Now I get it.
I was all set to write this post about my issues with my Hanes tagless shirt, but first I have to ask: Should I really have to tell my daughter more than once not to like the walls of her bedroom?
Seriously, this is the four year old I'm talking about. Jamie takes a rest every day, about 30 minutes where she is supposed to be lying in bed, "resting," and then another hour that she can read, play with the toys that are in there, or play her Leapster, which I take to her when I tell her she can get out of bed.
Yesterday, she was jumping on her bed and messing with the dresser drawers when I went in there. I made sure to remind her, very clearly, that she is supposed to be quiet, calm, and in bed til I open the door when I put her down today. And she was a gem, until I walked in and saw the big wet spot on the wall about three feet over her pillow.
And this was not the first time.
I used to wonder how kids managed to get lead poisoning from paint.

Hi, saw your post on Finslippy and, as a fellow readership-challenged blogger, I thought I would check out your blog and be a new reader for you! I am enjoying reading it. I was reading some of your older posts and came across the one about remembering who you wanted to be. I like that idea. I have a quotation on a piece of paper stuck to my office cabinet from George Eliot:
"It's never too late to be who you might have been."
Thought you'd appreciate the quote! That whole post about the narrowing of people's choices and specialties was very interesting and as I remember from my long-ago perusal of Eliot's "Middlemarch," was something she had writen about as well.
If you get a chance, come on over to my blog - http://Mauigirlsmeanderings.blogspot.com.
I also have a medical one called Medicana. It's linked to my regular blog.
