Monday Night Thoughts

- Even short overnighters to a summer basketball event can be perfect getaways when you don't have any kids with you (of your own. There will actually be a LOT of kids around at a summer basketball event, but if you don't have to feed or house them it totally doesn't count!)

- It's great to show self-control when out grocery shopping by not buying the gourmet chocolate chips you love to snack on so much, but oh so sad when 9pm rolls around and you just need a little something sweet and have NO CHOCOLATE CHIPS.

SO SAD.

- Daughters who get their braces removed after having them on since the beginning of junior high (two summers ago) look dangerously older...and prettier... immediately!

(Thus concludes Monday night thoughts.)
