Okay, let me just tell you. I go out with all the boys all the time. It's not that big of a deal. I mean, sure they have their moments, but well....let's just say.....they didn't do nothing horribly wrong yesterday!!! But yet my day was by far the worst day of this year, maybe even last year too. So let me get started....
It started off with a not so good day in school here at home. Blake was having a hard time counting by 5's. He would say..."5, 10, 50," instead of what we all know to be "5, 10, 15."
Well, needless to say, it was a little maddening because no matter how many times we would go over it....well, he still said, "5,10,50." (I think it has more to do with his enuciation than with his actual brain power.) I mean it was so bad that I, of course, lost my patience and sent Blake to his room while I snuck in to my room to call Eric and complain about the whole thing.
Then we went to Hobby Lobby where I treated myself to some scrapbook stuff (it was on sale). Then off to Meijer to go grocery shopping!! Now, picture this.....when we go grocery shopping....we have to have one of those bench carts so that 2 kid can sit on the bench, one walks, and the baby rides in the cart seat. Steering one of these is like steering a mac truck if you've never had any instruction. It's huge and horrible to steer.
Anyway, we get through half of our shopping when the "smell" starts. I check the boys and didn't really notice anything major, so just checked it off as one of the kids being a little gassy. I notice this horrible smell in the next aisle as well, as did all the kids......then they all started pointing to Kaleb screaming, "EWWWWWWW!!!" SO I look at Kaleb and see his fingers covered with a substance that looks like really thick coffee with creamer in it. It was gross. SO here I am with a mega cart filled with groceries, 3 boys, and one with poop all over him. I'm trying to keep Kaleb from touching anything and trying to push the cart to the nearest bathroom too, oh, and I'm trying to keep track of 3 other boys also.
We find the bathroom. Well, it never fails, the one time I need wet wipes, is the one time that I don't have them. Kaleb's poop is up to the back of his neck. He is covered in places where there shouldn't be poop! I have poop all over my shirt. So I strip him, sit him on the floor, get the other boys to sit still in a corner of the bathroom. There is poop on the floor, and yet I HAVE NO WET WIPES to fix the problem. ARGHHHH!! I figured it couldn't get any worse.
WRONG!! Well, I figure, it's a bathroom....even if I have no wet wipes, I can use wet paper towels. WRONG AGAIN!!!! Meijer does not have paper towels in their bathrooms, only those automated hand dryer things. Furthermore, they have no trash cans either, only those little trash receptacles for feminine napkins and such. SO the diaper when in one of those. And Kaleb......went into the SINK!! I mean, what other choice did I have? SO I am washing my son in the sink. The poop was in a thick layer on his back and butt which caused the sink to back up. Poop was everywhere, and the only thing I had to clean it all up was with WET TOILET PAPER. Doesn't work to well. Did I mention the big pile of poop on the floor from where he was sitting? WEll eventually I got it all cleaned up with the we toilet paper. SO tragedy over. Poor Kaleb is still naked, however, with only a diaper on.
So I figure, I still have half a cart, I might as well finish shopping. People are starting at me and Kaleb as if I'm a horrible mom for having him out in the cold without clothes on. I finally make it to the frozen food aisle, which means I 'm almost done. As I'm turning into the aisle, the cart get caught on the WINE DISPLAY knocking over a lot of wine and breaking a few all over the floor. So not good..... Blake keeps asking me...."Mommy, what did you knock that over for??" "WEll, I don't know, son.....maybe because I'm driving the granddaddy of all shopping carts!!!!!" ARGHHHH! It was craziness!!!!!!
Oh, and when we were finally going out to the car, the Valentine's balloon that I bought for my mom......flew away even though it had one of those weights on it. Needless to say....it was just not my day!!!
(Just so you know, I did buy a new outfit for Kaleb to wear before I left the store, so he wasn't actually naked when we left. I'm not that bad of a mother.)
