The morning

I offered to give the kids baths after breakfast this morning. They didn't really need it, but I thought it would make things a little easier for me. Always easier to clean up the kitchen when they're off busy somewhere else.

I got busy in the kitchen and forgot to shut the water off as soon as I wanted...so the tub was quite full.

I got busy again, and when I came back, I saw it. POOP. What was I thinking?? Gage ALWAYS poops after breakfast! WHY did I think I could be faster than his scheduled poop????

Joel is at work. Both kids are sopping wet. We wait, trapped in the bathroom (so Gage doesn't run off) for 5 minutes while the tub drains. I then, still trapped in the bathroom, have to spray the tub down and clean it out. Is there room for my belly while leaning into the tub? No.

I get the kids back in the tub, and start rushing to clean them up and get them out as fast as I can. My back is really hurting by now. Asia: "Mom - I have to poop!" Me: "You'll have to wait a minute. Let me get you washed up first." Asia: "But I have to go really bad!!"

She sits on the toilet. 30 seconds later, "Mom, I can't go." Figures...

After the kids are out of the tub and dried off, I take Gage into his bedroom to get him dressed. He gets mad that I lay him down to put his diaper on.

So he pees on me.
