I'll have to try that!

Now, if I could just slow the rate of destruction within these walls...and *upon* them! J.D. has created a veritable art gallery in my foyer. The most recent casualty was my dictionary, which he took an orange marker to. Also, my flylady timer. It still works, it just doesn't stand up straight anymore. I never knew how much I would sacrifice in personal property when I had children. 'Course, that's stuff, and they are priceless.
