on your knees please!

I spent a good deal of time yesterday on my knees.

Why?

#1-Houdini somehow managed to knock a full can of white paint off the counter in the office.

When it hit the floor, the can dented and the lid popped off on one side. THEN, the white paint started spilling/splashing all over our brown carpet. AGGGGGHHHH! I was 3 feet away when this happened and was able to react quickly. My instant thought is:" Do I attack the paint all over the floor or the paint all over the boy?" I decided to attack the boy, since he has the potential to spread the paint and the paint on the floor is mostly staying in one spot. After a quick scrub down and removal of paint covered shorts, he was placed in his crib, where his destruction capabilities are significantly reduced.

I then attacked the floor with a bucket of water, a scrub brush and my FAVORITE cleaning product "Spot Shot". The results are satisfactory and only a faint spot looks whitish now.

Little did I know I would be back on my knees a mere 6 hours later.

#2 While making dinner I heard a sound from the family room that sends unrelenting fear into every mother's ears.

I ran to look just in time to see Proto barf all over the couch and floor, and shoes and pillow and toys and one stuffed animal. In the .5 seconds it took me to reach him he spewed once again over everything. I then managed to pull/lift him to the bathroom/toilet where he unloaded some more.

So to sum my day up, I used an entire can of "Spot Shot" and every clean rag in the house.

Where is the maid when I need her!?!?!?!?

p.s. Spot Shot - you rock.
