Note to Self:

If you ever again see your children playing with styrofoam packing material out of the corner of your eye and decide that whatever mess they make with it is worth the extra time it gives you to read your book undisturbed IT IS NOT. Nor is the cleaning up of the vomit once your three-year-old decides to sample it and gags.

PS-I was too busy cleaning up the tiny pieces for the past 3 days to take a picture.

A Thousand Splendid Suns...a worthy book to have your home destroyed while reading, I'd say.

I could have told you that from working at the UPS Store! We had some spills with enormous warehouse bags of the stuff. However, even knowing that I might have done the same thing for some book time. The throw up though puts it over the edge.

that is a good book, but I'm glad for the tip....I guess you're not the right person to tell that I filled a guy's care FULL of packaging peanuts one day in college....hehe.....

And can I say that reading your blog is so stinkin' entertaining!!! You're awesome, Katie

Why does it seem you are always cleaning up vomit! Poor Katie!

Don't forget to mention how it sticks and clings to everything that it touches. I had the same experience about a year ago and it took forever to clean up.
