What I Learned This Week~May 7th

May 7, 2013 1 Comment
What I Learned This Week On Making Our Life Matter
What I Learned This Week has always been a favorite blog meme. Reading some of Julie’s entries has always brought a smile to my face. Each week I think that there isn’t anything I could have possibly learned that is worth blogging about. Or sometimes it seems like I learn the same stuff over and over and over again. Sometimes I feel like I am doing nothing but complaining, and who wants to read that, right? But then I think, maybe someone out there understands or is going through the same thing. So, without further discussion, here is what I learned this week:

 

  • I learned this week that I love when hubby and I have date nights.  It really makes me feel so connected to my hubby when we have date nights.  Lately we have been able to see and do new things, and it makes it even more special.
  • I also learned this week that I am still waiting impatiently for Spring. We have had bits and glimmers, but I am so ready for warm days and warm evenings.  I have yet to see an fireflies.
  • I learned this week that I can’t wait for the deck to be completed so I can sit outside with a glass of wine(or two). Even if it’s 40 degrees and raining.
  • I may have learned this week that waiting for baseball season has been an exercise in patience as well. And that I love being team Mom. And having such great friends.
  • I learned this week that I really have many blessings in my life, and that I am completely grateful for them.
  • I learned this week that May is our busiest month.  And it’s only been the first week.

 


I learned a few things along the way this week, some new, some the same old same old. How about you? Join in the fun to see what others are doing and to make new blog friends. For more WILTW, please visit Julie at From Inmates to Playdates!

So, without further discussion, here is what I learned this week:

 

  • I learned this week that I have limited patience when waiting on the deck people. They called last week and said there is a 4-5 week back order on the color we wanted. The weather is nice now.  We have time to sit outside and enjoy it now. Did I mention I want it now?
  • I also learned this week that it is all in the timing. God has a plan for our life, and we need to accept that.  This week, after a two-year wait-and-see, we finally got our new car.  Lots of research and planning went into this purchase, and for once my hubby did something for himself and got what he wanted.  Loved the look on his face when he climbed into the driver’s seat.
  • I learned this week that I can’t wait for the deck to be completed so I can sit outside with a glass of wine(or two). Even if it’s 40 degrees and raining.

Good things come to those that wait........but I still hate waiting!

So, without further discussion, here is what I learned this week:

 

  • I learned this week that Spring really is my favorite time of year.  The weather has started getting really nice, and it has really helped with my bad attitude.
  • I also learned this week that waiting for the deck is an exercise in extreme patience.  On the upside, the permit guy and the contractor were here today, so as soon as all the materials come in, they can get started.
  • I learned this week that the first thing I am going to do when the deck is completed is sit outside with a glass of wine. Even if it’s 40 degrees and raining.
  • I may have learned this week that waiting for baseball season is an exercise in patience as well.
  • I learned this week that I really have many blessings in my life, and that I am completely grateful for them.

So, without further discussion, here is what I learned this week:

 

  • I learned this week that I just can’t deal with the cold weather anymore.  I am tired of having to wear a heavy coat, and have gloves in my pocket.
  • I also learned this week that slightly warmer weather does wreak havoc on my allergies.  But I switched the time that I take my allergy, and that seems to help.
  • I learned this week that a home improvement project can make parents into little kids!  We come home from work each day, hoping that there is a message from Lowe’s saying all the materials are in, and they can start installation.
  • I may have learned this week that patience is a virtue when it comes to Spring.  The signs are starting to show that Spring is on its way, and tapping my foot is not going to make it get here earlier.
  • I learned this week that looking at old Spring photos is not the same as it actually being Spring.  It is a start, but a tease as well.
