Office Work, Part Deux: Professional Mayhen

I get the worst parent of the day award for today.

I was working on my MPC emails and Jacob comes to me crying. His eyes are red and he has red crumbs on his face and hands. What could he possibly have gotten into? I look closer at the crumbs and think I see a pepper seed. Oh no! Walk in the kitchen and sure enough Crushed Red Pepper flakes everywhere - my poor baby!

It must've fallen off my spice rack and he popped it open. I washed his hands and face and gave him some Gatorade. Poor baby.

That doesnt make you a bad mom. It makes him this much[-------------] smarter.

That is wicked looking! I'm impressed!

At first I thought you were going to crack open the Emu egg for the top of the cake. Now I get it.

Good way of looking at it!

I didn't think the 4th baby would be able to do much to surprise me, but I was wrong...croup, red pepper flakes and he was the only one who figured out how to use a walker.

The redness is going down and I'm feeding him some uber-sweet cinnamon buns I made this morning. Hopefully that will help.

Lemon juice his skin. It breaks down the pepper oil and will keep flare ups from happening when he rubs his eyes and stuff.
