I'm Off

I am going to start my day with a trip to Office Max for free stuff. You gotta love being a teacher and getting free office supplies!! Then I will be heading to Kohls to return the entryway shoe bench that I ordered online. I thought it would be the perfect solution for the foyer. It is small enough that it won't block the flow. It has a spot for holding shoes so that they aren't always on the rug. And we can sit on it to take shoes off and put shoes on. That is after all what benches are for, right. Wrong! Not this one apparently. I got it all assembled and then thoroughly read the directions. (Isn't that the right way to assemble furniture?) Here is what I read: "Not intended to be used as a seat. Each shelf holds 100 pounds evenly distributed." What? To me a bench is something to sit on. Guess that I have been wrong all of these years. Needless to say, it is going back. Then I will be going in to school see if I can actually get some work done today. Wish me luck!!
