What a way to start a day

Just so you know. Accidentally using cat shampoo while you are washing your hair is NOT a great way to start your day.

At least I won't have problems with hairballs.

You Know There's A Toddler Somewhere

As the (sometimes) proud mother of a 2.5 year old son, I've discovered some rather interesting insights into the world of parenting.

You know you've got a toddler in your house when.....

• You find the cat shampooed with apple sauce.
  

• You have to dig interesting objects out of the VCR or DVD.

• You know EXACTLY what will flush and what won't.

• You have Poison Control on speed dial, and when you call in they recognize your name (yes, I speak from experience).

• When your child attaches to a stuffed toy, you buy back-ups.

• Bedtime is a traumatic event.

• You ask adults if they need to "go potty."

• You can sing the words to "Dora the Explorer" from memory.

• You consider an emergency run to Wal-Mart just to buy a pacifier.

• You no longer eat out because you fear the wrath of the other diners.

• Babysitters shun your neighborhood.

• You've ever been so tired after a sleepless night that you used cat shampoo on your hair.
