Seven things I learned this week...because I thought I could think of ten but I couldn't.

As I sit here taking a few minutes to chill out from a loud and tiring day, I thought I would share some of the things I have learned this week about my family, school, and my understanding that football is more than a game.
1. Giving a French roll to Xander while we eat so he can chew on and entertain himself with was a great idea- thanks Alison and Dave!
2. Children can be incredibly sweet and kind one minute and then mean and spiteful the next. What goes on in their heads?
3. If everyone continues their lives thinking "someone else will do it" then nothing important will ever get done. Take responsibility for things!
4. I have never felt proud or willing to talk about going to church, but I really feel inspired to say that I love going to mecklenburg community church. I love hearing the message. I am never bored. I never have time to think about anything else I could be or should be doing. I feel like I am finally able to hear sermons that actually have meaning and relevance in my life. I love how I feel inspired to do better because I should and not because I feel guilty. I love that pastor Jim makes us feel welcome, even though we have never personally met him. If you need somewhere to go to feel this way too, you should come and visit. It is located at the lowes YMCA on Sundays at 9:30 or 10:45. Wear jeans or you will stick out like a sore thumb the first time.
5. I already knew this, but consignment sale shopping is awesome and now I love the way Xander will be dressed all summer!
6. I do have some, not much, will power to avoid junk food or extra calories. Today at Walgreens I saw super peanut butter lovers Reese's cups. Like extra thick so there is a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio just for me. And they were on sale. I didn't buy them but I committed the package to my memory.
7. I am happy to see my pal Peyton Manning get accepted by a new team and i decided I will follow and be a Broncos fan. At least they have orange in their team colors. I mean, it would seem unnatural for anyone to cheer against him. I wish Tim Tebow the best where ever he ends up and I hope to see Peyton Manning lead a team back to glory in the very near future.
What did you learn this week?
