What happened to me?

This morning on my drive into work, my two year old decided that today he would take the opportunity to throw the worlds biggest fit. OK, yes I know it isn't a "decision" two year olds' are manic and they can loose all since of reason with a flip of a switch. His fit lasted 30 minutes. We did have a really nice 5 minutes together before I had to leave him with his teacher at daycare.
As he is having his melt down I am thinking to myself why, what did I do wrong? Why haven't I learned after the 3 previous to him to turn on that two year old selective hearing? Why haven't I learned by now to take control of these situations and get them under control before it gets to this point? I should be a pro at this by now. After 4 kids this two year old should be ready for military school, right? Maybe I am tired, have I given up? Have I finally teetered over to that side of insanity and this is the repercussion?

Where is my head at!

I went shopping today at Target and get all the way out to the car, almost in the car and relize that I have carried out the Target basket with me! How embarassing! Life is so different these days for me that I just don't know where my head is. Ok here is a little secret....before things changed I still didn't know where my head was!

Multi uses for puppy piddle pads

Tonight I took my two year old, 6 year old and 9 year old over to grandpa's house. It was the spur of the moment trip. Grandpa lives about 45 minutes away so we had to run out the door to fit this trip into our nightly routine. Yeah I said routine, but if you have read my previous posts routine really doesn't exist right now. Life has been a bit hectic since desperate momma has gone back to work. Routine has gone right out that window. So tonight when I decided to load up three out of my four children and run to grandpa's it really didn't matter that I was disrupting the normal flow of our chaotic lives.In haste I completely forgot the diaper bag. What happens when you forget the diaper bag? MURPHY'S LAW happens! We get to my dad's and about 15 minutes into our visit my 9 year old yells,"Mommy he's poopy!" Now for some reason every time we go to grandpa's house my two year old makes a monumental mess out of himself! I guess it is his way of leaving grandpa a lasting present. So here we are out in the country without a diaper in site for miles. Thank goodness for Sophie, grandpa's new Pomeranian puppies' inability to hold herself! He had piddle pads ready to rescue me from a desperate trip to the grocery store! We took that piddle pad and wrapped it around his tiny little bottom and then proceeded to tape him up with packing tape. Nothing was going to get through this diaper! I don't think we have ever laughed so hard! When we returned home my two year old didn't waste anytime showing daddy his, "Puppy Diaper." I just love my two year old!!! I can't wait for him to start dating...oh the stories I am going to have to tell!

Addicted to blogging

I absolutly love this whole blogging idea. The person who thought that one up.....huh! I find myself through out the day thinking of ideas to capture my audience. I actually think it makes me a nicer person, haha! Wonder if my hubby thinks so.

Cat on fire

We have a new addition to our family. His name is Snickers. He is a long haired cat with a huge fluffy beautiful tail. Snickers is the neighborhood stray that has decided to take a permanent place in our home. It's really alright though, because he killed the mouse that had been terrorizing me for weeks! Within 3 days of his arrival he took care of that nasty little rodent. Snickers has a habit of getting on the counter and drinking out of the faucet. He loves running water. He loves it so much he will actually jump into the shower with you so he can catch a sip or few of fresh running water. This past weekend I bought a candle. Without thinking I lit the candle and placed it on the counter next to Snickers favorite watering hole. Not too long after the candle had been it, I started to smell a awful burning odor. It took me a moment to realize that Snickers tail was dangling right over the candle and his tail was just about to go up in smoke! I ran over to him and started to pat out his poor tail. I ran over to the sink and ran some water on it. He now has a big chunk of hair missing in the middle of his tail. Poor Snickers he is none the wiser. All he cared about was drinking out of that faucet! He did stay outside all night, hmmm he might have been a bit upet with me.

Poop

Lovely title huh! Well that is what I was thinking this morning at 6am when I was trying to get ready for work. Usually on a normal morning my two year old sleeps until I am just about ready to walk out the door. I wake him up just early enough to throw some clothes on him, stick a honey bun in his hand and rush both of us out the door. Not today! He woke up soon as my shower was over. I left the water on and put him in. As he played in the water I finished getting ready for work. Right as I was putting the finishing touches on my hair I hear, "Mommy, poop!" I turn around and to my horror the shower is covered in poo! I scrambled to clean the shower and my little boy. I took him out of the shower, wrapped a towel around him and finished cleaning up the shower. As I was finishing the shower I hear again, "Mommy, poop!" He had another blow out all over the tiles and up the door. It is just absolutly amazing how such a tiny little body can cause such complete and utter distruction. So my two year old is now on his third shower in 30 min! I had to clean up the tile, wall and door and the shower again! Note to self mandrin oranges bananas and milk make for not a good combo in two year olds tummies!

P.S. I made it to work on time!
