Can't a girl getta shower 'round here?
I stay home one day a week to clean and catch up on house stuff. The other 6 days are filled with activities, errands etc...but I allow myself a day to just get up, stay in PJs and clean. Since I just pop out of bed and start cleaning, it's pointless to shower first thing, so I usually wait till the Buggernut is down for a nap. Today, however, I felt particularly nasty after scuubbing floors on my hands and knees and cleaning bathrooms. So, I decided to set the Nut up with a coloring book and crayons and take a 5 minute shower. *5* Minutes. That's all I was gone. In 5 minutes, all but 3 windows in the house...which she can't reach...were covered in blue crayon. But, not JUST the windows...the windowsills, the walls next to the windows, one blind slat, and her desk. I didn't know whether or not to be more upset about the people that gift my 2 year old child faux-Crayola non-washable crayons, or me for actually not just throwing out the faux-Crayola non-washable crayons and instead putting them in the crayon bin, or the Nut for choosing that particular faux-Crayola non-washable crayon to color all over the place. Needless to say, after an hour long date with Mr. Clean and his Magic Eraser (read: chemical filled miracle worker), the crayon was gone and all the faux-Crayola non-washable crayons were in the trash. And now, a plea on behalf of all the parents of young children in America....PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ADAM spend the extra 20 cents and buy the kid real Crayola washable crayons!Labels: Buggernut
