No more PLEASE!!!!

For those of you who don't know, I have started watching Zoey again. Most days are delightful, but there are some days (even if Zoey wasn't here) that I want to pull my hair out and swear non stop. This morning was more on the pull my hair out side. It was about 9am and we were watching cartoons and the girls were eating breakfast. Zoey was A LOT calmer than usual just laying on the couch (which isn't a good thing in her case). I didn't think anything of it and just enjoyed the calmness. Well I looked over at her as she was turning or doing something and saw something on her arm. I asked her what she had and she hurried and put her arm down and didn't say anything. But with the look on her face I knew that something was up. I went over to her and grabbed her arm and she kinda started to cry because she had taken the gum that she was chewing and decided to stick it all over her body. She was fully dressed but she managed to get it on her neck and chin, her belly, her hand and some fingers and in the crevice of her arm. The crevice was the worst because she had put the most gum there and then closed her arm which then made it stick together and because she was sitting like that for so long it stuck so much that it hurt her to try to open it. It did get on her shirt, so I am in the process of getting that out. I have heard of many ways to get gum out of fabrics, but never skin. So I started to try different things. These are the things that don't work well: Oily lotion, peanut butter, and toothpaste (Aloe Vera was next on the list). I was just going through my house trying anything to get it off. The thing that removes gum for skin is: rubbing alcohol. It worked wonderfully. (Although Zoey didn't like it much.) So to anyone who watches Zoey--NO MORE GUM! Especially at my house!

I am actually thinking about starting a different blog with ways to remove things from other things. :) Between the twins and Zoey I'm sure I will learn many more things!

These pictures aren't the best cause my camera SUCKS, but you can kinda see where the gum was.





Oh and about 1/2 hour before this, I found her sneaking around the house with a big booger on her finger. Gross!
