Tile floors are unforgiving to all things, including heavy jars filled with delicious, sticky, thick homemade buttermilk syrup.
Kids get sick around holidays, it doesn't matter which holiday.
Kids get sick when company is scheduled to come, it doesn't matter who.
Fevers will go away just long enough for you to get your hopes up, then quickly resurface just in time for bed.
School pictures will fall on the week that your child/children are sick.
It's ok to send your sick kid to school for school pictures, as long as you take them back home again afterwards. (You have to get the pictures taken, you've already paid for them and you have to document something when you never scrapbook...)
Chickens are smelly, even when they're only a couple of months old.
11 chickens in a garage is really smelly.
Husbands are wonderful things, for many reasons. Mine may be the best one yet.
Being without a husband for even a night makes you appreciate them a lot more.
Sugar cookies, pie crusts, and any food that you have to roll out are a serious pain to make.
Sugar cookies really are worth the effort in making them when they make your kids smile really big.
They don't make a big enough container of Clorox wipes, Kleenex tissues, or applesauce, but you can buy Claritin in 150 pill bottles.
Applesauce is yummy when it's homemade, but it saves no time and no money.
Buying the kind of Halloween candy you don't like makes it much easier to keep the candy around for a week before Halloween.
Hiding the candy from your husband also helps.
Your hands will never be the same after carving three pumpkins in one hour. They will be stained orange and the pumpkin slime takes at least 20 washes before it actually comes off.
Living in West Texas may be isolating, but it's warm here...no snow before Halloween and rarely afterwards. You don't get that living elsewhere, say, like Utah.

I totally hid the candy I bought from Mike. Oh and paying $15 for candy makes me want to vomit! You?
Your positively spot-on! Sounds like you're going the rounds with sick kids as well, sorry!! WE should really call each other at 2 a.m.....deal? Have a great day!
You have 11 chicks?!? one was smelly enough! Are you raising some for other people or are you guys keeping them all. Bet you can't wait til they are big enough to stick outside!
You are hilarious! I feel like I'm reading about part of my week too...my fingers are orange, I've eaten a whole bag of Halloween candy, and I was hating rolling out a million sugar cookies for the youth to decorate last night!
11 chickens? Are you raising chickens? Wow, I'm impressed!
Sorry about the sick kids part. Sounds like you need a dinner brought in, eh?
Wow, that's a lot to learn in a week!
You are so funny! I love the boy vampires and the pretty girls.
Oooh, buttermilk syrup....my favorite! I could drink that stuff straight from the jar/bowl/pan. Did you try licking it off the floor? It might have gotten rid of that last layer.
And what's up with the chickens? Has Martha Stewart convinced you that fresh eggs are really the only way to go? B/c honestly, how good can even the best egg get?
