Some things I have learned this week:
- Never underestimate travel time. Everyone is constantly on the road during Spring Break.
It took me half an hour to travel six miles on the highway last night. And that was going in the opposite direction of Rush Hour.
- Enjoy the time kids sleep in.
Once they wake up, thinking is out of the question.
- Always wear jeans and socks and shoes to work in the garden.
You would be surprised how many insects can find your sweaty shoes comfortable.
- As a corollary to the above, do not do gardening when surrounded by dogs.
You would be surprised how many insects find their fur comfortable.

And now I’m going to go drink more coffee, and get the day started!!

Also, never go “commando” while wearing a sun dress while gardening. 😉

“Enjoy the time kids sleep in.”
Amen, Sister!
BTW, I tried to comment earlier, but WP wouldn’t let me because I wasn’t logged in. I thought it was a typical SNAFU, but it turns out that WP has changed its commenting system. For the worse. Here’s the scoop:

I read about it yesterday.
What bothers me is that there was no warning, and they have yet to address the issues.

The Support Forum has been full of scathing critiques, yet we’ve yet to hear anything from WP. I think they’re in panic mode, looking for a way to backtrack, while still saving face.
Here’s an interesting theory as to why they did it:

Romey, you are sooooo correct on this bit of wisdom! There is a corollary as well.
IF you have 2 teenage boys, “doubling” the amount of food will not satisfy their needs….it must be, at the very least, cubed!

Aggie, it has been my observation as a husband of thirty years (ok, sixteen, it only seems like thirty) that women of the opposite sex never properly estimate travel time. Well, sometimes they get it right but even a blind squirrel can find a nut occasionally.
There, did that earn me “the look”? I already got it a dozen times today for nothing so I might as well do something to earn it. No, it wasn’t from Cruel Wife…
Yeah, the logged in to comment thing was a pisser. I am about to hit “post comment” and we will see if that was fixed.
