Here's my scenario:
I bought the new Ped Egg, based on a friend's recommendation. My husband was teasing that it was a cheese grater, but I bought it knowing that my friend (a female) would know much more about pedi care than my hubby. So the plan was that I would do a little pedi care on myself after we put the kids to bed last night. All went as planned. The kids were asleep. Hubby turned on the TV, and I took out some toenail polish remover, my pedi egg, my favorite foot rub lotion, and some fushia pink toenail polish (we're going to Laughlin this weekend and it matches my swimsuit). I used the remover and pedi egg (which I LOVE by the way) and then proceeded to rub on some lotion. By this point however, hubby was a bit put off by the smell of the remover and the fact that I wouldn't sit still for him to lay on my belly, which is his routine. So I decided to forego the polish until after my morning shower and laid back to have a little relaxing time with just the two of us, basking in my nice soft, smooth feet.... ... ... Did you catch it? Did you figure out where I went wrong? Well, if not, then it could have happened to you too.
DID YOU CATCH IT?.... I woke up at 5:30 AM to both kids already up so I brought them into bed with us for a little family cuddling. Daddy got up around 6:30 and left for work by 6:45. PUTTING TOGETHER THE PIECES YET? NO? Well here's a hint, although I was awake, I didn't roll out of bed at 7:00. That gave the kids 15 minutes of quiet play time in their room. The key word here being QUIET. Yep, never trust the quiet.
Here's what I SHOULD have done: finished polishing my nails. Why? Because then I would have felt guilty for spending so much time on myself and hidden the evidence. Instead, I left the polish on my dresser. Not a big deal for any normal woman, but this woman has a 3 and almost-2 year old. So what am I doing now? Fuming over the computer while the kids sleep upstairs....after having spent an hour and a half trying to clean fushia off of the nursery's hardwood floor, solid oak dresser, solid oak bunk bed, other dresser, solid oak nursery door, little girl's hands, feet, belly, and face, little boy's hands, feet & face.
I am out of tissue, polish remover, patience and I should have known better.
