I Bet You Wish You Had My Day

WARNING: NOT FOR THOSE WITH WEAK STOMACHS

Well, I wish you had my day, anyway. Or actually just my lunch hour. The rest of the day has been fine.

After I picked up Ethan from prechool, Avery fell asleep in the car. So, when we got home I put her to sleep in her crib while I made lunch (mac 'n cheese w/squash mixed in). Then, Ethan refuses to eat his lunch and has a huge tantrum. He says "Mom, it tastes like it has squash in it." Dang, smart kids.

So, while Ethan throws a fit, I hear Avery crying. I go in to get her and change the worst diaper ever. Then I get her some lunch, help Caitlin go potty, and try to tend to Ethan.

Caitlin comes running in and says that now she needs to go poop. So, I tell her to go and do it (why do kids always want to tell you first?) Half way to the toilet, with her underwear already down, she goes. Yes, she poops in the middle of my hallway. And not just poop, diarrhea. None on her, none on her underwear, all on my carpet. So, I send her to sit on the toilet, while I try to clean up this mess somehow. The whole time I am cleaning up Avery is screaming from her high chair, Caitlin is yelling from the toilet, and Ethan is calling for "Superman bites" (apparently he can't eat something he doesn't like unless Mom holds the spoon).

So, I do my best with the clean-up (will have to go back again later). Then I clean up Caitlin and make my way back to the kitchen to see why Avery is screaming. I figure she is just done with her lunch, so I pull her up out of her high chair. As I do, I see the poop streaming out of the side of her diaper all into the seat and now on the tray. Yes, you were hoping there was more poop in this story, weren't you? So onto the tile she goes where I change her. Then I disinfect the high chair and the tile. And Ethan says "Moooommm, my Superman Bites". Right, how could I have forgotten?

So, there is the gist of it. Everyone is pretty much cleaned up. I'm not sure now if my girls are sick or what. I think I'm going to go rub some more at my carpet. If I can find my carpet cleaner. I think I saw Avery with it last.
