Things I've learned recently:
1. Husbands do not understand the indescribable value of getting two, TWO purses for $11. Yes, I was told, "Do NOT spend any more money this week. We are broke." But E.L.E.V.E.N. dollars. For TWO purses. And my happiness. Can you PUT a price on that?
2. An entire bottle of Mr. Bubble does not make NEARLY as many bubbles as one thinks it would when flushed down a toilet. G and L were responsible, but I admit I was a little disappointed with the results. While I never had the balls to actually try that as a child...my children? They do.
3. Calamine lotion is REALLY hard to clean out of a medicine dropper.
4. "Baby-Proof" does NOT equal "Toddler-Proof".
5. Ceiling fans can take quite a beating and not fall down.
6. Given enough sugar and coffee, I can pull an oversized, solid wood toy chest up two flights of stairs all by myself.
7. Soap operas can totally make you a more well-rounded person. I've picked up quite a bit of sign language from watching the "Devon-is-deaf-because-of-a-bout-of-meningitis" storyline on Young and the Restless.
8. Blue Poptart filling can be removed from the carpet. Cat puke stains and hair dye cannot.
9. According to a four year old, hairspray can definitely double as air freshener. Now excuse me while I unstick myself from the carpet.
10. Gray, rainy days are no longer for curling up with coffee and a book (or many recorded television shows, in my case). Rainy day + two small children = I better invest in some rain boots and heavy coats, STAT.

All I can say is you crack me up. You had me laughing outloud, especially at the 'excuse me while I unstick myself from the carpet' comment! Kids....KIDS!!! Gotta love em!
You tell the husband that $11 for 2 purses is a hell of a deal! You can hardly buy two pairs of socks for that price!
Dude! $11 = Hell Yeah!!! I love me some Young and the Restless, but I have to watch it on the Soap channel after work.
You are so right. Who can pass up TWO purses for $11? We should shop together!!
On the rainy day coat thing...I feel it sister. I'm thinking possible for the winter, parkas and boots, and my new exercise routine including dragging a sled packed with two children and heavy blankets all over town.
I'll have to try that Mr. Bubble thing while the kids nap. HA!
Now why can't we keep that creativity we have as kids? My husband used to play the game "Can we flush it?" when he was little. Let's not get your kids and my husband together!
$11? Where do you shop! You bet that was great! And just think, this way there is more room in your purses for more kid junk!
I missed you!
2 purses for $11+Mom being happy totally=priceless!
I must say that sucks that the bubble didn't produce b/c you telling the clean up story would have been hilarious.
Husbands will never understand.
Not sure how I even ended up here but noticed several things in your profile I can relate to...I love Carmex, frapps, Walmart, I'm a retired teachaear, I am obsessive about

Your children are younger than my grandchildren.
I enjoyed your post and just wanted to say I'll be back.
Is that a line in a movie?
You girls crack me up. Always good to have the bloggers on MY side!
And swampwitch, I'm glad you're here!
