I told my husband that it might be a week or two before I get near a stove, so if It doesn't fit on a sandwich, I am not making it.

LOL......

I dont' think it would take near that long to be safe.......but hey...if he buys it, good on you.

So i called poison control for the third time in 3 years i am truely a terrible parent. This morning while i tried to go to the bathroom my thing 1 got a hold of some bugspray that apparently fell off the high shelf in the closet and dumped it on thing 2s head . I suddenly hear thing 2 screaming pick her up smell some chemical and stick her head under the sink. Thing 2 is fine, if they were going to choose something to get into the family safe bugspray was not the worst thing. Now i need to figure out a way to drive home the seriousness the situation to a 3 year old.... beyond the screaming and yelling and getting her hiney swatted

You are not horrible or terrible or anything awful.
I still wonder how I survived parents who thought dusting the house with chlordane and seven dust was safer than having roaches.
Turpentine was medicine, and bleach will take care of anything.
You are a good healthy mom.

"Screaming, yelling, and swatting her hiney" should work. Always worked on me, and just look at how I turned out.

I went with hard labor. She must clean and scrub the kitchen until she does no tv. The yelling and screaming has not seemed to get through yet (it was always water or soap before)

Loud never worked.
But a whisper...
It scared the daylights out of him.
He had to listen close to hear, and the less I said - the wider the eyes.
The fear is in the not knowing.

Ask any kid - quiet anger is terrifying. Loud blows itself out because it is mostly bluster, but quiet and controlled means business. I still remember something - not my child - really getting my goat, my head came up, my kid saw the look on my face, and he said, "uh, oh. Time to head for the hills!" He didn't know what 'it' was, but he knew it was coming, and even though he knew it wasn't aimed at him, he didn't even want to be a witness to it.

I call that my 'Krakatoa' face.
The explosion heard around the world.

Well everyone seems bright and chipper this morning.  Hey, Boots, welcome to the coffee lovers morning starting point.  'Boots' are a good idea when walking or dancing naked - so I've been told. 

Good morning sour. I think it is too early for the naked dancing

Maybe sour was offering to demonstrate?!
