Isn't what I thought

I had this great idea of putting a little bench in our front hall closet and putting up a shelf and hooks in our front hall for all the kids coats and backpacks that frequently annoy me, especially in the winter. I went to get all the wood I would need and came home and painted it all. I was so proud of myself for getting all that done in one day. So today I started screwing wood into the walls and then things went horribly wrong. The piece of wood I measured for the bench wasn't the right size. It was all my fault! So annoying. Then the shelf and hooks I wanted to put up for the kids stuff didn't work out either. Thinking I was hitting studs I put huge screws in 3 places. Nope, not in the studs. Shelf is wobbly and I am more annoyed. Then I think, okay well while it's up I'll put the hooks into the wood. Well  the top of the hooks hit the top of the shelf, thus making it impossible for anyone to hang anything on it. I scrap the shelf idea and think I'll just put the hooks I bought straight into the wall. I use those plastic things your supposed to use before you put screws in the wall, but they just kept braking and not working. Just then Jay calls me about something from work and I complain about all the problems that are happening with this project and he promptly tells me in the calmest voice ever to "just stop, put everything down and just stop". I'm laughing and am grateful that he's so calm about it, because I was getting very frustrated. I packed everything up and just left the stupid too small bench and shelf that didn't screw into studs and the hooks half in the wall with holes everywhere. I really thought I was more crafty than that. I guess I need to plan things out a little better than I did. I really like to just think about something, do it, and get it all done as quick as possible. Definitely one of my weaknesses is impatience. Well when it's done (meaning when Jay fixes all my mistakes) I'll have to put pictures up. In the mean time here are some ideas I took from for my inspiration.
