Every time I turn around

she's trashing something! What in the hell is a mother supposed to do? I think I need a leash for this preschooler. We were going to buy a pool for the yard this summer but have just decided that FORGETTIT. That could be the most hazzardous thing we ever did. We can't even keep control of our house how the hell could we keep control of our 3 year old from drowning in it. I could not live with myself if that happened so we'll wait a few more years. PHEW!

So last night or shall I start with yesterday she

gleeped the bottle of whipping cream from the fridge and sucked the entire thing back in her room

emptied her closet wearing EVERY outfit she could get her dirty mits on and got it dirty as well or threw it on the floor and the cat graciously pissed on it. Fucking cat. I forgot to mention that there ARE locks on the closet doors to prevent this sort of thing but said 3 yr old has taken to musical bar stools for reaching. UGH

pushed our chow out the window (it's a floor level opening window) into the flower box of pansies and then picked said pansies which just recently bloomed a burst of yellow bunches right ousided the bottom of the girls bedroom window. Grrrrrrrr

Took her afternoon snack of cherries up to the top bunk on her sisters bed and ate them up there spitting the cherry pits on pretty white and pink princess sheets.

Took bucket of chocolate icecream out of the fridge and straight to her room to eat with her hands. Head to toe chocolate in two minutes.

Cranberry juice spilled on the floor of her room. (no wonder my carpet shampooer is my best friend)

Not one piece of makeup that could ever enter this house will and can ever remain in my possession because my monster 3 year old is like hudini and takes it and hides it and uses it and it's hell.

I hate that people keep giving her these cutesy little bottles of nailpolish because she hides them in her pocket and puts them on in the van while I'm driving. My pooor poooooor poooor van. I HATE nailpolish. Reagan has ruined it for me. She has painted the bathroom downstairs with nailbpolish.

She scopes the house for body cream or hair conditioner and slathers it ALL OVER her body. I'm just waiting for the time that she gets into the self tanning cream. It's up high and in a cupboard but that don't mean anything.

She cut her hair when we were at my girlfriends house with the thinning shears and tells everyone that the fairy godmother did it.

I feel like puking now. I keep thinking I need to be more alert with her. I am seriously a stay at home mom who is with Reagan all the time. She sneaks off and when I think she is watching a show or playing while I do house cleaning she does these things. She is fast and sneaky. When people are over or whatching her they are astounded at what she's capable of doing and thinking of.

I am seriously going nuttttts!

I bet your 3 year old sounds like an angel now.

Wow. I am tired just reading your post. Could you put squeaky shoes on her? You would hear her heading off for trouble... (or would she just take them off?) An anklet w/bells?

Have you talked to your pediatrician? Maybe there's something going on with her chemically? (me clueless) ;)

Best to you, it must be exhausting cleaning up all the messes. Do you have HER clean each mess up? Maybe that would make a difference, if there were an unpleasant consequence for her?
