Last week, I was having a rough day...my three month old is starting to teethe. She had been fussy and irritable all day, and around 3:00 I put her in the stroller to take her out for a walk (as this usually calms her down). I happened to look in our fish tank while I was digging around for my keys, and I couldn't find our crawdad. He'd been in there when I went to bed at 1:00am the night before, but he was nowhere to be found in the tank now. Great. My day just got worse. Now there's a six-inch crawdad somewhere in my house, and I have no idea where. And hour and a half or so later, I found him -- still alive, though clearly in distress -- in the fireplace. I scooped him up with my net thing, rinsed him off in the kitchen sink (so I wasn't putting soot and dirt and ash back into the tank), and dropped him back in. He didn't move for almost an hour. Finally he crawled back into his normal hiding spot, and although he has moved since then, he's been very listless and lethargic. Too bad I can't buy a new crawdad on Amazon.

I passed out and as I was falling a corner shelf we had promptly fell on top of me. So there I lay and my 3 daughters ran through the entire house and and destroyed what ever they could get there hands on. I couldn't get this thing off me and I kept getting sick (you know) and I was there at least 2 hours before my husband made it home from work. The mess those girls made was horrible and it took a long time to get everything back in place. Thank you for the giveaway!

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry along with you!! Although both my kids are older, one incident pops out with my oldest. I had gone to Wal-Mart and bought bubble bath. And you know how they come in the ginormous bottles? Well, dumb me set the bottle on the stairs to go up to the bathroom, and walked away! I don't know how she did it, but she got the bottle open and poured EVERYWHERE! Do you know how HARD it is to get bubble bath out of carpet???!!! Great giveaway! Thanks for offering it! ~Tanya the4moyers(at)msn(dot)com Oh.My.Word! I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry along with you!!

None of them would wake up because they sleep like the dead and had to wake up my brother in law to pick the lock. Next that day, my mom drug me to the city to help her with back to school shopping and find a wardrobe for fall for her. I couldn't even try things on myself because the baby decided to fall asleep in the sling the whole time and I didn't want to wake her. My mom then proceeded to drag me to Costco and we notice I was leaking fluid out of my vehicle and all the shops are closed because it's a Sunday! Then my husband finally comes home and wonders where I'm at and gives me a lecture on how to check everything under the hood. I did manage to make it safely home to where my husband didn't get enough time to get me a present or cake and all day my son would argue that it wasn't my birthday. The greatest birthday of my life!

I can't imagine having all of that happen in one day for sure! I don't have anything that comes to mind that can even compete with that. About a week ago though, I was at Lowe's with my 6 yo boy and almost 3 yo girl (who is potty trained but doesn't always tell me that she needs to go). I was waiting at the front for a specially ordered laminate floor and they were sitting on the little bench right by the doors. Kristopher started telling me very loudly that Taylor was peeing - so everyone could hear. Of course the bench was slatted so it went through onto the floor. And I didn't have any clothes inside with me the bathroom is at the back of the store and the oldest wouldn't quit talking abot the incident. We've actually had a few of these now at big stores. I'm trying to figure out why she won't tell me some of the time - since it is so embarassing to me. She is oblivious! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

But the funniest thing I've ever seen was when my niece was born her daddy was changing her diaper. Well he took the old dipaer out from under her and then proceded to start cleaning her off. See the problem with this picture. Of course she wasn't done yet. She sharted pooping again and silly man that he was he stuck his hand under her to catch it instead of putting a clean diaper. He started yelling for my sister to come help and all she and I could do was lean up agains the wall and laugh our butts lol. scrtsbpal (at) yahoo (dot) com as a mother of two boys I’ve had my share of poop and vomit stories.

They ran through the usual preliminaries, and this was before everyone used ear- or forehead-thermometers. They used the rectal, and as soon as the nurse inserted it, baby pooped right up the thermometer and all up the nurse's arm! It was incredibly embarrasing.
