When a Pepsi can freezes solid inside a hotel refrigerator and explodes at 2 a.m., it sounds like a gun shot and has enough force to actually blow the fridge door open. (Scared me to death, too.)<\/p>\n<p>2. If you tire out your kids enough, they can actually sleep through a pop can exploding inside a hotel room fridge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3. Megan is fearless. (Okay I already knew this one, but it got reinforced when she was jumping (wearing a floatie thing) into the hotel pool, without holding anyone&#8217;s hands. Crazy girl!)<\/p>\n<p>4. When I don&#8217;t have internet for 3 days, I get lots of housework done.<\/p>\n<p>5. AT&amp;T has great customer service, once you get past the robo-operator. Robo-dude kept telling me to restart my computer when we actually had a broken wire in the outside AT&amp;T box. So yeah, not helpful!<\/p>\n<p>6. Assuming that one day we will get past it, I think I will look back on potty training in the same way I look back on junior high. Long frustrating years I&#8217;m so glad I&#8217;ll never have to do again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>7. It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you actually like or understand a particular sport&#8230;when you watch it during the Olympics, you can&#8217;t help but be excited and cheer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>8. I despise primetime coverage of the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>9. When my kids throw fits over stupid little things&#8230;it looks a lot like what happens when I throw a fit over a stupid little thing. Go figure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>10. Our internet was down since Tuesday, and a friend\/neighbor moved away this week. And I have been very lonely. I had no idea how much I relied on those two resources for connection and support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>11. My body is not going to hold up as well with this pregnancy as it did with the previous two. I was really hurting yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>12. Listening to my kids say their ABC verses to me (and to each other) is one of the sweetest things ever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>13. &#8220;His divine power has provided all I need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him&#8230;&#8221; &#8212; in other words, &#8220;The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need&#8221; (NLT).&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
