Never a Dull Day.... =)

Rarely can I say that I don't learn something new on a daily basis. Today was no exception! Here are a few recent musings.
Did you know....
1. you can go from homeless and living in a shelter to homeless and not in a shelter in less than 5 hours?
2. the police really don't like it when you lie to them and seriously call you out on it in their very official "we have special training in spotting liars" kindda way? Scary!
3. some people can make excuses until it gives everyone else a headache?
4. if you catch someone skipping school they may respond with an emphatic tantrum in front of others when you return them?
5. some systems of agencies are slower than the old Heinz keptchup commercials advertised?
6. humor is a great stress reliever to handling obstinately quiet teenage rebels?
7. emails are a huge blessing when trying to communicate to several people official details of events in a prompt manner?
8. some people are really being blessed by churches in our community?
9. the bedroom is not really warmer if you lie in bed an extra 10 minutes?
10. you can shovel snow and not be able to walk down your sidewalk 30 minutes later?
11. you can make burritos on the quesadilla maker and they taste great!
12. Lance and I occasionally pray the exact opposite? He wants snow tomorrow and I don't. He doesn't want school tomorrow and I don't want to miss work and not see a family officially reunited permanently.
13. sign in logs make great accountability and some people's jobs easier?
14. I will probably learn just as much and more at my job tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that as I did today?!

Some additions...

9. This is true. However, adding an extra blanket to the three you are already using is helpful! :)

10. Indeed! And... When your roommate gets home at 1030 pm that same night, she would not have even known you shoveled had she not already shoveled two other driveways earlier and see them in the same condition.

11 Good to know!! :)

12. I am with Lance on this one. I am really scared about it being way too icy to safely drive tomorrow. Though, I love knowing that you are a part of the family being reunited!!!!

Tell the Lance to stop praying for snow! *good grief charlie brown*

Looks like you're learning lots...those days can be painful. Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend.
