Hot Stock Tip!

Ya ya ya, Easter is long over. So is a trip to the zoo, the tulip festival, reptile museum, the beach, Mother's Day, and a raging 30th birthday party for yours truly! I admit I am behind but, not without good excuse of course! I will get to all the fun soon but first, here is what has been keeping me occupied...

Let's just say I have an investing tip for you all. Buy up stock in Procter and Gamble, cause it's goin' up. I am single-handedly supporting this fine company with my purchases of the Magic Eraser. And I am NOT happy about it!

These are just a few shots from the many daily messes I have been cleaning

The lotion incident- all over couch, carpet, chair, trunk, TV, and boy

The plant hazard- this happens often; boy gets bar stool, boy pulls bar stool over to counter, boy climbs up on counter, boy retrieves large cup, boy takes cup to mom's new plant and scoops dirt all over the floor and self. The juice incident- boy figures out how to open fridge, finds 2 (not one, TWO) pitchers of juice and proceeds to dump both out all over the floor. But, not without walking as close to the carpet as possible as to leak off hard wood into carpet. (And we rarely have 1 let alone 2 pitchers of juice in the fridge, just this time of course!) One of the many marker incidents. Boy loves to find markers, pens, pencils; whatever writing utensil his sister has left out and proceed to run up and down the huge hall coloring on the walls. This time mom was on the phone looking something up on the computer and left him alone for a whole 6 min (GASP!) so he continued to color on the doors, cabinets, dad's lap top, and floor.

I kid you not, I feel like all I do is clean up after this boy. He knows when I am distracted and he is FAST! I promise I keep an eye on him but really, I do have to answer the phone or go to the bathroom from time to time. It's pretty bad, I have gone without a shower before in fear of what he might do while I am in there. Our house is like a stinkin' fortress too. There are locks, bungee cords, rope, and gates everywhere. I am about to give up! And this isn't all of it! Not pictured; the other three marker vs. wall incidents, the kitchen flood of '09, painting with condiments, the list goes on. I feel like I have to follow him everywhere. This makes it difficult to get much done. The other day I was SO frustrated with him that I almost took his car seat out of the car and buckled him in it in front of the TV. I never actually did it but I sure did fantasize about it! And do you know what the worst part of it is? He does all of this with such a sweet little smile on his cute little face. And to top it all off, he ALWAYS asks me, "mommy happy?" When I tell him no he then sweetly says, "I sody mommy... now you happy?" Seriously, how could you say no?
And just FYI, he woke up from his nap as I was finishing this post. It took me about 45. min to finish the last paragraph because he 1- climbed on the counter and tried to get himself water 2- found the lotion up in one of the cupboards and decided his feet were dry 3- after I bungee corded the stools together he went to his good ol default of pestering his sister as she trys to read. He is currently in time out... AGAIN!
