{ Me thinks... I've learned...}

ME THINKS Monday

What I've learned in the past week....
That sugar cookies are evil and for some reason keep calling my name
I've learned..... that the garbage disposal works great for the remaining ones that kept calling my name lol..

{the kids helped me make these so they don't look so martha but we had fun and they were so so good!!}

ME THINKS THIS WAS FUN TO PLAY AROUND WITH {especially after eating cookies..}

I've learned.....that I really miss my treadmill that is nicely tucked into a corner in the basement with plastic sheeting surrounding it gathering drywall dust just waiting to come out again {but I have to say they are working really fast on the basement its looking great!}......

I've learned that.... I'm really getting sick of snow and cold and ice and can't wait to go to the park with the kids or run with the wind {literally} and my i pod....

I've learned .... that it seems like there are a lot more adult content in children's movies like Madagascar 2 things like when they say at the end "Love knows no differences" {or something about boundaries} just before marrying the hippo and giraffe...
anybody else find something wrong with that??
I know the kids don't know the difference but it really bugged me..
I've learned that.... you don't bet your kids 5 bucks that dad will not buy a treat {cause your so sure he won't } when he goes in to pay for gas... then comes out with a treat ..
happy five buck richer kids yes...

I've learned that... sometimes your seven year old is right and sometimes teaches me something I didn't know.... Am I stupid?Or I just need to go back to grade one???

I've learned.. that no matter what you do you will not please everyone as hard as you try to make it work for all.

I've learned that... if there are dry wallers in your basement you don't raise your voice as much...
MAYBE we should all pretend somebody else lives in our house {say the saviour} all the time with us and that we should never yell or talk to loud anyway.. just a thought.. for myself.

Having been in primary over the last few year so often the words of this song run through my head :

If the Savior stood beside me, would I do the things I do?
Would I think of His commandments and try harder to be true?
Would I follow His example? Would I live more righteously,
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?

If the Savior stood beside me, would I say the things I say?
Would my words be true and kind if He were never far away?
Would I try to share the gospel? Would I speak more reverently
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?

If the Savior stood beside me, would my thoughts be clean and pure?
Would His presence give me strength and hope, and courage to endure?
Would His counsel guide my actions? Would I choose more worthily
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?

He is always near me, though I do not see Him there
And because He loves me dearly, I am in His watchful care
So I'll be the kind of person that I know I'd like to be
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me.

I've learned... that just taking an hour every once in awhile to get your hair done is like a mini retreat! I love getting my head shampooed/massaged

{I know it seems like I just got my hair highlighted but my hairdresser is moving to Australia! I'm going to miss her!}

I've learned.. that life is full of learning experiences its what we do with them that matters.

What are you learning from LIFE??
