This week I am feeling like a horrible mother! I don't know if my heads not in the game, or what?! Thursday Addi drank half a bottle of children's ibuprofen, Friday I double-dosed her Singular without knowing it, and Saturday I lost her in Root 03. Seriously?! What is wrong with me??? Thursday morning Conner was walking through the house with Addi's plastic sippy cup and he tripped and fell on it. He pushed his teeth backwards and tore the little piece of skin that is normally attached to your two upper teeth. Once I got the bleeding to stop, I gave him some ibuprofen then recapped the bottle and set it up on the kitchen island. At that point in time all I was worried about was cleaning up blood and trying to get Conner to let me see his teeth. Later that day I was making dinner and apparently Addi came up behind me and stole the half-full bottle of ibuprofen off the counter. It's amazing, she is the most clumsy child until it comes time to do something she isn't supposed to. Well, she figured out the 'child-proof' cap and drank what was left in the bottle. She came into the kitchen after she had done it and held up the bottle and said "mom, I drank all the medicine." I flipped out, called poison control and they said she would be fine. I got so lucky! That's actually the second time I have had to call poison control in 6 months...Conner ate part of a fireplace petroleum log a couple months prior...he was fine too, they said it was mostly saw dust...thank you Jesus! Poison control is going to start charging me a yearly fee...lol. j/k. Well then Friday night I went with Lauren to Walmart and Derrick kept the kids and started their bedtime routine. I got home and he went straight to sleep, so I asked Addi if dad had given her medicine to her...she said no, so I gave her the Singular. Derrick woke up right as I was putting her in her bed and he said "you didn't give her the Singular again did you?" UGH! Yes, yes I did. Because I thought I could trust my almost three year old to tell me the truth (stupid, I know!) and I would assume that if he gave her the Singular, he would've told me. He told me I should've asked him, and that he wouldn't have ever thought to tell me that before going to bed. Whatever...that's a battle I will never win. He is a Scorpio...he was born to argue. Then last night we were leaving dinner, and the 11 adults in the group had passed around the kids all night, and we all thought Addi was with uncle Will. Well no one had Addi, we all flipped out and started running around trying to find her...turns out she went back to look at the fish in the tanks without telling anyone. Some elderly people helped her up onto a chair and watched over her for the 2-4 minutes that she was with them. Ugh, who freaking loses their child?! Idk, whats going on. I feel like I have failed this week. Fail, with a capital 'F.' Nervous about what could happen today, so we are just going to hide out in the house, with no medicine, or fireplace logs, or super hard sippy cups.
