The beginning...

Well, as a stay at home mom there are alot of things that go on in my life. I try to write them down in my "mom journal" but don't always seem to get it done. I'm hoping that if I have it in an online journal to share with family then I will write down more.

For today's adventure, on top of having a sick child, and no sleep last night, we had a run in with some vick's vapo rub...After putting it on Makenzie last night I forgot to put it back where Nick can't reach it. Since I hadn't had much sleep; I fell asleep on the couch while Nick was watching a cartoon. I woke up 30min later to discover the entire house smelling like menthol. Nick thought it was his sculpting wax for his hair and had used the remainder of the jar in his hair. I knew that with this being oil based that it would be hard to get out. I tried to clump it up with some baking soda. That didn't work. Then I tried to use a lice comb to get it out. It worked pretty well, but he wouldn't sit still very long. I then went to Dawn. That worked well until I ran out. So on top of having a smelly house, oily kid & bathtub, we still have a greasy head of hair. Who knows how many washings it will take to get it all out.
