Musings of a married working mom of two kiddos trying to stay sane and work in some exercise and socializing in every now and again. You know, the life of most parent's in their late 30's-early 40's who live in any given city (mine happens to be Portland Oregon, SE, Reed to be specific)

Do I need to call poison control?
First, let me say that my husband is not a stupid man, actually he is quite intelligent. However, common sense seems to be something that he is a smidge short on. I don't say these things with anger or malice in my heart because I would say these things to my husband, and I have, repeatedly. For example, we have two kids Ayelet who is 7 months and Eytan who is 2.5. Hubs was playing with kids outside. I was in the house trying to clean things up because we have a Passover Seder planned and I need several days to get my house looking like I always keep it tidy (which, really with two little kids, my house is rarely tidy). At any rate, Hubs is in the backyard and he picks some tulips while holding Ayelet, little miss grabby hands. When they come inside, Ayelet has already pulled the flower off the stem and she is holding the stem while Hubs holds the flower portion. So, by the time I see them and Hubs is handing me the flower saying "Ayelet wanted to pick this for Momma" Ayelet was chewing on the stem portion. The first thing that crossed my mind is, what are you doing letting her chew on that? it could be poisonous. why aren't you paying more attention to my baby and what goes into her mouth? Argh. Good thing she didn't actually consume anything and all was fine.
