20 Things I Learned In 2014

It has been one full year since I shared or wrote on my Blog... unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way. I have missed writing. I have missed my time at the computer and the click, click, click sound my fingers make on the keyboard. I have decided to sum up 2014 and get back to where I belong. 

                            

20 Things I Learned In 2014

      

1. Teachers do not always build up their students but sometimes they tear them down.  Thank goodness the world is filled with mostly amazing teachers who are found to inspire their classrooms more often than not.

  

2. You can take a second honeymoon with your husband and children and have a better time than the first time around.

     

      

         3. It is important to travel with all asthma medication, or any needed medication, and a good friend.

      

      4.  A Holiday is special with 5 people or 50 people.

      

5. The right school for your child may be down the street even though you looked miles and miles away from home, including out of state.

      

6. When something is really important to your child…life changing important…they will let you know.

      

7. Be an advocate for your own health. Doctors are great, brilliant and a necessity but you know your body the best.

      

8. An emergency room visit goes quicker when you arrive by ambulance whatever the emergency is.

      

9. You can crack a car windshield when your feet are resting on it…really not kidding about this.

       

10. It is never easy letting go of your kids…in any circumstance.

      

11.  Don’t become attached to your daughter’s boyfriends or their families…easy come easy go.

      

12. Sometimes you can’t go back home.

13. Anyone can say anything about you, at any moment, true or not.

14. Good friends…Best Friends can be people you have not met yet even at middle age. #havenladieslove

       

       

15. There is sadness in the house when the kids stop believing in Santa Claus.

       

16. Sixteen is to young to drive a car or forty-four is too old to be a passenger in a car driven by a sixteen year old.

      

17. You can’t stop your kids from growing or getting older just like you can’t stop gray hair from growing. You just need to practice acceptance, or have a really good therapist, or a really good hairdresser…and maybe all of the above.

      

           

         

18. What was important in 2014 may be different in 2015.

19. Just because you don’t understand the language, terminology or lingo that teenagers are using today does not mean that using Urban Dictionary to understand them is a good idea.

      

 20. I still love my husband, kids, family, friends, dogs, horses and yes that little frog in the kitchen too, because in the end LOVE is really all there is.
