To Laugh or To Cry...

I feel like being a mom this thought often comes to my mind...
Should I Cry or just Laugh?
Depending on my psychological state and the events of the day sometimes I do both.

Today I was laughing for the most part:)

My day started off great! Good workout, good breakfast, but after that it all went down hill... First I found out the hard way that I was out of wipes, there was not a single wipe in my entire house! How does this happen? I'm not sure but it wasn't good. Not only do I not have any wipes but I do not have any paper towels (they are considered a luxury in my house) so I need a plan C. For those that don't know we live in B's Grandparents house and they happen to have a baday connected to their toilet so I decided to sit Isaac on the toilet and see how this works...NOT good! Let's just say it backfired on me! I could Laugh or Cry at this point and I chose Laugh. So I get Isaac cleaned up and then we get ready for the bath...

Well in the first 3 minutes of the bath Luke PUKES everywhere. So know his bath is full of white baby puke chunks, lovely, so I do my best to strain it out and then I get over it. FYI Luke and Isaac bath together I just put Luke's baby tub in the big tub and Isaac plays next to it. It works quite nicely. ANYWAY then about 10 minutes into the bath I see some brown chunks floating in Luke's tub, hmm this is not good! So I hurry and get Luke out of his tub and hurry and get Isaac out of the tub and yep sure enough Luke pooped lots in his tub. So THAT was fun cleaning! at this point I could again laugh or cry and believe it or not I'm still laughing.

Then we get Luke asleep and Isaac and I decide to color. So we are coloring with our crayons and Isaac says "Hey Mom" I say "ya Isaac" He says " I wanted to be like Wesley so I ate a crayon" (side note: last time we babysat my nephew Wesley he ate 2 crayons, apparently he does this often) I say "was it good?" he says "no it was yucky" I said "did you swallow it?" he says "no I spit it all over the floor" and sure enough there are semi chewed crayon chunks all over the floor. I said " Isaac lets not eat crayons anymore Ok?" and he says "Ok, lets just eat food". Again Laugh or Cry? I'm still laughing but not as much, I'm getting tired:)

Well Luckily it's not over yet! Then My mom calls and I am talking to her on the phone, about 1 minute into my conversation, I realize that my house is quiet and Isaac is no longer in the kitchen. So I hang up with my mom and call for Isaac he comes in and says "mom I got IT on the walls and the floor and the door." I say "what did you get on the walls and the floor and the door?" He says "come see, I got IT on the floor". So I go follow him into the bathroom and he has squirted a whole tube of toothpaste all over the bathroom! haha! I wasn't laughing but I wasn't crying either. I just sighed and said ok I'll clean it up later. It's nap time.

All of this happened before noon today. Luckily my afternoon was much less eventful because I think I would have been in tears if there had been anymore!

All in a days work! I don't think I'm paid enough for this job! But I wouldn't trade it for anything!
