**it happens....

sorry guys. i don't cuss...normally...but i think i can get a free bee today. so...**it happens. Literally! for those easily grossed out you might want to skip this post entirely. so caleb's been napping great and going down for bed great! now that we made his nap early he's going to bed by 7 and sleeping in till well past seven! yay! anyway....we did a lot of outside play this morning and a walk on his bike...me happily thinking to myself, he'll def. take a good nap today (he's been doing 2-3 hour naps everyday the past couple weeks, i've been having to wake him up even). he even did his pre nap dump...i thought wow! we're def. on the right track today! my hunker dorry self was pleased as peaches (especially since daddy wasn't able to come home for lunch today). things were going well. both boys were quiet by 1 so i went and laid down ( i could still hear caleb pitter pattering around in his room...but i figured he'd eventually nod off) i woke up a half hour later (my usual pm snooze time) and thought i'd blog a little. all of a sudden caleb was at the door...strange...i figured he'd been playing for a bit and would go back to sleep-or he'd fallen asleep already and taken a really short nap (30 min cat nap ;( the worst)). i figured i'd let him stay in till his usual time 2:30 and then i'd go get him.....it got quiet for another half hour and then he was back at the door so i went in and got him. it'd been his usual 2 hours.

brace yourself (or actually) i wish i could have! i walked in and it reeked! seriously reeked. which it normally does after a poo...but  something felt diff. about this reek. like it had actually gotten on something. i went further into the room to investigate....and this my friends is a true glimpse into motherhood at its finest. "what do you do all day?" they ask... they wonder... i used to wonder myself sometimes..back in my carefree college girl days. oh how those seasoned mothers must have laughed. nope...until you're in the daily to do...you won't fully understand the sacrifice, the extending of yourself beyond all you ever thought....and you'll def. never imagine some things you'll find yourself doing...like today....never once did i rosily picture motherhood as knees down on floor, hands scrubbing brown carpet, poo smells surround me, naked toddler next to me, and bag full of brown, curtains stained satin, and blinds broken with chunks of **it. it happens! oh...yes..it happens. never underestimate the power of a quiet toddler my friends!
needless to say the next half hour was spent giving a smelly toddler a bath to scrub poo stained hands. it was spent scrubbing stained poo carpet from muddy poo footprints...and it was spent washing on hot curtains and sheets and little baby doll who all came to the sad fate of poo (should i even mention the fact that sheets were already washed on monday!)

all you can do in situations like this, when the **it hits the fan...is to clean up the mess...and move on.

to most...this pictures looks like a perfectly cleaned room. it looks clean and fresh and cute (if i don't say so myself) but look closely...notice the missing poo stained curtains and blinds? most would never know...
but now you know. you know the entire story behind this picture i took today. i now have a great excuse to go to target and get some new (not broken from little toddler hands) blinds. and that really is probably the only good thing that came from all this hullabaloo....well and maybe a clean toddler and carpets.

soo....that is what we do all day...we clean **it and it keeps us plenty busy :)

please feel free to share you're most glamorous motherhood moments with me today. i could use them!
