One of Those Days

As a parent you learn a lot about efficiency and planning ahead, but no matter how much experience you gain, you still make mistakes now and then. Like today, when I gave my toddler a cupcake an hour AFTER I vacuumed.

Crumbs. Ev.Er.Y.Where. Sigh. Next time we shall eat the cupcake outside, methinks.

As if that weren't enough, I also dressed her in white pants before we went outside to play with sidewalk chalk. Yeah. I know.

Same reason I hate Chef Boyardee. I refuse to buy it even if it might be easy to make in a pinch.

But wait, there's more. I vacuumed up the cupcake crumbs, then made cornbread to go with dinner. Brilliant.

I might have just rolled my eyes and left the cornbread crumbs on the floor for a few days, but we're having company over tomorrow. Time to get the vacuum out again . . .

You need those full body shirt bibs from bumpkins.

PS I vaccum probably 5 times a week. Our dining area has carpet.

Ours does, too. Could be worse - in our last apartment, the carpet was white. At least here it's dark brown so you can't count how many times she's spilled orange juice.
