I have a package going in the mail today to my best friend from college. She's overseas serving in Kuwait. I sent her an e-mail last night to let her know that I'm finally getting it shipped and I shared with her that it had been drooled on. Not by me. By the baby. I claim no responsibility for it! I mean, come on, how can a person juggle a roll of very sticky tape, a roll of really curly brown wrapping paper, and a drooly baby that seems to have 6 appendages all at the same time!! It was a losing battle, I tell ya! If someone was listening in, they would have heard this...
ME: Noooooo....
BABY: UGGGGGG....
ME: Stop it! Quit biting that!
*...pause...*
ME: Yeah! DUH! Cardboard doesn't taste good!
*sticky tape unrolling*
BABY: AAAAAHHHHH!!!
ME: WHAT?!
*....pause...*
ME: Stop it! go play with your toys! Ewww...you DROOLED on that!
*more sticky tape unrolling*
ME: Get your hand out from under the tape!
BABY: UUUUUUUUHHHHH....
ME: Are you POO-ing!?!? quit drooling on the box!
*go check the diaper*
ME: Don't bite me! OUCH! That H-U-R-T-S!
*bring baby back in living room and set him on his playmat*
*paper unrolling*
*baby army crawling back over*
ME: No no no!! no drool on the paper! HEY! These are scizzzzzzors! They're sharp! Go play with your toys!
*relocate baby...cut paper*
BABY: Da da da da da!
ME: Noooo...I'm MA MA MA MA.
BABY: *giggling*
ME: It's not funny! I'm Mama!!
*wrap package in paper*
ME: Hey, little dude! I can't fold it if you're sitting on it!
BABY: *blows bubbles at me*
ME: I see that.
*more sticky tape*
BABY: da da da daaaaDAAAAAAAA....
ME: Is that slobber on the package?!?!
*finally finished*
BABY: UUUUHHHHH....
ME: Are you POO-ing, again!? Ewwww...more drool! And don't bite me!
See??? I tried my best to keep the package dry.

Only six appendages? Wow, you got off easy.
And remember...slobber happens.
Hi, it is me. I want to answer your question, if you get a second could you shoot me your e-mail address? Unless it is a huge secret and you are afraid I will stalk you. Because I won't. I saw your picture and you are cute, but not my type. I've got kids your age. Here I am: candidcarrie at gmail dot com.
Oh my gosh does slobber happen! He strikes when least expected. I was holding and playing with him yesterday and put him down so I could work in the kitchen was still trying to figure out how my arm got that much drool on it without me noticing!
Hee...never a dull moment I see!!
