What Happens to You...

I just spent a pleasant and fun five days in WA visiting my sister and her family with our mother and my daughter.  I discovered I don't want to be a single Mom (though I wouldn't mind having my nieces around all the time).  I don't know how single moms or mothers whose hubbies travel alot do it. 

I discovered I need to reduce the clutter in my house.  My sister's house is nice and uncluttered (except for her mantle) and it makes for a much more peaceful house.  I'm debating parking my car outside and using half of the garage for storage.

I discovered my nieces are great kids (actually I knew this already).  One is quiet and a reader.  The other is bubbly and a talker.  They are both smart and considerate and they both have a great sense of humor. 

I discovered that you can't go a mile in WA without passing a coffee place.

I discovered that I miss grass and trees, which there aren't a whole lot of in NM.

I discovered that if you take a toddler on a plane, the extra seat is worth the money. And bring a stroller.

  WA was definitely green! So very lush! It made me miss clean air. I forget how smoggy it is here until I go to a place like that where you can actually see that green is green and not some washed out murky color. :-) ---Robbie

  It was discovery week.  I discovered I'm very glad my kids aren't 2 anymore.  LOL
