terrible twos

i have never had a 2-year-old who tries my patience and sanity as much as shannon.

if there's a mess in the house, 9 time out of 10,  she's the culprit.
wet cereal in the front room... shannon brought the bowl in and dropped it.
crackers/bread/dry cereal in the kitchen in crumbs... she got a hold of it and decided it needed to be crushed into the floor or couch.
shredded cheese all over the floors...shannon got it out to eat, and dragged it all over the house.
eggs cracked all over the kitchen floor...shannon thought she'd play in the fridge.
milk pooled on the floor and table...shannon wanted a drink.
toothpaste spread all over the sink...she decided to "brush" her teeth.
bandaids and bandage pads all over my bathroom floor...she wanted to "help".
taylor's money all over the house...she wanted to count it.

she's either going to kill us off from illness or starvation.
in the last month, she's wasted 5 pounds of cheese, 3 boxes of cereal, 3 dozen eggs, 2 quarts of milk.
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY!!!!
