OMG!!!!!!!!!! so...i spoke with a lovely lady this am, her name was ann. (maybe anne?) she works at the poison control center...OMG!@!!!!!!!!!!!!
i ran into the computer room (aka, bedroom, library, office, storage room & mess hall) to send a quick email to uncle mikey & aunt kelly (have a plumber here this am & wish it was my uncle mikey instead!!) and in the middle of this, charlie comes around the corner (MOMENTS after i saw him last reading a book on the living room floor!! MOMENTS!!!!) with a concerened look on his powdered face holding the dishwasher detergent scoop!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! I RAN to the kitchen where i'd put the magnet on the fridge for emergencies...1-800-222-where is it? where is it??..breathing..breathing...(i also put a mr yuk sticker on the detergent for myself since there was no way charlie would get into the cuboard w/o my supervision right? ..!! but only now did i notice the number is on that sticker! ahk!!)
anyways, i don't think he ate that much..he was squirmy for a few minutes, but probably cuz i wasn't filtering my own anxiety! anne told me (she was crazy calm...) yogurt & h20 was okay..to remove his current clothes, throw him in the bath and watch for vomiting..he can choke on it (then going into his lungs..BAD!!) while napping...OMG.....
in the mean time..plumber joe is here...replacing several items in our toilet & a small piece under the kitchen sink..where i had a small waterfall upon my toes yesterday while doing dishes!!...(what the !?!?!..ahh!!)
okay..so ...now you know how our morning was...(charlie is currently at the park w/ grandma, so i best get going now! thanks for listening..i'm feeling a bit better .. ciao

Charlie,
When your daddy was about your age, he took a drink of rubbing alcohol at Grandma Butler’s house in Spokane. To make a long story short….he got through it OK with the help of Poison Control and Holy Family Hospital.
When Grandpa Barge was a little boy in Iowa, he ate worms from time to time. They don’t taste good, but are a better choice than detergent or rubbing alcohol.
Glad you’re OK buddy. We can’t wait to see you Friday morning. That’s assuming you’ll be asleep when we get to your house late Thursday night.
All our love…
Charlie- Annabelle ate Dayquil once. Those poison control people are sure nice. Jack has also eaten things he's not supposed to- a marble, bandaids...
You kids will put us moms into the mental ward worrying about you...
Love you lots.
Aunt Steph
Mmm, soap! The only call I've had to make to Poison Control was when Bibo the cat bit into one of those glow sticks at Halloween, and swallowed some of that radioactive goo. Poison Control didn't know what I was trying to describe, but figured she'd be okay... that was about ten years ago, and she's still managing.
