I'll bet you know exactly what I'm talking about! Yes...it was a day of clean-ups....non stop! And with a little 15 month old, I'm sure you can only imagine.
So to start this whole day off, at 10:00 the night before I just....can you guess....a kidney stone!!!
Yep....love those! So I didn't get to bed until about 1, but then I was up every 1/2 hour on the toilet....so that was lovely! But I'm fine now. :)
Okay...so now you can feel really bad for me when everything else came the next day!....
#1...It all started with Jack pulling down & getting the lid off my huge thing of liquid blue laundry detergent....right onto my carpet in my closet! WOW....there could be nothing worse! (Seriously...Livi spilt red nail polish all over downstairs & I'd take that any day over this!)
So I literally spent almost 2 HOURS cleaning that up with a shop-vac, but it isn't even close to coming out. So seriously....if this ever happens to you....just give up from the start...don't even try!!!!! Just put a rug over and say....oh well!
#2- So during the clean-up, I drop part of the vacuum all over (lots of suds) onto my bathroom floor. So I had to go get my mop....and of course, Jack loves to play in that and make a lovely mess!!!!
#3- While I was in my closet cleaning...I realize...hey...where did Jack go!? Lo & behold....I find him in my shower....and he had just dumped out all of Brent's red body wash!!!! Luckily that one was in the shower!
AHHHHH!!!!
So then- I get a last minute call from Oakley's music teacher saying that he got student of the month out of his whole school for music! I was so proud of him!
(That was the only good part of the day!) :) So.........
#4- Right as I'm ready to leave I realize...hey...didn't I just put Jack's shoes on!? Where'd they go!? Sure enough...I found them...and him...outside in a mud pit...his shoes burried & stuck in the muddy water!
Then right when I think I've got things under control & the kids are almost in bed & bathed....
#5- All of a sudden I smell poop....on me! And I realize as I picked Jack up that is wasn't in his diaper, but all over his shirt!!!! After playing detective, I track it down in the bathroom & realize it was Livi's....not Jack's....from a diahrrea accident on the bathroom floor!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!

Oh, wow...yes I've had those crazy mom days, but nothing like THAT!!!
Man Emily, I am crackin' up over here! Sorry to laugh at your troubles but it is all too familiar! Hey, good luck to you guys with Brent's new band, hope it takes off and he's the next big thing!
That's impressive. Can't say I've had to deal with anything quite that terrible, especially not all in a row like that. Poor Emily. Hope you're feeling better....(and yay, Oakley!!!)
That is so sad. Some how an entire thing of liquid laundry soap dumped out in my laundry room about 2 weeks ago. I took me 2 hours to get it all up and out from under the dryer but it was on tile. Having lived through that...I am SO SORRY!
Yep you get the award!! And Brent wasn't even there to witness the crazieness. They chose the right day to leave! :) Hope today was better for you!!
Oh Em, that's too bad and too funny. You can laugh about it now, right? The poop on the outfit...yuck. At least the other messes were soapy messes. I think you deserve some ice cream or something!
What a day! Those days are horrible. You need a big bowl of ice cream or chocolate! I'm glad you survived....give yourself a couple of weeks and you'll be laughing.
Don't ya just love those days?! I totally feel ya!
Wow ... I understand your pain. I have those days often also. Little ones ... geez ... what do you do with them? I was so glad to hear from you - YEA!!! I'm so glad that we still cross paths every so often. You and your family are so wonderful ... it would stink to lose contact. Now we have our blogs! I hope you are doing well! Keep in touch!
oh dear...usually when i hear of these kind of days, mine is just around the corner. wish me luck!
was that THE mrs. leigh that awarded oakley? that is an honor not to go unnoticed! way to go oakley!
em, i hope you have a better day tomorrow!!!
Oh man that stinks, those are the times when I do a lot of yelling. I'm not necessarily yelling at my kids, sometimes I just need to yell :) I don't even know that it makes me feel better, it's just necessary, like when I gave birth to Belle (the only one without an epidural). I just found your blog after reading Brent's Band Blog, but with days like these I think you need to read my blog, it would make you feel better :) I'll send you an invite.
Don't you just love days like those?! I am so glad to see that someone else deals with crazy things like that also, and remains sane! :) Your kids are way cute, Emily.
