JFF: What Did You Learn Today?

I learned late last night, so close to today - that you since you can't reason with crazy, in some cases it is best to ignore it and hope they just go away.

How to download Google Chrome. Or is it upload? (I don't know why I bother to try to learn this stuff - I don't know up from down!)

So did I learn it or not? Good question!

Love this post!!!

Today I learned that no matter how long you've lived somewhere, you can still miss your exit! I took the kids to school and had to drive an extra 12 miles because I wasn't paying attention and drove right by my exit. Felt like a complete idiot, but I decided this was a little extra quiet time in the car, which I enjoyed.

Now, back to cleaning the house. Fun!

Oh, Janette, I hope you check this post again, because I'm dying to know what Austrian subtraction is!

I learned I'm way too freaking old to stay up until 2:00 am.

I learned in the 12 step traditions.. that survival is not the same as recovery.. Quite honestly, I guess I always thought if you survived some traumatic event that in some way it equaled recovery (e.g. alcoholism in a family) ... Sounds like DUH.... but it was an AHA moment for me because when you know the difference between the two... you can begin to approach the matter differently and with a new perspective..

My husbands grandmother turns 100 tomorrow too😊 I just got her a "happy birthday" card. My grandmother who was very easy going did not like all the Happy 90th birthday cards she received.. I would think you may not want to be reminded of your age at 100.

I learned that my daughter can get up 40 minutes early, get ready and eat breakfast with no problem (early even) and STILL almost miss the bus. Gotta love Dad being home and allowing tv on in the am (and ignoring the clock once there is just 5 minutes before bus arrives)!

Austrian subtraction.

That 4 hours sleep, getting up and getting the kids off to school, followed by 2 hours of interrupted sleep (barking dog and chirping frog outside the window) is not enough.

Edited:
We really were mislead for political reasons. AND the IRS is controlled by political hacks targeting certain groups. Sorry, not fun but I am really ticked right now.
Sorry if some have no clue what I am referring to.

Hmm I learned that caffeine may be making me more on edge...that I really should think about cutting it out!

I also learned that starfall.com has a 1st grade curriculum up that my daughter finds interesting. I'm also amazed by how well she is telling the time.

hhhmmmm...good question...haven't been awake long enough today to learn something new...but I'm sure I will...

Sorry to disagree - our Hallmark store and our Target have anniversary cards for 60th...and we have birthday cards for 100 - now, granted, there are maybe 2 or 3 to choose from - but we have them.

So I would have to go back to yesterday....I learned that engineered hardwoods still need to be dropped off prior to installation to "acclimate" to the home.

60 lbs of smoked brisket, 3 huge pans of potatoe salad and 3 of cole slaw can feed our high school teachers for PTA end of the year lunch.
Lots of gratitude makes your heart happy.

That a five year old can produce copious amounts of vomit at 4:30 AM. Fun times in my house today!

Aw, happy birthday to your great aunt & happy anniversary to your grand-
parents.

How about making your own cards?

You might be able to pick up a pack of blank cards in your area then
write your own sentiment.

What did I learn? That kindness is actually appreciated! Makes me smile
and warms my heart.

I went shopping for cards today too - and after looking at the prices of some of those cards, I learned that me and my husband and my son are going to spend a little time tomorrow morning MAKING our mothers/grandmothers Mothers' Day cards!!

Congrats to aunt and grandparents on hitting those beautiful milestones! :-)

I learned how to build a bamboo bundle nest for solitary bees. I built one and installed it in our yard. Help for the pollinators of the world! They are struggling due to all the pesticides and monoculture lawns and farm fields.

Congrats to your g-g aunt! Wow.

That the restaurant we've been dying to try has the worst "homestyle" chocolate shakes ever. Yuck.

That regardless of how adorable a three year old is when she is refusing to nap, I am still unable to smile because of how frustrated I am at the wasted hour and a half we could have been doing something fun, had I known.

Happy Mother's Day weekend to all you moms (and yours) out there! :)

i learned the school district I work for does not have any money so we will have a "payless payday" more than likely.

Not a fun thing to learn.

I learned that staying home while your floors are being done with tile can be boring... I ran out of projects and ran out of rooms to organize and clean, so now I am reading posts on mamapedia. I miss my outings and lunch with friends. LOL

if you have a Cracker Barrel ... they have cards with the years on it.
