April Lessons

Today I will share some lessons the first day of April taught me. These are not lessons I asked to be taught nor do I ever wish to have to take a refresher course in them.

1: Pencil DOES eventually come off of a wall with soap, water, and elbow grease.

2: I do not have time to clean 5 walls consecutively.

3: Crayon does NOT come off the walls as eaisily but google has a lot of suggestions on remedying this problem should it happen to you.

4: I do not have the energy to attempt to remove crayon from rubbermaid containers.

5: Children forget lessons they have learned in the early afternoon by late afternoon.

6: Crayon comes out of upholstery fabric with a brown paper bag, iron, and Resolve carpet cleaner.

7: Hairspray makes a nice shiny stain on walls that does NOT clean up with soap, water, and elbow grease. Even if the grease is from delinquent child.

8: Sharpie comes off of hardwood with rubbing alcohol. Thank you again to my good friend Google. (This lesson was actually learned in late March but whose checking?)

9: When children are quiet, it's not always a good thing.

10: Anger trumps all desire to photograph.

Here's to lessons learned and to being the mother of 3 children who deserve some jail time. Some more that others..........but jail time nonetheless.
