How did I get paint on my counters, my floor tiles, my kids?
How am I supposed to watch the seven-year-old when the two-year-old is already consuming attention?
How can I get the child to stop lying to my face about everything?
How do I survive this stage of her life?
How do I let her know I love her unconditionally - even when she messes up?
How do I get paint out of a carpet?
Only the last question seems to have an easy answer...
