A Tattoo is Worth 1000 Apologies

I told a dear friend today that I am thinking about getting tattoos. I need one that says, "Thank you" and one that says "I'm sorry." Then, I can just point. She pointed out that I might be taking things too personally, and she is absolutely right. I don't always need to apologize for my special needs kiddo, or to feel as though certain accommodations equal gigantic favors. I should, and do, appreciate all the goodness that comes our way, but if I ever feel like I'm needing to grovel or gush, maybe that is in my head. My friend is a wise woman. It just made me laugh, though, to realize that if I had those tattoos, I would have pointed at both of them at the end of our conversation!Good thing I'm afraid of needles.

Get temporary ones. I have discovered they can last for weeks. They are also far cheaper, and do not require needles.

Gayle, this made me laugh out loud today! I've wondered about getting "Yes" and "No" tattooed so I couldsimply point to them with Nik. Only problem is he can't read yet...
