Life Lessons and other things...

Sometimes I wonder if God deliberately puts situations in our path to ensure that we learn a lesson.... My lesson: I am really bad a delegation. (no, really. bad. bad. bad.)

So my husband and I fell into two free nights in Orlando. Here's the catch: it had to be THIS Thursday and Friday. My first thought was: well, that stinks. I can't do that. I have to sort and deliver vegetables on Friday. And then I began to sulk. no, really. sulk. sulk. sulk. And then my DH looked at me and said, "can't you delegate this to someone?" And so I thought. (insert Winnie the Pooh melody here...) think.think.think. (Ok, enough with the Pooh.) Who could I delegate this to? More importantly, should I really be chained to being here EVERY Friday to make sure that veggies can go out? What happens if one of my kids gets sick? What happens if I get sick? What happens if there is an emergency? and so on (Anyone ever read "Very Worried Walrus?")

And then I started thinking about the fact that no one could ever do the veggie sorting as well as I do. and then I started laughing. It's vegetables for goodness sake..... it's not rocket science. What's the worst thing that happens? Someone doesn't get as many plums as they ordered and gets an extra mushroom. No one is going to die. No one is going to get angry (hopefully). So, with that being said, I am delegating. (I woke up in the middle of the night with cold sweats about my delegation...) but I am delegating. Yup. I am.

That being said:
