Pure Irony, a Mouse (or so we thought) and a conversation with POISON control

Isn't it ironic that I have been sick since TUESDAY...with the worst body aches, fever, sore (or should I say..RAW) throat, cough, sinus pressure, stuffy nose...etc, counting down the hours, minutes and seconds until my hubby comes home from work. Still having to cook meals, clean messes, change diapers, wash dishes, do laundry, help with homework, wipe away tears, break-up fights, wait for the exterminator and sit on the phone with poison control...yes, poison control. And Kevin gets sick today? FRIDAY! Just in time for the weekend. To rest, relax and recover!! Oh, the irony of being a mom.

The mouse (or so we thought)...So, a mouse got in the house and we set some traps for it. But after a few days it was still here making itself comfortable in our home(not ideal). It was somehow able to claw it's way off of the sticky traps we left for him (don't use the ones from Home Depot). So, we called an exterminator to come over and have at it. We found out it is coming in from outside from under the sink. So we traped it last night and Kev had to dispose of not one but TWO mice! Real nice.

The dreaded call to Poison Control...the morning started off nice. I sent Kev and Kali off to work & school (on time), made breakfast for the little ones and put on Baby Mozart to try and steal a couple of minutes to brush my teeth, try and unclog my nose and tame my hair. That's when I heard it...the cry for help. It was Tymorie and she doesn't cry. I knew something was wrong. I ran downstairs only to find Tyler standing on a chair in front of her highchair with a bottle of 409 in hand. He was trying to "clean" her up! I screamed loud enough to make him stop spraying the bottle in her FACE, grabbed the baby and flushed her eyes out in the sink. Raced to bath tub to rinse her in there and dialed poison control. Thanks to GOD..she and Tyler (although that required some serious prayer) are just fine. I shouldn't have left them alone. GOD was truly watching out for her because after only 15 minutes under running water her eyes were good and she had no complaints of an upset tummy. I learned a really scary lesson that morning.

Thanks for listening to me rant!
