Lessons life has taught me, and other observations

Sometimes "NO" is an acceptable answer. Don't cut people off in traffic, and if someone cuts you off.. don't flip them the bird.. because maybe just maybe they were having a rough day, and the kids were fighting, and they dropped their phone into a thirstbuster, and just for a second was distracted..

Just don't tell them when it is. Know then names of all your kids teachers. No one can hurt you, unless you let them. A wise woman once said "choose not to be offended". Treasure your relationships, but don't let any of them become your "Jesus". Nap every chance you get. Love BIG. Don't forget to be polite. It goes so far!!

That's ok Amy thought.. (upon returning home) Today will still be a great day! *sniff sniff* Quickly Amy was alerted to the smell of death surrounding her house. Animals.. CHECK all is well.. Sink.. CHECK, nothing decaying.. ewww what is that smell. "MOM" Connor says.. "I think it's coming from outside".. I go outside.. EWW EWW.. " It smells like i
