Okay, Cherie. I told you it would happen again sooner or later. This morning I was on the treadmill and Gracie comes running down the stairs with a pen yelling" Mom, Jake wrote on the computer!!" So of course, I'm thinking, no big deal, he's usually got a pencil in his hand. Then I look at the pen she's holding and realize it's a ....SHARPIE!!!! Oh yeah...all over my 20 in. Mac screen....everywhere! So of course I start hyperventilating, and run to go and find a cleaner that will do the job. Fortunately it was on the glass...after a little Clorox and window cleaner, and a lot of scrubbing, it was gone. Okay, so maybe I overreacted, but c'mon...a Sharpie...that never comes off anything. So Cherie, this is for you and for those days you wonder if it's ever going to get easier.....

Goof-off, thats what you need. Always have a small can around the house. It is great stuff. Thanks for the everyday insights of a mom with 5 children.
Keep up the good work, and remember, that the adrenaline rush you had when you heard the news is better for your heart than running a half mile. LOL
Oh man. I hate the call of so and so did this and then going to see what the damage is...Good thing it came off!
Oh That is so funny!! Well funny that we are all in the same boat. At the end of the day (when they're sleeping) I think we realize how blessed we are and how even with all the craziness we couldn't live with out them. :)
Oh my laws! That's good to know that a little Clorox and window cleaner can remove Sharpie. You are obviously an experienced mother!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!Mom i didn't even know that!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Sorry it's just so funny!
use cheap hairspray it works
I have never tried it on a computer screen but I love the Mr. Clean sponges. Don't apply too much pressure or it may take the texture off of the wall (when scrubbing angrily and vigorously) but I have a testimony of them removing crayon, marker, pen....well you get the picture.
Amy!!! I have had the same problem with my little Amber She loves those darn Sharpies too! Fortunately she hasn't picked on my mac, but she did draw on my keyboard. Ya gotta love em!
I am so glad that those things happen at other houses. Landon wrote on my walls a few weeks ago with a blue marker...thank you magic eraser. =)
You did good sweetie!! That will happen at least once in a year. Kids have a keen sense of where Sharpies are, Just put them under lock and key and that may help. other than that how was your day? :)
