      Oh dear. If it makes you feel better mine dumped a pack of fruit punch mix on the ground yesterday. The puppy decided to help. My son had red hands and the puppy red paws. :-)

      I had one that did this regularly. Our fridge had a lock for awhile.

      I've started looking at refrigerator locks. This isn't the first food incident :P Thanks for the salt tip!

      I may have to hide mine. It usually disappears into the boys' room never to be seen again!

    "Mom, can I do more math?"

    Searching through Google works so much better!

  12. melbotoast

    What to add to my RR order?

    Walked over to our neighborhood pool only to discover that it is closed due to fecal contamination. Awesome. It's 100 degrees outside.

      We've had an "outbreak" of kids throwing up into the pool thus closing it for periods of time. It makes me never want to swim in a public pool again.

      My kids pick up a stomach bug at the start of every pool season it seems. I'm scared to go back :/ My DD just threw up the other day at home and I fear the next kid will do it in the pool. My pool has tight rules and lots of testing, but it doesn't seem to matter.

      Wow, I am feeling lucky that my kids haven't ever gotten sick! Better to be hot!

  17. melbotoast

    I mopped! (Yes, that's an accomplishment.)

    DS, while eating crackers: My throat hurts really bad when I eat, but if I don't eat I'll die :D
