Just call me, uh, him, TROUBLE!

Jared got to stay home today, cuz he threw up in the car on the way to school after complaining of a tummyache. So we turned around and came home. I hosed him off and he was good to go! In fact, he was good right after he threw up. Yapped the whole way home.

We talked to Daddy on the pc all morning after that, cuz Jared wanted to "see Daddy!" Anyway, while I was talking to Eric, Jared went out of the room, as he sometimes does, getting bored with serious conversations adults have. I assumed he went in search of the maid, whom both of the boys like a lot, especially since she would give them whatever food they crave, namely candy, chocolate, cake, cookies... You get the picture. So sometimes he follows her around the house, and she just smiles and nods to him. Anyway, so that's what I had assumed.

Only, I was wrong. VERY wrong. After 10 minutes or so of not hearing a peep out of Jared, I began to wonder... I went in search of him, heading downstairs already, calling his name, when behind me (from the direction of my parents' bedroom) came an excited squeak "I'm here!"

I turned around, and to my utmost HORROR, there's my son with the biggest grin on his face, proudly lifts up his face for me to examine, with 3 colors of lipstick all over his lips and chin. I almost busted out laughing, but I had to control myself. So I calmly took him into my parents' bathroom, and there, I nearly fainted!

There was lipstick drawings ALL OVER the INSIDE of the toilet, the cover of the toilet seat, the toilet seat itself, and of course the outside. That explains the wet sleeve on Jared's shirt that I had overlooked upon discovering the lipstick covered face. Have you ever tried to clean off lipstick smudges? It's not easy! Especially hard inside the toilet where it's wet and slippery. The toilet brush is now permanently pink, but somehow I don't think my mom would mind that, but she would, however, a painted (albeit artistically) toilet. Eeeeeek!!!!

Wait, let me say that again, Eeeeeeek!!!

Oh no, that is not the end of the saga.

An hour later, my dad came home. Jared gleefully said to him, "Grandpa, I ate your medicine!" I think I turned green! Lo and behold, he had gotten into the diabetes medicine my dad had and took one. Thank goodness there was only one left in the pack! I can not imagine how many he would have taken otherwise. A little research on the net revealed that there shouldn't be a problem. but, I had emailed our beloved pediatrician, and hopefully she'll get back to me soon on whether I should take him to get his stomache washed. Eeeeeeeeek!!!!

SOMEONE HELP ME!!! I have a distinct feeling that I'm drowning. Is it just me?
