I believe you should never stop learning.
However, some things learned are more monumental than others...
Things I learned this week:
My 15 year old can eat a whole frozen Trader Joe's pizza by himself. Along with a protein/fruit smoothie. I really need to cook two at a time if I, or my husband, hope to eat any.
It really weirds me out to see the nerdy guy from high school make sexual innuendo jokes on facebook toward another gal from high school. Eww.
I can actually workout for more than 30 minutes on the treadmill without dropping dead from boredom! I learned to do ladder climbs and intervals and to rely heavily on my iPod instead of the boring tv - all things that break up the monotony of watching the lights move around the little track on the control board. This will suffice until the weather clears up.
When I have emails, tweets, facebook posts, texts and ESPN baseball updates all coming to my cell phone, it makes for a lot of phone chirping. A lot.
The Seattle Mariners are NOT off to a good start. $#%^&*@#$%!!!!!!
Teaching a 15 year old to do laundry is not as scary as it seems. As long as you stand there and make sure he does it right.
Sometimes it's just better to say what's on your mind and get your point across. For instance, when someone screws your schedule up, it's better to just say, "This doesn't work for me and you need to fix it." Who knew it would actually work?
Friends ROCK! Plans made with the girls tonight. Plans made with another couple in two weeks. Blog friends leave awesome comments (Thanks blog friends!). Text friends crack me up. AND... LELA IS IN TOWN!!!!!!! And we are spending the day together today! (Pics and stories coming soon!!!)
Have a FABULOUS weekend - and never stop learning! Even the mundane things :-)

All these things sound super! Have a happy Friday and a fabulous weekend!!!
Awesome.
Can you believe how much these darn kids eat?!?!?! It's nuts!
15 year olds can eat..A LOT. My 17 year old brother came to live with us and it was amazing the amount of food the kid went through. Scares me for when Babe is older!
Have fun!
Laundry is easy. Like anything else, he will get the hang of it. I'm actually doing several loads right now.
Yup, teenage boys do have an appetite. I know.
But at least you have our Cliff Lee.
I've learned to just throw the food at them, or risk losing fingers. And thanks for the line about your chirping phone - it reinforces the reasons I DON'T have texting or 'net service on mine!
Enjoy your weekend with Lela!
