Yes, I’ve met Jack Shit; hell, he’s a constant fixture in my life as a parent!

On another note, thank goodness Buddy’s pool incident was no more than a scare! Don’t beat yourself up. I think we mommies tend to ‘freeze up’ when we know our significant other is around…I know that if you’d been alone with them you’d have gone in a millisecond right after!

Hugs!

Holy shit - that just happened last night. We parked on the other side of street from this restaurant and, after dinner, LN broke away from me to run to my car (which she always does when we leave home but then the car is parked on OUR side of the street)… almost right INTO a traffic. I forgot for a second that we had parked across the street and took a split second to remember and another to realize what LN was about to do. DAMN… that’s so freaking scary. (Good thing I only have one to keep an eye on… I don’t think I’d be qualified for twins…)

One thing: I truly do admire you because you’re like supermom to me. Mothers always don’t know jackshit about raising children, but they still do it the right away. They just go by instinct.
I remember I scared my mom when I was younger when I took a big scissor and tried to cut my finger off. Yah I was a bit slow back then. But hey my mom beat the shit out of me for being stupid and then hugged me.

buddy is going to be the death of me. i’m about to asphyxiate from laughing. don’t get me wrong, (and don’t come after me if I misspelled asph-whatever) I don’t like the idea of Buddy drowning or Bean getting run over, but you and your kids are awesome even in crisis.

jc fell in the pool once when he was a little over a year. scared the poop right out of me. one nano-second he’s fine, the next - totally under water! he’s five now and just started really enjoying the water last year. souns like buddy wasn’t too phased by the whole incident, tho! good for him (and you).

Oh. My. Gosh. I don’t even want to imagine such things… but Em’s definitely starting to scare me around streets/parking lots.

And that “what boat?” comment totally made me think of an episode of Lost.

oh lord, don’t i know it. i think poison control has some sort of file going on me because of the amount of times i’ve called. i swear i turned around for a second and turtle had the poinsettia flower or ointment tube or silica gel packet in his mouth and i have no idea how i swear. and incidentally, turtle did the same thing as bean the other day and almost stepped right into a on coming traffic thinking he was going to get in on the other side of our car for a change. i screamed his name and yanked him back like a lunatic. it wasn’t even a scream. it was a animal like roar. and i only have one to look after. you get through twice the fun. yikes. go halfmama!

Both of those incidents, especially the one where Buddy jumped in the pool, sound sooooo scary. Glad everything turned out okay. I love the “Because I jumped in the pool.”

Your last sentence is so true. I feel that way all the time.

Comment…Take 2! I was so verklempt by Buddy’s remark that I have to pull myself together. I am kvelling. (translation: I am walking on air.) He can hold my hand any time. I hope the holiday plans pan out so I can cover him in zerberts, sweet little munchkin.
