"Find the Humor in any situation"
"I have had more fun than one should be allowed"
Oh, the labels/fun phrases that people like to say just flood right in now...
I guess you could say that this day o fun (24 hours) started last night when E began throwing up! YUCK! AND, of course, she had laid down in the boys room right before she got sick. So I had to scramble to find other sleeping arrangements for the boys in between helping her.
The morning seemed to go off without a hitch, and the 4 of us had a good time together, resting and watching tv. Then, while I was feeding S (ie occupied, unable to get to the others... BTW, why are kids programmed that when mom is busy, that is their signal to either get into trouble or REALLY need you???) I heard P screaming for me. I sent Iz to check and her reaction... "you REALLY need to get in there!" But P came to me...naked from the waist down, streaked in poop! (sorry- I am going for the mental image now, so you can feel ALITTLE what my afternoon was like) :)
He then leads me back to the bathroom where I see poop- on the floor, all over the toilet, and all over my child - with P VERY quietly & pitifully saying "sawwy mommy, I not make it".
After I clean him up, I realize that I need to clean not only the bathroom, but also the hall, the den and the florida room (remember he came to me having poop on the bottom of his feet) AAGGGHHH! "ok, I can do this"
Well, while I am getting afew cleaning things together, I go into the kitchen...
and there is S, sitting on the floor, playing in something. As I get closer, I realize there is something shiny on his head too. All I can think of is to yell my middle child's name. He comes around the corner, with that sheepy smile on his face, "yes?".
me- "what did you do?"
P- "I helpin to clean?"
me- "what is on S? and why do you feel the need to clean him too" And he shows me the small bottle of Dawn!! AAGGHH!
So I calmly take both boys to the bathroom to scrub them down, and as I was stripping S down, he decides he needs to go to the bathroom...all over my legs!!! AAGGHH!
Here they are during the clean up...notice the shine/bubbles all over S's head!! HA!! And Poor P, he had a rough afternoon too!
OH- I just thought of another "cute" expression...
"What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger" HA!!
