Mom Mishaps

Okay, I have a quick 15 min to kick out a post.

1 - Tore apart my living room, painted it chocolate brown. It's lovely...but... I bought up some floating shelves to put up and they don't fit snug against my wall. So, I wood glued them to the wall and put my first knick knack on them and they leaned off the wall again. Photos to come and if you have any advice for floating shelves, it's probably too late, ya know, cause of all that wood glue and stuff.

2- Friends are out for a surprise visit so I planned to take them to the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. I ran to the library to pick up the free pass, then came home and had the kids all ready to go, lunch packed, my camera in the car and I glanced down at the hours on the museum and it stared back at me in deviance saying "Closed on Mondays." What! Don't worry we ended up going to the Peabody.

3- (This one is my Personal Favorite.) This week was my turn to send out postcards for the Swap and I didn't do it until the absolute last minute. Monday night at 8:30 I ran to Walgreens and picked up 51 postcards. They didn't have 51 all the same so I actually have about 4 different cards that went out... then I ran to Staples and picked up some sticker paper thinking that would be the easiest to put my facts and labels on. I'm running through the door as the manager is yelling at me about closing in 10 min. So I grab the sticker paper, run home and make my labels. I open the paper and realize that it isn't sticker paper at all. It's window cling printer paper! So I print out my labels on the regular paper and gluestick it to my 51 postcards. GLUESTICK! Hope everyone gets my postcards with all their labels attached.
