getting dangerous in her old age!
  About a month ago, while at my youngest's house, I had myself parked at their dining room table talking to my DIL about crafts. The 2 yr old baby walked by and grabbed a hold of the joy stick on my chair and ran me into the table which ran into the sliding glass door right behind it. It shattered. Yep!  I had forgotten to turn my chair off.Yesterday, while baby sitting for the same two year old, I squoze my way between the couch and the wall and down the hallway to make a head call. Coming back, turning the corner from the hall into the dining room, I heard like I was dragging something. My sweatshirt, I figured, because it usually does that. When I hit the front room something made me turn around and there's this river of something creamy following me. I made several turns trying to figure out what it was. My DIL's house smells like vanilla because she has something burning to make it smell that way. "AHA!" I thought. Someone left the ice cream out. Then I thought, "On the floor? Nah..." It was a very strong glue used in laying floors!!!  Hubby cleaned up the puddles with a flat nosed shovel while I read the cleaning unstructions. YooHooo! Warm, soapy water would do it while still wet! So spray bottles. The quickest thing I could find was an emtpy coke can. I proceeded to squirt some Dawn in it and filled it up with warm water then poured it over the trail of glue. Meanwhile, the two year old is walking through it and tracking it more. Poppa finally realized he needed to take this child outside and KEEP him there!  Just then, my son and DIL arrived home. They have a steam cleaner. It didn't work. Hubby and son took off for the closest market and rented a rug cleaner. WHEW!!! That worked. As we were leaving, my son said "I hope you really enjoyed being here because it's the last time you're coming over.  "  He was kidding... but I'm beginning to wonder if I really should stay out of the house!!  It's a pain getting old, ya know? Don't any of you do it! Oh... and Poppa stuck the shovel he cleaned up the glue with in the trash can. Guess what was stuck to it among other things? A poopy diaper!

I'm amazed!! You got the spelling right!
You couldn't give me some words of encouragement, could you, like it happens to everybody? Or... what was that tub of glue doing on the floor, anyway? There's days that I think I should have just gone back to bed!

"It happens to everybody"??? I don't think so
Sounds too complicated to me. The worst I get in a day is having too much on my little tables or imagined tables (I have a high chair next to me here acting as a "table") and keep knocking off eye glasses or pens or dum dum lolipops :-) My cats sound less dangerous than you! I do like that the baby got into it; that sounds like it wasn't quite all your doing. Besides, you avoided the trouble the men would have gotten into if they didn't have this "project" to work on together, LOL.

Well, hell yes, cats are less dangerous than me!
Your life sounds boring, Perna. I've got to stay on the move. Maybe if I didn't, I wouldn't get into so much trouble, you think?

You didn't quite get the story straight but that's okay. You know? That little stinker never did take a nap! I'll bet he went to bed really early and woke Mommy and Daddy up earlier than they wanted to get up, though!  Guess what other trouble I got into yesterday?  The baby came out of the house with two old pan lids. He was trying to use them kinda sorta for what they are; cover things with. Then "Lola," my evil twin spoke up and whispered, "teach him to bang them together!!" hehehe I'll bet Mommy and Daddy are loving me today!

I don't know where it came from or why it was there. Your guess is as good as mine. I think it was in the dinning room against the hutch and I must have caught it with one of my wheels as I went by. I thought I had pushed it out of reach of the wheelchair with my foot, but I guess I didn't push it far enough.
Did you read about what I taught the baby to do?? I'm a baaaaaaad grandma! Pays my son back for being such a hellion when he was little.

Don't think I haven't thought about it, Peg. Only thing is, I might get myself in trouble for contributing to the delinquancy of a minor. The things I helped my kids pull when they were teenagers!

THAT'S happened before!
It would be funny if it got glued to the carpet, though, wouldn't it?

Way to go, teaching the baby about pan lids!
My best friend from high school, her parents called her son when he was two, "pequeño diablo" because he liked to crawl into the cabinets and do the pan banging thing (they had raised 4 children, including twins and forgotten everything they knew about it -- I had to come over when my girlfriend was visiting her parents (she lives in Arizona, they lived in Maryland) and was taking a shower and watch Kevin, her son, because her parents couldn't be relied on to pay close enough attention!). I had a little teeshirt made up for himi with that name on it and gave it to them as a present :-)

 What a story, lol. Don't worry though its not like anyone got hurt. When you said you were doing crafts I was so afraid the next sentence was going to involve someone getting hurt. I'm so glad that didn't happen Oh, got to go feed baby. |

This isn't about my grandson, it's about his looney "abuela" but he's got the nickname of Mr. T... T for Trouble.
Don't forget, he's the one that pulled on my joystick and made me break the sliding glass door. At least Kevin crawled into the cabinets. Aiden walks around the house and outside banging the lids. It was really funny. When he first started doing it, he'd close his eyes and sorta turn away for the noise.

OMG! LOL!
oh, septie. that's sooooo funny! gave me such a belly laugh. wow. that's some adventure! reminds me of when i was so foggy-headed from my meds a year ago. i wasn't able to think straight as i had wanted to dump the melted candlewax to use the container for something and had poured it down the kitchen sink drain. sure enough, it clogged it up big time. yet, because i couldn't think straight, my hubby had to fix it. he just used the draino fluid and boiling water (not at the same time). and it did the trick. but, it was nuts. probably pales in comparison to yours. lol. oh, my. we all have those weird adventures similar to yours at one point in our lives. hehe.

I'll bet your hubby didn't think it was that funny! I was feeling fine! Can't use the excuse about the meds and I know that the stupid little wheels on the back of this chair catch things. Honestly, though, I thought I had kicked the tub out of the way. Did you read what I taught my baby grandson to do? I'll bet he's lost those lids by now.
