Once a teacher, always a teacher. Therefore, I am passing along some life lessons I learned just this morning.
1. It is not a good idea to try and wash your face & brush your teeth when you are half-asleep. And for the record, Crest toothpaste is very difficult to wash off once you've rubbed it in really well (but my it sure does tingle!) and Neutrogena face-wash tastes awful.
2. Although its always commendable to try and get a head-start on the household chores, you might want to turn the kitchen light on when putting in a load of laundry. That way, if you've made the mistake of storing the laundry detergent (in a bright yellow box) right next to the cat litter (in a bright yellow box) you have less chance of mixing the two up.
3. Cats prefer to eat cat food, not Corn Flakes. And all the milk and sugar in the world will not improve the taste of Purina Cat Chow.
4. Never play vigourously with an infant or toddler after you've gotten dressed for the day. They have a tendency to spew like Old Faithful.
5. When you have lots of similar shoes, always check to make sure they match before you leave. Really take a good look at navy and black. In dim light, they look VERY similar.
6. Check your shirt, too. If you can see the tag, its inside-out.
All this learned just today. I can't wait to see what happens when the kids get here.
