Every day is a lesson in life, whether we want it or not!

"Good judgment is learning from your mistakes,
which are usually caused by bad judgment"


Sunday - When you see Christmas chocolates on sale for 50% off, don't buy a box to take to friday's card game night, because it won't last that long in your house, even if you hide it in your desk drawer.

Monday - When your child loses his coat in school and can't find it for weeks, remind him to check the gym.

Tuesday - when shovelling snow, if there's a sudden wind, stop shovelling and wait for it to pass.....do NOT, under any circumstances, throw the shovel load into the wind.

Wednesday - You can't hang shelves with only two hands.

Thursday - When the overnight snowfall is 10 cm, and your teenager refuses to wear boots, don't even bother shovelling a path for him to the car while you are waiting for it to warm up, he doesn't care if he has wet feet for the rest of the day and doesn't care if you care that he has wet feet; he would rather you didn't care that he has wet feet.

Can't wait to see what I learn next!

    Your post has me chuckling, this is so true about life lessons. I tried on Tuesday to hang a double curtain rod by myself... need I say more? lol

    And what I'd like to know is how do kids KNOW where to find the hidden chocolate? Do they have some type of extra sense of smell or something? I remember when I was young that we never dared get into a single thing without asking... this changing world keeps us all on our toes and learning life lessons on a daily basis for sure!

    So true!

    Thanks for coming by -- I fear I've been a bad visitor lately, given travel in December and this week, holidays and getting sick. But back in business now and looking forward getting on a regular schedule.

    Thanks for coming by -- this post totally cracks me up!

    Life's lessons are definitely valuable, if only to help you keep everything in perspective. I have a memory of a discussion with my own son which was frighteningly close to your Thursday lesson. I also remember swallowing "I told you so" - a mother's memories are dear:):)

    hi there! nice to meet a fellow BC blogger :)

    funny story but i found your blog through your comment on someone else's blog, about a medical transcription term (sciatal lung = CA of the lung).

    Have you finished the course? Curious how it's going for you in the MT field?
