The events that all occurred in one day last week (some within just an hour), have been a good reminder that children and pets are not to be left unattended.
- Three out of our three potty trained kids had accidents (one was suffering from the green-apple-quick-step).
- The dog escaped and ran away.
- To show her gratitude for tracking her down in the snow and bringing her home to a bowl of kibble and a warm bed by the fire, the dog vomited in the middle of the living room floor... while we had company... and just after we had all finished our supper and were getting ready to serve desert.
- A son decided to shampoo his dry hair while fully clothed. It was not a planned bath night.
Quite frankly, I don't remember exactly what happened after that. I think we just kind of went numb. But I can tell you that the house is still standing, the company we had over that night are still talking to us (okay, so they were family, but still...), and we all seem to be more or less functional.
Check with me again next week though, just in case.
