Sometimes I wonder

Did you ever have an idea that you thought was a good one, but turns out that while executing your idea you decided that it wasn't such a good idea and what they heck were you thinking??!!!

I had one of those moments this last week. Iolana has a dolphin wind up statue. The top section is broken as you can see, so I thought I would fix it with super glue. Good idea right?? .... Bad idea.

The super glue ran down the side and as I pushed the top section down I was actually gluing my finger as well. I tried to get it off but it was stuck. I had to resort to scissors to cut my way through. Luckily I didn't have to cut much of the rubber/foam, or my skin, to get free. I didn't get a picture of my finger stuck but you can see where my finger was stuck. Sometimes I wonder how much of my senses I am loosing now that I'm home all day with my kids! :)

Okay, so I am excited to try the crumpets. But first I need a buscuit shaper or something... I use cups to cut mine! How could you glue yourself?!?! I guess the sob excuse is that you are indeed a stay-at-home mom right now.

We are back from a long summer break. School takes off in a couple of weeks.

I've had some adventures repairing broken toys for our kids, using super glue. If only childrens' toys were not so fragile! It can cause such hurt to them when something breaks! Sometimes I believe the consumer conspiracy theory that they want us to break things so that they have to be replaced. Nowadays it's rubber gloves to use super glue.
