Karma

I called my friend Andrea this weekend and we had way too much fun talking on the phone, so her son made her pay by pouring baby shampoo all over the floor, so as proof of karma, my daughter paid me back on Andrea's behalf this morning. I sat down to nurse Max at 10:30 this morning and Hailey decided that this was when she needed to be in the kitchen, so after unlatching and latching Max back on about 3 times (by the way, he was not happy about being interrupted), I get Hailey in time out and give her the evil eye to stay. It did not work, but Max was almost done, so I didn't get up the last time and listened carefully in case I heard climbing sounds. We do have a gate between the kitchen and the family room, but it is the third one that Hailey has broken/figured out. It was eerily quiet except for what may have been soft thuds, and it was only a minute and a half max. I then learned that the soft thuds I did hear were all 10 eggs I had just bought to make her birthday cake, hitting my floor. I saved 2, but of course I need 3, but I enjoy the fact that my first thought upon seeing the mess was "I should take a picture for my blog." Unfortunately I couldn't find the camera and Hailey wanted to play in it and she had a date with the time-out chair, so no pics, but I promise to keep my camera handy for the next disaster. By the way, Andrea, if this isn't good enough, she also poured all the dog food and water on the floor a mere 10 minutes later while I was making lunch. :)
