Everything Shatters

How's THAT for a dramatic title?

No, it's not an angst-filled teenage love song, or a poem scrawled on the back of the shop building behind the school. What I'm talking about is...tile floors.

Yes, they look awesome. Yes, they're super easy to clean. But boy can you not drop one single breakable thing, or else - yep, it shatters. And with little kids (and a mother who's been described as klutzy on more than one occasion)? Things break a lot. A lot a lot.

A Twilight glass was the first casualty of the new floors. Then the ferret ceramic pepper shaker. And most recently, as of five minutes ago? The Precious Moments angel my inlaws gave Megan for her birthday eight days ago. Thankfully the angel didn't shatter so much as break into several large pieces, so it's an easy fix with some Super Glue.

Perhaps it's time to invest in some rugs.
