With about 2 million items on the to-do list at our old house and a similar number at the new house, we have been spending about half of our time for the past 2 months at each place. That means that we are constantly traveling. Usually for about 6-7 hours at a time in the car. Ugh. On Wednesday, we finally got back home to the new house and are attempting to recuperate from the many hours of travel and work. During the past few weeks though, I’ve started to realize a few things, so I thought I would share them with you.<\/p>\n

10 things that I recently learned or relearned about life\u2026<\/p>\n

1.)\tDriving for long periods of time is not really that <\/em>fun.
\n2.)\tNever try to reason with a tired and hungry 5 year old. You will most likely talk in circles and end up blubbering to yourself.<\/p>\n

\"Oy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3.)\tRed beverages always spill.
\n4.)\tPrincess crowns can turn into \u201cthe Crown of Shame\u201d for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n

5.)\tWhen I\u2019m away, I miss the heck out of my husband and dogs.
\n6.)\tI don\u2019t miss the burping and the massive hair balls.<\/p>\n

\"Missed<\/a><\/p>\n

7.)\tI can get a lot of things done in a short period of time.
\n8.)\tHowever, when I push myself for days on end, I usually end up sick.<\/p>\n

\"Sicko\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9.)\tGood friends are like good wine. They get better with age.
\n10.)\t It is so good to be home.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, we will be back in the routine by Monday so that we can share with you the plans for Pinky’s new room!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
