earlier this week i was lamenting that waking up in a pool of baby throw up may be one of the major unpleasantries of motherhood. (dirty little secret number one.)enter yesterday. one of those days.
i broke a glass taking it out of the fridge. it was full of milk, which left me wondering, 'how am i going to sop up all this milk and still clean up all the broken glass before olivia stuffs a piece of glass in her mouth?' (of course this happens like ten minutes after my maid left for the day. and just mopped.) nothing new breaking those, my heart is not tied to my glasses. not like my heart is tied~
later that day, i broke my first piece of butler's pantry.
i'm a big believer in not saving the special plates (except my grandmothers china, that is special occasion only!) and i use my set for everyday~
so no suprise then that it broke, full of pico de gallo, coming out of the refrigerator.
sad for the loss of the pico,
sad for the loss of the lenox.
then. (this is other dirty secret.)
i woke up this morning in a pool of baby diarrhea.
and by morning, i meant 3 am, because that is when it happened.
i cleaned the up the perp and threw a towel on the spot,
and slept in it until morning, when i peeled back the towel, the sheet, the mattress cover, and the mattress itself,
and bleached the heckoutofitall. (not to mention the scrubbing liv and i got this morning.)
and bleached the heckoutofitall. (not to mention the scrubbing liv and i got this morning.)
i have since changed sixteen of the grossest (fullest) diapers of my life.
funny, just this week i've been thinking
it's time for olivia to sleep in her crib.

oh no ra, that all just stinks! seems like when it rains it POURS! i think most mothers can relate though. i love that you just covered up the dirty spot (i've done that before)!
Oh no! Poor livi, i heard it's going around, hope it doesn't come our way! I feel your pain, 3 a.m. i would've slept on the towel too!
Two nights ago I woke up soaked. Somehow my baby's diaper came off. It was completely dry. His pj's, legs, bed sheets, quilt, etc. were drenched. Sigh! Do you have any good advice how to get these little guys to stay in their own crib/bed?! I'm open to anything!
It happens to the best of us. Love the fact that you just threw a towel over it!! I have to admitt I've done that too. HA.
Oh the joys of Motherhood! I'm sorry.
funny that we have all been there (and by there, i mean, throwing a towel down.) :)
rae, i'm not the one to ask. i'm not a cry-it-out person~ sooo it took me two years to get my oldest in her own bed! i think just like everything- potty training comes to mind- it's harder on mommy to stick to the routines and set the boundaries. (p.s., she still sleeps in a toddler bed, in my room.) i'm the one who needs advice! you tell me!
