If you have ever thought...

"I hope some fool tries to steal my van tonight." because one of your children threw up in the back seat...

Or when you think to yourself, "I should have let him throw up at the in laws house, maybe they wouldn't invite us back." because you know it was one or the other and you took the higher road...

Or when you think, "At least the kids can't make a mess." because one of your wonderful children locked you out of the house and you are standing on the front porch.

If you have ever thought those things in a single day than you probably had the kind of day I did.  A helpful hint, if your child throws up in your van baking soda soaks it up nicely.  Just let sit and vacuum up when its dry.  Bonus it also absorbs the smell.  Always keep plastic bags in the van!  I've mentioned this before but it is a huge help when accidents happen.  Remember the boy scout motto - always be prepared. 

At least we learned just how easy it is to break into our house...and breaking in would be overstating things.  We slid the window open.  Remember to lock your windows!
