A Week in the Life of a Mommy

Being a mom is both fun and challenging. This week has been one of those that is on the more challenging side. Sometimes you just aren't ready for what your little ones throw at you...

This week I have:

• been asked, "Mommy, do monkeys have big tongues?" anyone know the answer??
• been waiting in the line at the grocery store, when my first born child looks at the lady in line behind us and says in a voice for all to hear, "That lady looks really angry!!" I just ignored him so I didn't bring anymore attention to the subject...talked about it later in private.
• been thrown up on in the middle of the night courtesy of my second born son.
• cleaned throw up off of the floor twice, again courtesy of Jonas
• cleaned throw up off of my couch pillows....he doesn't have stomach flu, he's just coughing so hard that he pukes....can't wait for that stupid smog to lift.
• walked into the bathroom and found poo in the sink....ah this is a fun story. So Carson found a little box that a recent Scentsy order had come in and took it into the bathroom with him (unkown to me, of course). He proceeded to go potty in the box. When I found him in the bathroom, there was pee all over the floor because it was leaking out of the box, and he had thrown the box into the toilet. Even better, he had dumped out the poop into the sink trying to get rid of it. I must admit I was a little unhappy and may or may not have yelled, "Carson, you know where we go potty! There's a toilet right there!!"
• had to fish (no pun intended) used paper towel out of the sting-ray touch pool at the aquarium yesterday.
• found grapes all over my couch and my dear Carson sitting there trying to saw the grapes in half with his plastic hand saw.
• been asked a million times, "Mommy, does ketchup make you fat? Does cookies make you fat? Does water make you fat? Does carrots make you fat?" You get the idea. He's well aware of Mommy's changing eating habits and work out routines.
• been bitten while nursing...can you say O-U-C-H!!
• had a runny nose smeared all over my shirt and face.
• been up in the middle of the night running a hot shower to add steam to the air for my sick boys.
• picked up a knocked over garbage can, Jonas likes to push over anything he can crawl to.
• This happened to Jeff, but its funny anyway...Carson was using the potty when he called for help. When Jeff walks in Carson says,"Daddy, I dropped it." So now the obvious question is what did he drop...he moved off of the potty to reveal "Jack" his little toy tractor sitting on top of a pile of poop. So thankful Jeff answered that call for help!!!!!
• Out of all the things that have happened this week, the best...snuggling with the world's two cutest little men!! Gotta love both the good and the bad about motherhood!
