. Red heels make me even happier.
-Some mistakes are hard to recover from.
-My friends love me, in spite of myself.
-I'm better at some things than I thought I would be.  This surprises me.
-I'm not as good at some things as I expected to be. This disappoints me.
-It's called the high road because it takes effort in order to reach it.
-No one ever outgrows growing pains.
-Baked Doritos taste as bad as they sound.
-You know someone really gets you when they can hear your sarcasm over text.
-It's possible for Wordfeud games to last multiple days.
-Life is only as good as you make it.
