Because of the snow my husband had off work. That gave us time to sit down and devise a budget. In doing so we found that we could save a little on some of our bills. Because of that I called our phone service and requested a new bundling package. Because of that I received a huge box in the mail with instructions for activating a new phone line. Since technology is the devil I ended up with a pile of cords, a non-working phone, and the urge to kick something. That was even after a repairman stopped by.
Because of the snow I have been stuck inside. Without a phone. Because of the snow my older son has also been home all week going stir crazy. Because of the snow I wasn't able to go buy diapers when I saw the stash getting low.
Because of that I opted to use a diaper I had on hand that is two sizes too big. What's the worst that can happen? Because of that decision I came into my son's room after nap time to a disaster of epic proportions. Without being too graphic lets just say it appeared that nature called...all over his crib. Because of a too-big diaper my son was standing up with a diaper half-off in a crib that I am considering taking to the city dump. Because of my son's tendency to walk around all four sides of his crib and touch every spindle, I have just spent the last 30 minutes scrubbing every inch of his white crib. All of this while my other son walked around asking for a snack (seriously, who can have an appetite after seeing that!?) and singing 'doo doo every where." And, it was truly, everywhere. Note to self: Activia yogurt is not a good snack for 12 month olds.
Because of the events that have occurred here in the last hour I am seriously considering going back to work full-time. I am angry at the snow. I am grossed out by what I swear I can still smell on my hands. I am amazed by what being a mom entails.
On the bright side I have fully Lysoled, dusted, and mopped one room in this house! I also have one child bathed! Because of today I am treating myself to a glass of wine before 5:00.
Please tell me you all have had a day like this before?!
Oh yes...and it also involved a crapload of....
