Bad Day

I am having a really bad day. Elleree and Truman would not quit fighting while I was paying bills, and paying bill sucks as it is.  When I was done paying them it was time to get lunch for the kids.  Of coarse I have to make two different meals because I am a short order cook.  When I was done Truman informs me that Elleree needs her diaper changed.  Okay that is and under statement.  There was poop everywhere, two piles on my floor (I have pictures but Allison said she would disown me if I put them on), all up her back and on her knees and socks.  One of those moments when you wish you were not the mom.  I screamed and then picked Elleree up and put her in the shower to clean her off.

Best part: when she took her pull-up off one leg and kicked it off the other spraying poop all over the bathtub. 

I then had to run Truman to the bus stop, leaving my house a poopy mess.  Have I mentioned I'm pregnant?  Just thought I let you know.  Anyway how do you clean up poop with out a carpet cleaner?  I don't know the best you can.

Next I decided (because I am an awesome mom) to make a big giant cookie for my kids for dessert tonight.  We are having homemade pizza and I thought it would be fun to have a big pizza cookie too.  Yeah I started making it and realized that I have no more Baking Soda (having used it all on the poop thing earlier).  I decided to make Dillon go to our neighbors house (who we have never met) to get me a teaspoon of baking soda.  Dough made I put it in the pizza pan, turns out our pan is a 12 inch not 14 inch who new.  This is what my cookie looked like when I first started smelling something burning



And here is what it looked like when the time was up and it was supposed to be ready.  Cookie anyone?




 Bonus: now my house smells like smoke instead of poop.  Remind me to never try and be a good mom again!

Oh man... what a day!

The poop would be enough to turn me into a blithering mess.

I thought you had that super duper steamer cleaner thing for puke and such. Did it not make it to Magic Valley with you?

You are a mom who loves her kids, does that best she knows how, and gives all she's got. That is a good mom in my book. (for whatever that is worth)
(:

Hope you have some poop free days before that kid pops out!

Did you pick a name from my list?

(:

You are definitely NOT a bad mom. Poop sends anyone over the edge. Chalk it up to one of life's experiences and next time you see Dennis have him tell you the poop story from his mom. It's just one of those days where everything goes wrong I guess. Like when you are in charge of Sharing Time and you just spent the morning yelling at your kids for one reason or another. You just do the best you can and that's all you can do!
Hope tomorrow is a better day!

p.s. I hope you all ate that cookie, because in spite of the overflow it looks like something a kid would love!

Hey! What are you talking about!?! That looks like my GOOD cookies! And I'll take burned over poop smell any day. Have you read Kelsey's poop story at the pizza place? It's on her blog.
You're not a "good" mom - you're a freaking FANTASTIC mom!
Hang in there...if you still have kids pooping and puking 5 years from now THAT will be bad - But, by then they can clean up themselves. Right?!?
Hang in there cutie!
