Never have I had a kid smear poop on the wall. I actually just told Chris how lucky we were that none of our darlings ever took their diapers off and played with poop as I know other unfortunate parents who have had to deal with this mess. But today I walked into Jacks room, he was naked. Poop was on the floor in two piles and pee was on the floor. Poo was also on the wall, smeared in several spots as if he was trying to wipe poo off his fingers. Why would he wash his hands? I mean, the wall was RIGHT THERE! I asked him what happened (because we've been potty trained for some time now) and he said he couldn't get his jammies off fast enough. Hmmm, still dont get it since poop was on the floor not his jammies. I'm guessing he stripped down then forgot he had to potty, started playing and then it just came out on the floor. Anyway, it's been quite the week with the poop smearing (which incidentally wasn't THAT bad to clean up. I mean I've wiped buns for years, whats a wall?) Then we have unexpectedly had 3 snow days which means we've been cooped up with friends in and out. Great, for a day or two... but seriously? 3 days? I gotta get outta here! Oh wait, yesterday I did get to get out of the house ... I got to go have an apico surgery on my gums.
Funny little story... last summer I went in to have a root canal. It seemed to be taking a l-o-n-g time... but I was under the influence of nitrous oxide so I was no one to judge. I just sat there for an hour or so. It seemed like they were doing two of everything but I figured I was just halucinating. NO, when I sat up the dentist came in and said... "Um, this is really hard to tell you, and I'm really really sorry... but we did the root canal on the wrong tooth. We also did it on the right tooth! So you had two root canals." (in his defence it was totally the dental hygenist's fault as she prepped the wrong tooth. ANYWAY... so I'm a good sport but when it got infected this fall... and I was told I had to do another surgery, a root canal from the top... I wasn't real excited. He did pay for it... which helps a little... but I'm the one sitting here with a chipmunk cheek and 6 or 7 stitches in my gums. OH WELL. Remember my NY resolution... not to complain! So, I probably cheated on it a little in this post, but it's about time to cheat on resolutions don't you think?
So... Apico surgery, dealing with over 1100 boxes of girl scout cookies sorting etc... (Oh, forgot to mention that in adition to marathon mom.. i'm also cookie mom for Olivia's daisy girl scout troop :)
3 snow days, a kid who puked the middle of the night TWICE this week (once on my pillow) and now poop on the wall!!! Never a dull moment I tell you!
Heather, what an amazing attitude! You have wiped buns for years and still have more years coming up but, how cheerful to say, whats a wall? Seriously, what a week you had- good job marathon mom.
