Life with a 2yr old

So, I spent the better part of last evening hugging the porcelain throne, in a violent battle with the evil 24hr bug that ruined our Halloween Trick-or-Treat. Boo.  And can I just tell you that the morning following such a battle can leave a mother weak and fatigued, too distracted to pay attention to the fact that her 2yr old is sprinkling the bathroom and the hallway with Comet?!  Oh.My.Word. ....seriously?
Now, before you go judging, and thinking I'm a mother of 4 who ought to know better than to leave such potentially harmful chemicals within reach of a child, you should know that my husband, in a 3:30am haze the other night, placed the Comet under the sink to block the rat that was chewing it's way inside through the little hole where the drain pipe comes in. I know right. It was more like a field mouse...but in my book it may as well have been a RAT.   Ahem, so anyway yes, my 2yr old was sprinkling Comet all over the place. Exasperated sigh. But before you go thinking this is merely a one time catastrophe...I should tell you that less than two weeks ago, that same 2 yr old shorted out my flat screen using the Windex that I mistakenly left out while hurriedly cleaning before company came over....are we seeing a trend? Okay, now you can go ahead and judge ;)  but for what it's worth at least I got a new TV out of that ordeal. I can't say the same for the Comet. I got nuttin' other then a huge headache and a call to the poison control over that one. Should I go ahead and mention that he also doused the hallway with baby powder about two weeks ago,, what a MESS! it took me three days to clean that up [insert eye roll here]...

So, what is/was life like for you raising a 2yr old...does/did it look anything like this?
