Lessons of Yesterday. The problem with these is that they would have been more useful ahead of time! : ( However, they can still bring humor to our lives, so here we go.

1. Papercuts from cardboard boxes hurt. Pay a lot of attention when moving heavy boxes of books.

2. I am stubborn. I do not like to make two trips, let alone three trips. Therefore, when moving the entire year's Religious Education book order from the lobby to upstairs I decided to do it in two trips with the utility cart. I realized this was probably not so smart when it took to "heave-ho's" to get the second load out of the elevator.

3. Don't settle for better over the best. What a conundrum! There may be something or someone present who is inherently good for you. However, this doesn't mean that this is the best for you.... I can't elaborate more right now or I might go into hives....

4. It can hail in Colorado in July. (this was odd to me because it usually hails in Pennsylvania in the winter) We're not just talking little bits, but "the size of grapes" as Breanne explained.

5. Always have a mattress pad cover- you never know what might happen. Last night Carmel got ticked that he wasn't "in on the party" (as in with the guests) and you can use your imagination from there. Yuck. I was not a happy mama. Sleeping on the couch for a night isn't all that bad...

6. It would be really cool if God would reveal the time of significant events in our life to us. Like "Hey, just in case you were wondering, on May 20, 2007, you're going to meet your future spouse" and..."FYI- that whole death thing, don't fret it! Do whatever you want because you're gonna go until your 98!" Although, at the same time there would be a lack of surprise in that too...but you've gotta admit it would be sort of cool.

7. Cinnamon and sugar tortilla crisps are yummy! : )

Ok...that's enough. I think seven is an awesome number so I'll stop at that. I think the rest of my realizations yesterday don't need to be public knowledge. You'll just have to ask. : )
