I don't know coop. It went by so slow when we were young and so fast when we get old. I'm beginning to think its an exponential equation and not a linear one. My oldest turned 12 this year and I remember her saying dada for the first time like it was yesterday.

I learned after 5 kids it still chokes me up when they achieve their own milestones.

I didn't technically learn this today, but on the topic of kids, I learned real quick that the best way to end an argument with friends or family when they start to question (at times fervently) the fact that we've chosen to have just one child is to simply say "We got it right the first time."

Snarky, yes. Effective? Absolutely.

(And that's nothing against those with multiple kids, just that I despise it when someone I know tries to tell me what's best for my own family.)

I get the same thing but on the opposite end coop. I get all the, do you have cable, you know what causes that, etc. But the thing that irritates me the most is when people find out we have 5 girls they will ask are you still trying for that boy and things like that, right in front of my kids! I usually tell them we're trying for another girl and that shuts them up.

I learned that I beatched so much with Sony Canada that they are sending me a way bill to return a camera I took in for service & when they called to say its ready I get there they say that'll be $90.00 WHAT we can't service it for warrenty as its damaged WHAT so someone there did something and they're trying to stick it to me NO WAY btw it wasn't a Sony service center but a local company they are stuck with here on the Island so I am hoping they get it to me by Christmas.

I learned that if I take a can of Pepsi out of the soda fridge and set it out in my office right before I go home for lunch, it will be at just the right temperature for optimal consumption when I get back to work.

So... I'm guessin' those Duggars haven't got it right yet?

Today I learned... not a dang thing. So I guess I learned it's possible to not learn anything. But that means I learned something. And now my head will explode from logic bombing.

I learned that someone broke into our daycare provider's house early yesterday morning. Not exactly the most comforting nugget of information…
