I saw as someone’s facebook status update that they would post daily about what they are thankful for since this is month of Thanksgiving and all. I’ve decided to start my blog posts this month with things I am thankful for. Today’s thankfulness is also sort of a PSA:
I am thankful that hairspray will remove black permanent marker from linoleum.
The permanent marker incident did not involve either of the kids (surprise)! I used the marker for like TEN SECONDS to label a freezer bag. I promptly put the cap back on after using it and put it back in the mug that I use to hold pens and pencils. Somehow ink got on the heel of my foot and I had tracked about a dozen black dots around the kitchen floor. I do not know how that happened. The pen was nowhere near my foot and I checked the pen for leaks or drips – none!
I am in the midst of doing lots of packing (moving in three weeks!) and am paranoid each time I pick up the marker to label a box, and check the soles of my feet each time after I use it. I guess maybe I too, should only be allowed to use the kids’ washable markers…

Do you know if hairspray will take permanent marker off walls? Kendall got a couple pm’s that Justin left out & wrote on Justin’s bedroom walls. :sigh:
