The play equipment and sandbox looked like Monday morning after a weekend frat party if they partied with goldfish, cheese doodles, yogurt, almonds and pistachios.

Don't make me come over there and play Freddy Krueger with the shop vac, people...


on second thought, maybe your kids would like the playground to themselves after I've finished?

:evil:


This is where I explain how long we spent house-hunting in this town for a house with a YARD suitable for a child to play in, isn't it?  Yeah-- the park was a total mess for her.  Unreliable from the get go, and always was.   :disappointed:  All because some people can't stand not to feed their kids continuously.  I mean-- the number of times I wiped down the slide with clorox wipes.... OMG.   :P  Nothing says "Hi!  I'm mentally ill.  What's your name?" quite like following your child around a play structure while you herd and wipe, herd and wipe.   

{shudders}  Sorry.  Total PTSD moment there.  Thus my offer to purge things with the shop vac.

I'm better than I used to be, though.  I used to actively mutter about "purification by fire" and fantasize about having a backpack flame thrower just for occasions like this.

Usually we're able to deal with the occasional accidental spilled snack. This looks more like littering as if they're too lazy to use the picnic area and garbage can they just use the public park like a dump.

I lol'd at the description. So true.

Walked onto a play surface yesterday and walked RIGHT BACK OFF.  Why?  Hard boiled egg smashed all over the place and being tracked by feet and hands.

Thank goodness DS didn't really want to play.

Congrats, Boo!  That is an amazing year for your DS with all the challenges !  Having all ds allergies pretty much ggone, its almost surreal to me that I don't have to worry about all the stuff I used to worry about.  It makes me realize just how much worrying I have done over the past 11 or 12 years!

There is a 2nd grader on my block who has an iPhone....my nephew (17) had a very simple phone and never had it on or charged.  He got an iPhone for Christmas and always has it on.  DS getting phone when he goes to middle school.  It will probably be a very basic phone.

It's field trip season.  It stinks to have to check to make sure a nurse will be going on the trip.  If the school cannot get a nurse, then I will be going on the trip so DD can go.

Daily 3-hour picnics inside the public park sandbox. I capitulate! That's more than I can deal with. Nice to know the same 5-7 families are going to bogart the sandbox for themselves.

Is it petty that it disgusts me? I did grow up in places with icky cockroach populations. Maybe it's different here.

LOL, yeah.  We have sand underneath our wooden playset --- I'd look out and see a neighbor kid in that sand.  Umm, get outta there, Honey ...... the neighborhood farm cats use that as a litter box.   :hiding: 

When the kids were little we had a sandbox but I kept it covered.  Even so, we replaced the sand on a regular basis.

Isn't that supposed to be our magical food allergy cure? Filth, parasites and fecal matter?

Making everything from scratch means we have to clean mountains of dishes... My kitchen sink looked like Mount Everest last night.
ANA peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, potato, sorghum

Living with allergens in house means buy a dishwasher with "NUKE" option.

:rofl:


Also-- means explaining to others why "crowded and chaotic environment + little kids with food-food-food = this is me, wired like a capuchin monkey on speed," so don't take it too personally if I don't seem "relaxed and at-ease" in that setting-- it's not you, it's my food allergies.

I seriously researched one of those after DS2 was diagnosed being allergic to all beans, garlic, mustard, mushroom, peanuts, tree nuts and a few others that I cannot remember.  Because you know it wasn't enough to deal with the kid who was allergic to wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, corn, eggs, dairy, soy, peanuts and tree nuts.

It may have been because I wanted to implode myself though  :hiding:
DS1 - Wheat, rye, barley and egg
DS2 - peanuts
DD -  tree nuts, soy and sunflower
Me - bananas, eggplant, many drugs
