I was almost one son short today (yes, bead related!)

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

No one has ever asked me that, and I'll be 50 this year. Is that weird or
what?

Lol. I'm sorry, Helen! I remember those days, only it's not funny when
it's your kid!

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 but now I'm stuck with a big dish

of
15 different colors of purple to sort. Just what I was looking forward to
doing over the next couple of days!!!! And they all came out of mostly

full
2x3" ziplog baggies. AURGH!!!!!! But it could have been worse and been

ALL
my beads instead of just the purples.

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!!

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!"

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???

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)

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.....

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!

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?

You could always sell it as a custom mix on eBay and buy all new purple
seeds beads...
