Things I have learned

I figured April Fools was a great day to write this post.

Things I have learned!

1.) We will always be late to everything. - It does not matter how much coaching I do he will find a way to undermine me. Whether it is waiting till the last moment to ask whether or not his jeans are clean or refusing to get baby dressed and then playing ignorant on where and as to what baby is to wear.

2.) It does not matter how often I do laundry what he wants to wear will be dirty. - This often happens because he will go 'outside' to do who knows what while I finish getting ready and get baby ready. (refer to number one)

3.) It doesn't matter how nice I am to the women that I don't like they will always be mean to me. - This one really don't bother me too much. Really it just gives me material for me and my friends to have a good laugh about. So I guess I should say Thank You to them someday. I just haven't found the right pile of dog shit yet. Maybe I will soon. I am always looking.

4.) One week after a hair cut I will hate it and notice that it is not even. - I am always right no matter how much the twit at Great Clips argues I will get a free hair cut. I have no clue how they can call a half inch difference even. I lucked out last time and actually got to get my hair cut in Tabor and still love it. I think I will just have to make the drive to get it cut there from now on. I can actually straighten it now and not have to worry. Not that I will do it everyday or even comb it but it is nice to know that I can.

5.) As soon as Austin gets home Mason will play the act of a perfect angel. - No matter how bad our day has been he gets this angelic lie about him and Austin thinks I'm crazy. Thankfully my new camera has video so now I have proof.

6.) If something isn't where he thinks it should be it is my fault. - I'm sorry you can not leave a coping saw, chisel, hammer, and assorted screw drivers in my dinning room and expect them to still be in the middle of the floor a week later. I thought we had discussed that during our baby proofing talk(s). Obviously I was wrong. Sorry I put them where they belong.

7.) As soon as Mason closes his eyes whether it be for nap or bed time the telephone will ring. - Never fails! I can yell at telemarketers but I get strange looks when I yell at his mother. Oops.

8.) As soon as I get comfy the dog will have to go outside. - It does not matter if I had just let him in. He will go #1 and #2. Now why couldn't he just do that the first time.


9.) Mason will wake up as soon as Austin closes the bathroom door in the morning. - He will sleep through the alarm for an hour but as soon as he closes that door Mason is screaming. Makes me wish Austin didn't have to be to work so early.

10.) Cameron will get all my firsts. - It does not matter how much I work with Mason on something as soon as he sees Cammie he will do it for her. First laugh, first kiss and first hug. I am sure he will even walk for her first. I am really close to forbidding her from holding my child.

11.) What is planned for supper will not be what he wants. - Even if it is something he has been asking for.

12.) The car will always need gas when I am running late. - Even if I wasn't the last one to drive it. I am seriously wondering if Austin isn't syphoning it. When we go somewhere together it amazingly doesn't need gas.


Austin and I have been together for going on 12 years in June. We have been married for almost 8 of those. Sometimes I think they have been the l o n g e s t eight years of my life. Then there are times where I wake up before he does and look over at him and see how much older he looks now than when we got married and wonder where all the years went. This last year has gone so fast and been so wonderful watching Mason grow. I wouldn't change it for the world. No matter what little petty argument Austin and I have had. Let me tell you there have been some really stupid tiffs over the years. My favorite is the ice cube fight. (He doesn't like that I make ice cubes with HOT water to this day.) Maybe one of these years I will get him trained maybe not. I wouldn't want life to be too predictable after all. Then what would me and my friends laugh about. Well, other than the hateful ladies we don't like that is.
