Tip of the day: Emergency Adhesive

Pretend you are having a bad day and find yourself in a MacGyverish position.

Let's say you're locked in a building with a bomb that's about to explode or stranded in a deep crevice facing a deadly avalanche.

Possibly, you're trapped in a 3 bedroom house, with three boys, sleep deprived and out of coffee..... wait, that's my reality.

We're supposed to be pretending, remember?

Anyway, you're in a sticky situation, whatever it may be and you need some type of adhesive. You have no tape and no glue of any kind.

What do you use?

Rice Krispies.

I have discovered that Rice Krispies + milk = super glue.

It's true.

Try it.

Or better yet, give your kids Rice Krispies for breakfast and don't clean up after them for about 30 minutes or so.

A new mascot

I love this Cat. I saw him the other day and quickly added him to my computer. He's my new mascot.

Do you think I could have a t-shirt made with him on it?

A bumper sticker?

A flag flown proudly outside my home?

Maybe just a coffee cup.

I think the reason I like him so much is that he so appropriately expresses my feelings on a plethora of subjects.

Me as a homeschooling mom

Gray hair

Potty training

Housework

Fat-free mayonnaise

Dieting

I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.

Angry kitty will be visiting the Pettis blog often in the future.
