As I was buckling M. into his car seat after he spent the day with his babysitter, I kissed him on the forehead and told him that I had missed him. He looked at me and said, "Poor Mommy."

i could have been an interrogator in the Bush administration
I think I just waterboarded my son.
He broke open one of those stupid glow-in-the-dark necklaces which you snap to activate the glowing goop inside. Then he rubbed his eye and the screaming began. After I rang poison control, the guy said we have to put him in the tub with warm water and for 15 - 20 minutes, pour warm water over the bridge of his nose to wash the oily substance from his eyes. If he were to rub his eyes, he could scratch his cornea.
My kid screams when he gets his hair washed. This time he screamed bloody murder.
Aaron held him while I poured the water over him, sometimes just pouring it over his whole head when he wouldn't hold still long enough. When we finally let him get out of the tub, he told me that he didn't like me. Poor kid. An hour later poison control called back to check on him and by then, he was doing much better. His eyes were a little red from all the foreign liquid he had in his eye, but he didn't seem to be bothered by his eyes any longer. I just hope that we got all of it out and that he is still okay come tomorrow morning.

happy halloween
Let me tell you about our day...
M. woke up and couldn't open his eyes
then screamed when I gave him eye drops (which did help)
I am bleeding again...always a great discovery when you
are finishing up the first trimester of pregnancy.
How many times can a kid spill his yogurt? I've found evidence of it
just about everywhere today.
When M. finally went down for a nap I decided to get in the shower (I am not going to tell you how long ago my last shower was, but my mom did ask if I was planning on going as a hobo for Halloween). Our house has a boiler system to run the radiant heat and hot water. Apparently it broke because there was no hot water.
M. stuffed so much food in his mouth at dinner that he threw up (he had to eat all of his dinner before he could go trick-or-treating) which I caught in my hands. I am surprised that didn't make me puke.
While trick-or-treating, M. told a neighbor that he is big.
$170 later, the broken ignition system is fixed on the boiler and I can take a shower (and maybe wash some dishes). It is already 9 PM and definitely past my bedtime.
Happy Halloween!
