Well, I've started the sorting. Picking out the one color of bugles was
easy. But the 14 colors of seeds are going to take a while. A long while. Glad you were all amused! At least it wasn't all over the house. Mainly in one spot. And I even vacuumed and salveged (sp) those beads! Can't stand bead soup but thanks for the suggestion. If it wasn't the only purples I had I probably wouldn't worry about it. At least they're different enough to sort (no close colors) Just time consuming. Didn't even beat the boy (though the thought did run through my head) Just yelled at him. I think he even tried to tell me he was sorry. Can't wait till I have this next/last kid so I won't be so tired (HAW! Like that's gonna happen) In about 16+ years maybe! Thanks for the support. Later, Helen C |
And people always asked *why* I never had any kids.... =:-o

Later, Helen C look at it this way..when he's old enough to start dating, you can embarrass him in front of every girl he brings home by saying "you know, when he was three years old, he liked to play with beads. there was this one time he dumped a bunch on the carpet, and then peed all over my desk!" -amber. who informs every boyfriend that my older sister has had, does have, and ever will have about the time she laughed so hard at dinner she blew rice out her nose. |
Oh Helen. It is funny, as long as it isn't happening to me. Kinda glad
I don't have kids when things like this happen. Peed on the desk??? Lara Hopefully someone will get a chuckle out of this. Looking back, I probably will. And if it had happened to anyone else I'd probably be a little amused. Oh, my aching neck!! Helen C |
Yep, potty training. Think he got too "busy" having fun on Mommy's desk and
didn't realize he had to go. Oh Well. It could have been worse (a deposit instead. on important papers or something. Or on the beads he dumped) All I know is my neck hurts today and as best as I can estimate by the bead I've done, I'm about 1/10th done with the sorting. Have a feeling they're gonna stay this way for a while (sort as I need them) But I did make some neat chain and bead earring today (are jump rings normally so stubborn? I swear I wrestled with one for 1/2 hr) Later, Helen C |
LOL! this reminded me of a stunt that almost ended my son's life at
about 11 months of age. July in Minnesota, hotter than heck, stuck in horrendous bumper-to-bumper traffic on a major freeway. Michael is in the back seat in his baby seat, and I am driving my new Ford Escort. Have to turn the AC off, because we are overheating sitting in traffic. I am hot, late, irritable, and just generally not in a good mood. Michael has been babbling in the back seat, and I was generally tuning him out (bad mom, but it was one more stressor i didn't need, and he was happy to talk to the radio.) Well, just as I get to the point of being waved arround the accident by the State patrol, and trying to avoid hitting the rubber-neckers, I hear from the back seat PEE! and feel something hot and wet hit the back of my head! I slammed on the brakes and spun arround (thereby spreading the liquid to the front side of my head as well). Michael was sitting in the seat, diaper off, waving it around like a flag, giggling and peeing a great fountain of joy. I swear the kid must have been holding it for days. The ceiling, the windows, all 4 seats, the floor, ME, all got a liberal sprinkling. I started to laugh hysterically. When the State trooper knocked on my window to yell at me, I could barely get the window down I was laughing so hard. He is threatening me with a ticket (for obstruction... I'm stopped in the only lane open to pass by the accident) and then accusing me of being under the influence. I couldn't stop laughing long enough to explain. Finally I pointed to Michael, who was sitting there, happily smiling in his semi-nude state [typical male] and invited the officer to sniff the interior of my car. Well, when HE stopped laughing, he waved me on, and warned me to take the next exit and get a diaper on the kid before he does it again. Bead-wise..... last summer dog and child were racing in the livingroom. despite various warnings to stop, they plowed into over a dozen open divider cases full of small beads, findings, crystals, and pearls. It looked like the after effects of a rainbow explosion in my living room. I gathered them all op in a big shallow box lid, pulled out a stack of little bags and told my son to start sorting. It took him several weeks, but he did finally finish. They now avoid my beading area..... (Lara) wrote in message . com... Oh Helen. It is funny, as long as it isn't happening to me.

My daughter once woke up from a nap, found Mommy's Vaseline, and emptied
the contents all over herself and my bed. Vaseline, in case you've ever wondered, does not easily come out of sheets... My son, in a similar incident, once found the tub of Crisco at my best friend's house while she was on the phone... yeah. That was interesting! -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Barbara Otterson wrote: On Tue, 20 Apr 2004 00:34:40 GMT, "Helen C" wrote: Well this family almost lost it's youngest (soon to be 3 year old if he makes it that far) son. Home alone with them while DH was helping a friend. Fell asleep (oops on my part) Woke up and noticed kids were in my bedroom (where my beading/etc desk is) and the youngest had opened all of my purple seed beads (well, almost all), emptied them out on the carpeted floor AND peed on my desk (fortunately it was reasonably clean) Lucky for him I was able to control myself and let him live Reminds me of the time my sister fell asleep. When she woke up she found my niece sitting in a puddle on the bathroom floor. The puddle consisted of all the shampoo the little tyke could reach, plus all the baby oil and baby powder. She had also found 3 or 4 tubes of lipstick and drawn all over herself, the walls and floor with them. Wanna guess how many gallons of water it took to remove all that gunk? How well I remember the trials and tribulations of a toddler with boundless energy and an exhausted mother..... so glad mine are in their 20s now.....

snort Maybe it's because your friends are too polite to ask a question
that is totally none of their business? -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Dr. Sooz wrote: And people always asked *why* I never had any kids.... =:-o Arondelle No one has ever asked me that, and I'll be 50 this year.

You could always sell it as a custom mix on eBay and buy all new purple
seeds beads... :) -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Helen C wrote: Well, I've started the sorting. Picking out the one color of bugles was easy.
