While we spent most of the last week getting back into the routine of school and, as of last night, homework, I still found time to learn the following lessons.
- Just because school is back in session doesn’t mean that fall weather is here.
- Surely one of the greatest ways that I can exemplify patience and self-control before my children is by keeping my mouth shut while driving them to school in rush-hour traffic each morning.
- Waiting until your hair is way past a manageable length to schedule a haircut, only to have your stylist call the morning of the appointment to say she’s home sick, makes for a week of scary-looking hairdos before the rescheduled visit.
- An e-mail encouragement from a friend can make your entire day.
- Few things say “I love you” like a husband who will cook his own meal and leave the kitchen looking like he was never there.
Read about what others learned this week by visiting Musings of a Housewife.
I'm totally with you on the back to schoo/fall weather-thing! I'd like to have your husband call my husband and give him a few pointers!
Wow – cook his own meal AND clean up after himself?!? That really DOES say I love you!!!
WOW ON #5 HE'S A KEEPER!
Great lessons! I will take your #2 lesson to heart when the back to school rush starts in 2 weeks. I have to be just as ready as my kids, right?
I don't practice the traffic one nearly often enough. But I do have a pretty good husband who cooks and cleans.
Thanks for commenting on my blog! Your lessons learned is very familiar to me except for #5, which is a dream of mine! I loved your "What She Did For Me" post!
What a great hubs and friend! And I'm all for rockin a ponytail in the carpool line! Go for it! Then you can drive slower in the crazy traffic because you didn't have to spend as much time fixing hair! Woohoo! 2 birds!
Love those lessons. Have a great week.
Great lessons! I always wait too long for a haircut.
My hubby cooks all the time but not so good at the cleanup. Oh well, I'll take the cooking part any time!
Keeping mouth shut during traffic – perfect way to show self control. Hard to do sometimes!
I could have written this, well, except for number five. 🙂
