Things I've Learned This Week

1. Tuesday nights kids eat free at McAllister's.

2. Wednesday nights kids eat free at The 'Q Shack.

3. Having a nail file in the car is handy. At stop lights, I can file my nails.

4. No matter how many times Roy goes on long trips, I still cry when he tells me goodbye:(

5. Mom was right when she used to tell us, "You girls treat me like dirt, but you'll do anything for your Daddy!". Sorry, Mom. You were right and it's coming back to bite me.

6. I feel GREAT after I run on the treadmill. Now I just have to remind myself how great I will feel every day as I dilly-dally on the way to use it.

7. I think I'm ready for Spring.

I totally agree with #6. I have to make myself get up and get going or else I'll think of an excuse all day long until it's too late.

I'm almost ready for Spring too except I still want one BIG snow!

Donna, after 11 years of marriage, and many business trips, I cry like a baby when Todd goes. Only now, I have Madde crying with me! Hopefully he will be home soon and oh is it a HAPPY DAY!

That's great information on the kids free nights!! I too think I'm ready for Spring ... for more reasons than one! :)

Good to know about McCallister's! We like to go there.

Jennifer said...

Good things to know. Our McAlisters let kids eat free EVERY night...not a bad deal.

Am I a bad wife that I don't mind my husband being away for a couple of nights and I get the TV all to myself??? :)

What's a treadmill?

Donna said...

Jennifer, that's not fair about McAllisters! I guess they're all different.

I have to admit, I do like having a few nights to myself, but I HATE when he leaves and we have to say goodbye:(

Nancy said...

um, No Jennifer you are not bad for liking a little TV to yourself (every once in a while).

Can't have a reunion if they don't leave!! I'll leave it at that.

Glenda said...

Donna, thanks for your comments today and tips on where kids can eat for free. I hope Roy's trip is going well and that the time apart passes quickly.

Did you watch GMA this morning (sorry Good Morning America). There is now "coupon parties" it totally made me think of you!

Kristi Smalley said...

Jane, you have to expound, what do you mean??????

I feel bad that Mike has traveled for over ten years and it is no big deal anymore. Maybe, I should pretend I was getting emotional from time to time.
