Well, I have not been successful at blogging. Big surprise. However, I have found a few moments today.
Rachel is away at camp...ahhh, or so I thought. As I was attempting to clean, I found orange pop spilled on the carpet in the family room and discretely hidden by some DVD cases. Any ideas who did that? Little miss camper. Let me tell you, orange pop does not come OUT at all. I worked for 6 hours on it before Dave got home. I knew he would go psycho so I wanted to make it go away. I was not successful. Dave now has a week to think of a long and painful punishment for Rachel.
As I was cleaning that mess, Will comes in from outside.....NAKED. He is holding his shoe saying it has poop on it. I assumed it was dog poop, but he informed me it was his poop. He thought it would be ok to go potty in the woods. Said woods is full of poison ivy. In my nice, calm screaming psycho Mommy voice, I managed to convince him to get in the bathtub. I scrubbed him down with alcohol (he didn't like that) and lathered him up with about a half of bar of soap. After he was clean and dressed he was given a bag to go retrieve his clothes and other shoe from the poop infested woods. More alcohol was then applied to his body. I am happy to say he does not have poison ivy!
Dave laughed when I told him about Will's adventure, but his demeanor sure did change when he saw the carpet. I am still working on it.
