Long Time Gone...

Did I do that???
But I promise to be back next week. We've been lost in a fog of vomiting, colds, projecting, painting and catching up on yucky algebra homework that I MUST have finished before the baby comes...or at least 3 tests down by then. I just can't seem to catch up before another little meltdown hits. But before I sign off, does anyone have a good remedy for getting horrible stains out of the carpet...I have tried everything including renting a steam cleaner and it still didn't come all the way out...want to know what happened:

Dave was fixing the insides of the upstairs kids toilet which has a nasty habit of running all night long...

I had finished painting Savannah's room and just turned on the shower and undressed when I hear ben come in and say mom....

I look down and notice his feet are covered in blue globs...

And then I go out and look at the trail of little blue footprints that go from the bathroom where Daddy is working all the way in circles to my room...

You see I use the blue toilet bleach to keep our toilets smelling fresh and Dave had put a big glob of it on a towel when he took the toilet apart...which ben then stepped in and trailed all over the upstairs.

6 hours of scrubbing and steaming later I still have a spot about 18 inches long I cannot get out. HELP!!

Oh my!! I just heard a no fail recipe for getting stuff out of carpet yesterday-- so I haven't tried it yet, but here it is: 1 part water, 1 part rubbing alcohol, and 1 part amonia.

I'm going to try it this weekend. I'll let you know how it works!
