Beware of the silence! Moms always warn....

Oh Please Lord have MERCY!!  

I have, had this cold, stuffy, nose and a cough for a few days but am alive.  My son this morning said he wasn't feeling good and wanted to stay home.  This is not normal for him and so he stayed home.  I could tell he was sick.  I noticed he wasn't acting well the night before.

He was in his room in bed watching cartoons.  My daughter was in her crib. I had changed her diaper and tucked her back in.  They both seemed content and relaxed.  They share a room and if they are in there together they both seem to behave better.  I was happy.

I was taking this time to try to get some peace while getting up.  I had only about 3 hours of sleep and was dragging.  I had been laughing with friends on FB through my iPhone and snuggled under blankets in a comfy LazyBoy Rocker Recliner.  For a moment, I felt peace and that all would be well today.

It was quiet and all was well.........   

~~~~~~~~~~~~WRONG~~~~~~~~~~~~~WRONG~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WRONG~~~~~~~~~~~~

(not even 15 minutes had past)

Hailey had taken off her clothes and her diaper after she pooped.  She had then proceeded to finger paint her legs, arms, crib and everything in her crib in POOP!!! 

Some how her brother did not smell or notice this even though he was but an inch away from her!!!!!! O_o  

Nathan, who fortunately is home all day, today was the first one to find this mess.  His gagging and proclamations of HORROR as he yelled, "NO...NO...NO...NO", in utter disbelief that his precious little girl was playing in her poo, had me leaping from my comfy recliner.  With blankets flying, I jump into the room and see the horrific site.

So while I bathed my poopy princess, he was getting the bedding all in the wash and running it.  Then he fed and played with the kids (kind of like herding cats) while I disinfected and removed the "shitty" artwork, my darling little girl finger painted all over her crib.

Oh Nathan and I can't get the smell out of our noses.......perhaps it is all just in our heads now.  Perhaps some coffee and time away from poop, we will recover.

If there is anything to gain from this, a great story to embarrassing the kids with when they are older and once the trauma of this Poop-tastrophy passes a whole lot of laughs.

Has my morning gotten any better?

Well I managed to make a pot of coffee and start some chicken and dumplings in my crock pot.  My Precious Princess is down for a nap with fresh bedding and my son is wondering what he will be getting for his up and coming birthday.

I think between Kids Netflix and all his apps on his iPhone, he will manage to rest and not drive us too crazy the rest of the day.

I hope....

My Two Christmas Elves!

*my son's iPhone, is not activated, it was my old phone, that is now being used as an iPod.  As if I would give a 5 or 6 yr old a smartphone to go around texting and calling his homies......  smh
