My List

Wednesday, October 22, 2008
My friend Nicole posts a "Works for me Wednesday" message every Wednesday about things that work for her, tips, etc. Well, in her honor I'm going to post things that I've learned today that DON'T work:
  1. Don't try to fold laundry during the day. Two hours and 27 interruptions later it got folded. I'll be keeping that an after bedtime task.
  2. Don't allow children to play with sidewalk chalk with mittens on. It doesn't just brush off fleece and now the mittens are fit for Rainbow Brite.
  3. Don't feed Cole Biter biscuits for real this time. He will break out in a red rash due to milk content.
  4. Don't store metal racks under oven. It will cause oven to short out causing it to not light leading to a service call and a payment of $88.60 because of metal cookie racks. Seriously.
  5. Don't promise you'll put new batteries in a toy until you know what kind it takes and are SURE you have a supply of them.
  6. Don't get dressed for the day and expect to stay clean longer than 10 minutes. Doesn't work for me.

Hey sis! I'm guessing this has been a "trying" day!! Your list was very educational. Do I seriously need to take out all my racks/pans from my lower oven drawer?? Hey - $88 is tons cheaper than a new stove!

Of course, I didn't do a "Works for me Wednesday" today!

I got a good laugh out of this! I especially loved #5 and 6.
