My lessons learned this weekend
Lesson #1: No matter how many times I sand my skin with 180 grit sandpaper it will not be smoother.
Lesson #2: No matter how many times I've checked the shower today for rogue razors, CHECK AGAIN.
Lesson #3: Plan to stain furniture before the 3 year old wakes up. If this is not possible, don't invite the 3 year old to be your big helper.
Lesson #4: Just because one might have spent the last 10 years making every effort to not speak ill of the children's other parent, from whom you are divorced, doesn't mean said other parent has afforded one the same respect. Suddenly one finds oneself 10 years behind in a battle that wasn't obviously being fought.
Lesson #5: When your heart is broken, Mommy can always help.
Lesson #6: Wood can be very forgiving.
Lesson #7: Very dark stain is a poor wood-worker's best friend.
Lesson #8: Regardless of what you THINK you're going to Costco for, it's not what you're going to come home with. It might be amongst the $500 worth of stuff you buy, but by the time you've gotten home you lost sight of whatever it was because of the shock of having spent so damn much on stuff you had no idea you even wanted.

I think someone else needs to learn lesson2!
So are nikolai's nails still a nice red color ;)
Man, it sucks to be the better person and try to treat someone with respect even when they don't deserve it.
We were just talking to our neighbor how impossible it is to get out of costco for under 300 :D
Hello Dear!
well as I have said before it is hard to be the better person and mark my words "All in due time, anyone who dose wrong be gets 3 fold!" And just think you will be there to watch the great (and never) graceful fall! It is painful now but patience my Dear):
did you get the picture I sent?
brandy, i did get the picture, and will blog it soon.
amber, i think you may be right about lesson 2.
and you're both right about being the better person...but why does doing the right thing suck so much?!
