And it's only 9:00

TGIF! No really. Not that I'll get to sleep in tomorrow ( I agreed to babysit) but at least I don't have to get up quite so early.

It's been a busy morning already...what with the usual morning school rush, but there was an added bonus today. I'll spare the gory details, but it involved a dirty pull up and a 3 year old who hasn't learned to wipe well. Needless to say, there was quite a mess in the bathroom. So a load of towels and a bottle of bleach/water later and at least the bathroom is clean. Which brings us to our second trauma of the day.

Rather than use store bought cleaners, I find for most things a bleach/water or a vinegar/water combo work well. This morning's previous event needed disenfecting, so I chose the bleach. And got a lesson in NEVER LEAVING THINGS WHERE KIDS CAN REACH THEM! I left the spray bottle on the kitchen table. And next thing I know the E (who is 3) is spraying it. She says it didn't get in her eyes, but I didn't want to take the chance and flushed them with water anyway. There's no redness or other symptoms now so either she was right or I got it all out. But I'll have to watch her like a hawk for the rest of the day just to be sure.

So now I have a load of clean towels to fold. And it's not even 9:30!

Hey there, it's Jam/Jamaica/Momma Moe/Triple A Mom from the boards! You started a blog - terrific! I'm going to add you to my blogroll and about kids and spray bottles? Yeah, I had me a couple of "helpers" last night myself. What a mess!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the support Jam! E's eyes are fine. So it must've missed them thank God.

OMGosh!! I'm glad her eyes are good...Did she hit anything else with the bleach that changed colors on you anywhere in the house?

Thankfully, it never left the kitchen table and I don't think she got it to spray really well because there wasn't any on her shirt or anything.
