I am living it up in the midwest! I am married to Chuck and we have one child, Charlie, who is 2. That's right! Charlie is 2 and I am going crazy. I watch my little sisters, 7 and 3.

I'm blind!

I was sitting on the couch almost two weeks ago (playing sudoku, of course) and charlie walks up spraying something. I heard it but I didn't hear it. Does that make sense? I'm so used to us playing with spray bottles that it didn't occur to me that it was a bad noise to be heard in the house. Well before I can put two and two together, he is right in front of me and sprays the insecticide right in my eyes. I grabbed it from him and ran to bathroom, rinsed a few minutes, took out my contacts, rinsed a little more, and then called poison control. Of course I'm home alone! I had to rinse my eyes for ten more minutes and ended up having to go to the ER later and the eye doctor a couple days after that. They are getting better. I had chemical conjunctivitis or something like that. Thank goodness I had the contacts in, I guess, covering my corneas!As for how charlie got pesticides, they were in a box we hadn't unpacked. While i was rinsing my eyes i heard foam being sprayed and he had bathroom cleaner, too. I'm so glad that nothing more serious happened. I didn't think it was any big deal that we hadn't unpacked all the boxes in the dining room. I thought by being marked kitchen, it wasn't things that came from under the kitchen sink. Ugh, I get sick thinking of what could've happened. Anyway, that's my insecticide story. My child tried to blind me

Sticky

MIL had charlie recently. She was down in her basement with him. She had her back to him while she was on the internet. He was taking stuff up the stairs and then throwing it under them so it would roll down the boards underneath and then he'd go to bottom, retrieve things, and do it again. Well, he got quiet and she asked him what he was doing. He didn't answer so she turned around. He was looking intently at his finger and occassionally poking it. She asked him what was wrong. "Sticky" he said. She wasn't sure if he had an owie so she asked and he said no, just "sticky". So she asked what he had gotten into. He told her "sticky". So he came and gave it to her. She squished it and smelled it and couldn't tell what it was. She asked him, "Charlie! Where did you get this?" He then stuck his finger up his nose.Well!It was sticky!

I made it just for you!

I was getting in the shower and charlie was throwing a fit because he wanted one, too. I stripped him down even though I had JUST dressed him after his shower with chuck. I already had my glasses off and I'm super blind but it didn't matter because after two years I can undress him blindfolded. I threw him out with his towel while I dried and yelled for chuck to come get him. Charlie hunkered down on the rug while we waited. Chuck came in and charlie handed him something. Chuck had it for a few seconds and then declared "sick!" I asked what it was and he said he thinks it was poop. To which charlie said, "yeah!"Nasty baby. He's so giving, though.
