What I learned in August!

I have been reading Emily's blog for a long time!  I think I found it years ago when they did the bloggy giveaway carnival.  I am pretty sure I won a DVD set (Growing Pains Season One) from her.  Had I known how famous she would be one day, I totally would have kept it for life.  Instead I'm pretty sure I sold it in a garage sale for 50 cents!  Anyways, she has been doing a link party for "What I learned" in the last month.  And this is my first time to link up!

So without further ado, here is what I learned in August

1. Half an hour makes a big difference!
~After the first full week of school, we got a call from a new bus driver taking over our bus route.  She said she would be picking up the boys 30 minutes earlier in the morning.  I thought no big deal.  Boy was I wrong!  Every day we have to get up earlier, and over the course of the week, we are missing 2.5 hours of sleep.  We are all so tired.

2.  Having a 7th grade boy has made me very popular!
~I have Jr. High girls following me on Instagram.  I have Jr. High girls come up and have conversations with me.  I have Jr. High girls who really like my 7th grader!  

3.  We are a SPICY family!
~3 rowdy boys.  One loud mom.  And a husband you can hear across a football field.  Enough said.

I cannot wait to see what September holds!
