Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned (continued)


 
If I could teach one thing well to my child it would be: Contentment.

My children have taught me: how infinite my heart is. I never knew that I could love so much.

Subjects I wish I took more seriously in school: Foreign language … Wait, have you seen the gameshow Are you smarter than a 5th grader? Apparently, I should have taken every subject more seriously.

Chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry?: Chocolate.

Public, private, or charter?: Public (can't afford private).

Lessons learned …: Don't lie to your spouse.  Don't lie to your kids.  They can see right through you.
