Some days you just can't predict whats coming. Thursday of this week my kids woke up at 5:50am. Then something miraculous happened...they went BACK to sleep! They slept until 7:15, for the first time in weeks! Nathan was only working that day then he would be off for two, so I, naturally, thought I can DO this today!! Extra sleep and only one day is no problem, right? Hahaha. Well karma decided to teach me a lesson on being cocky..
around 10 that morning I slipped into the bathroom for a few minutes, coffee drinkers will understand this, and I hear Eli yelling from his room. (Their room is baby proofed with a handle cap that Denver can open but Eli can not) And then I hear Denver yelling "POOP, There's poop on the floor!" I take a deep breath and open the bathroom door, and step in poo.. right outside the bathroom, on the carpet, and in the boys room too... Eli had gone pee downstairs in potty then came upstairs, naked, and Denver stuck him in their room and Eli couldn't get out. And apparently had to poop. I let out a yell. Then pulled myself together, scooped Eli up and put him in the sink, washed myself off in the tub. Then cleaned up the mess. Then gave Eli a bath, cloroxed the tub, spot cleaned the rug, then we vacuumed the bedroom and hallway. All before lunchtime. Then we made lunch and Eli and I got much needed naps. We ended the day playing in the grass and having a picnic snack before daddy got home. I am grateful I was able to handle it all even if I didn't handle it the best. I know days will always be full of surprises and chaos but as long as I keep my wits and remember that its only one day, and who knows what tomorrow will bring?
