Things I have learned already this morning...

#1. If you forget to put pellets in the stove at night, your house will be very cold when you get up.

#2. When you don't turn on the light in the laundry room before you walk in to put the dogs out, chances are you will slip on a dog toy. Yep, a tennis ball. Ouch!

#3. If you forget to change the batteries in your smoke detectors at the first of the year, one close to your bedroom will beep all night.

#4. You can put too much bleach in a load of dirty dog blankets.

#5. When you go to bed and your house is dirty, it will be dirty in the morning. Believing in the tooth fairy is one thing; a house-cleaning fairy is just crazy!

#6. When you fold laundry at 9:30pm and leave it on the couch to put away the next day, it will still be there in the morning.

#7. When you have a pregnant dog, she will have very stinky toots!!!!!!

#8. When you go out to feed chickens and see if there are any eggs yet this morning, big grouchy momma chicken will peck your hand and hiss at you if you get near her nesting box!

#9. When your son tells you that he can go out to the bus by himself and he doesn't need you to walk with him, don't call your husband at work, crying, to tell him you are sad because your child is growing up. It will freak out husband and they don't like to be freaked out first thing in the morning!!!

#10. It is going to be a loooooonnnnnngggggg day!!!!!!
