Especially when an international tourist has used it and left piddle all over the seat and I have to clean it with my bare hands with dunny paper before me and my kids use it! You can bet your sweet arse, I am glad I have some hand sanitiser on hand!One Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928028285580684170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618595985130726262.post-73377184204016613002015-04-17T21:52:48.644+09:302015-04-17T21:52:48.644+09:30Ha!

You may be surprised at the research regarding increased incidence of allergies in children, increased resistance to antibiotic therapy and chemical absorption via the skin through overuse of antimicrobials. Hand sanitiser is fine if used correctly, but it doesn't take the place of soap and water.

ONE DAY WE COULDN'T FIND ZOIDBERG ANYWHERE IN THE TANK, AND AFTER ENDLESS LOOKING AMONGST THE PEBBLES FOR REMNANTS OF HIM THINKING THAT FELIX HAD EATEN HIM WE GAVE-UP, MYSTIFIED AT HIS DISAPPEARANCE. OVER A WEEK LATER I WAS TIDYING UP MY SON'S TOYS IN THE LOUNGEROOM AND WAS SCOOPING THINGS FROM UNDERNEATH THE LOUNGE-SUITE WITH MY BARE HANDS, WHEN I GOT A WHIFF OF SOMETHING UNPLEASANT, WHICH WAS QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY THE FEEL OF SOMETHING GROSS. OUR LOBSTER HAD ESCAPED FROM THE TANK, (APPARENTLY THEY ARE KNOWN FOR CLIMBING UP AIR TUBES), AND WENT FOR A WANDER, ONLY TO COME TO AN UNTIMELY END UNDERNEATH OUR LOUNGE. TALK ABOUT FEELING GROSS AS I HELD ONTO THE REMAINS OF A STINKY, SHRIVELED UP BLUE-CLAW LOBSTER. THE IMMEDIATE DASH TO THE LAUNDRY TUB TO WASH AWAY THE MESS FELT LIKE THE LONGEST DISTANCE EVER!!!

Being the very protective mum I am I stayed with Miss 3 in tow. Miss 3 hadn't really shook the terrible 2's at this point and was well, being difficult and cranky. I was already at my wits end when I picked up up and put her on my hip only to realise albeit too late she had stepped in fresh dog poo which was now all over my jeans and my handbag. Not wanting to leave my youngest there alone at the park or pull her out early I make my way to the nearest tap and did my best cleaning job while dealing with a cranky toddler screaming laying on the ground beside me bringing all sorts of unwanted looks while trying to remove the poop discreetly. Needless to say water didnt do the best job. Rummage through my bag I managed to find hand sanitiser and scented moisturiser. Frantically rubbing them both on ym hands and pants failing miserably to mask the smell. Kind of like when your husband uses toilet spray and you go in behind him and think. Yeah you arent fooling anyone LOL.. Needless to say I kept my distance from the other mothers for the remainder of the party, I was shy anyway.wundergurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08165267588604416573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618595985130726262.post-46244341788428919892015-04-13T18:48:09.511+09:302015-04-13T18:48:09.511+09:30A month ago my daughter and I were having a sleepo...A month ago my daughter and I were having a sleepover at my friends house, our kids have been mates since birth. So we had a few drinkies while the kid ate a 'bit' of junk. I woke up at 10.30pm and my bedmate, my 7yo had hurled throughout my friend's bed, all over EVERYTHING, I think I saw actual clinkers fall to the floor. My friend can't do spew so I managed in her house, stripped chunks of sheets before putting in wash, saw to the bed, the shower, etc. Then finally an hour later got in the shower myself before disinfecting the entire place. This is more gross than funny.

I remember before we had kids we went out for a cultured breakfast with my cousin and her kids - her youngest had a number 3. I have never seen so much poo - even in his hair (how the hell does it get there!!!). Safe to say this bought my husband at least 6 months before we talked about kids again and we literally ran away from the café afterwards - as far away from a number 3 as possible.

We headed to the high country in Victoria. It was absolutely freezing!! It was the coldest I had ever been in my life. For five days, I refused to change my kids or myself out of our clothes, even though we had a portable shower, I refused to use it as I couldn't bear the thought of stripping down. The kids were SO grubby, (no bath+ being outdoors in nature = filth!), and I had wipes and hand sanitiser that I used like a mad woman!! <br />And no, I haven't gone on another camping trip since!!!In The Good Books Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117597052289647895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618595985130726262.post-42756089418568127442015-04-11T21:21:46.723+09:302015-04-11T21:21:46.723+09:30My two kids always loved having a bath together, M...My two kids always loved having a bath together, My daughter 2 years older had pooped in the bath.

As soon as I unpacked and settled everyone I headed for a nap. Only to be woken with OMG your mother doesn't need to see this. <br /><br />On arriving in the games room, it would seem that hubby also decided to take a nap and the girls wanted to continue their snow fight fun. Only with no snow around they improvised with 10 kilos of white flour. The sensible middle child tried to intervene and clean up the mess, with a bucket of water. <br /><br />The baby of the family was as white as a ghost and covered from head to toe and the games room looked like a white crime scene. <br /><br />Mystery Casehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204666798327984964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618595985130726262.post-37999536914894427032015-04-10T21:30:52.244+09:302015-04-10T21:30:52.244+09:30Oh no!
