The more I read about your days, the more I realize that life without kids actually has strikingly similar moments. My unglorious moment of the day was using nail polish remover to try to get tape residue off some glass in a frame. I tipped over the nail polish remover onto a wood table. Then had to try to reverse what the nail polish remover did to the wood table. Not so successful. I'm going to pass out in a book now!
