catastrophyTip #4
You will get messy. Accept it. Make peace with it. Move on.
When visiting a house with pets, you'll get pet hair on everything. So, you don't wear black if you can help it and you pack a lint roller, right? With toddlers, you'll get boogies, mud, squash, pee, or WORSE, no matter what you do. So, hang up that nice dry-clean only sweater as soon as you walk in the door. For everything else, pack a spare, and take comfort in the knowledge that most moms have laundry going 24/7. (Pajamas are slimed by breakfast, and if Miss Terrible Two's clothes make it through lunch unscathed, they're casualties by dinner. Factoring in puddles, diaper blow-outs, and toddlers' developing motor control---you're lucky if one outfit lasts a couple hours.)
Remember the 3 P's: If it's been Puked on, Peed on, or Pooed on, get in the wash the same day!
