No one said it would be glamorous...
... I just didn't know so many bodily fluids would be involved. I am amazed every day at what my life as a stay-at-home-mom holds. I should have named this blog, My Life with Throw-up and Poop. I will make a little list of some of the highlights of my day:
1). I was up until 2:00 this morning in a state of emergency, transferring files over to my external hard drive because my computer was infected with a nasty little virus last night. From a BABY T-SHIRT SITE. I mean, come on, it wasn't even like I was looking at something fun like porn.
2). I've cleaned up puke not once, not twice, but three times. There is nothing like revisiting chocolate milk and hot dogs the second time. Or third. Actually, it was while compiling this list that the third incident occurred... this time we lucked out and the vomit landed on the leather ottoman.
3). I've taken someone's rectal temperature. Need I say more?
4). I've been on hold with the pediatrician's office for over 30 minutes waiting to talk to the nurse about why my 3 year old has been running a temperature, had green snot pouring from his nose, had a hacking cough, glued-together eyes, and intermittent vomiting for about a week. Only to be told that it really isn't a concern until it has been going on for THREE weeks.
5). I'm pretty sure I haven't brushed my teeth, but I've been so busy fighting computer viruses and cleaning vomit off my cute Pottery Barn rug, I really can't remember.
6). My kids DID get fed lunch. At 3:12 pm. Wow, can we say Mother of the Year?
7). My kids got lunch, and I had 3 pieces of bruschetta and a handful of gummy bears. There is nothing like a healthy and well-balanced diet for the nursing mother.
8). I'm sure I could continue this list to infinity, but alas, my children and husband need someone to feed them dinner. I always secretly hope it won't be me.
Sorry no picture this time. I'm afraid to load any pictures onto my computer with the current state it is in. I might go look at Macs tomorrow. Sniff, sniff.
