1. Sofas that appear a dark moss green in the fluorescent light at the furniture store may arrive at your house brown. It's a good thing that it's a nice brown, and it goes perfectly with my curtains or it would be going back to Loren's!
2. Prednisone makes me bitchy, puffy, twitchy, and able to gain 5 pounds in 2 days. Boo!
3. Kids who you think will flake out on you at the most inopportune time for a meet, will. Double and triple Boo! I thought I was going to have a mental breakdown when 2 of my 8 team members decided to just skip our meet (and then have the gall to go to school the second half of the day when they were so "sick" that morning). We only had one understudy, so we had to poach from another organization on the fly. It was not pretty. I rewarded the kids with ice cream after it was all done for being so willing to step up to the plate.
4. If my 6th hour students arrive to class in a good mood, class will go well. If they arrive in a pissy mood, class will not go well. I wish that I could have lots of candy in class to bribe them with. Darn new healthy food laws!
5. The color on the box is not always the color your hair will turn. One would think that with as many years of coloring experience, I'd have remembered that when it comes to choosing a good shade of red. Now I'm more of a purply red. There's always next month!
