one day i'll look back and laugh, right?







This is my life in a nutshell the last couple of weeks.

Nina, poor thing, was hit in the night with diarrhea (and actually managed to poop the bed, hence the poopy pink pajamas). The next day I had to take her to the doctor to figure out what the rash was on her face. We have no insurance, so that was a lovely bill to pay after the doctor was with us all of 10 seconds, said it was impetigo, and to "just put Neosporin on it three times a day." Later that same day, while I was taking care of Nina's rash, Olivia emptied the box of cornstarch all over herself and the kitchen floor!

The day before that, Olivia splashed in the toilet, so I put her in the tub. As soon as I got her out she peed all over the carpet. Back into the tub.

A couple days later she pooped in the tub.

All the while I'm sipping ginger ale and eating ginger snaps, trying to relieve the morning sickness that seems to last all afternoon and evening. I've only gone 2 or 3 days without throwing up in the last 2 weeks. Ugh!

And Olivia has a nasty cold and is crying all the time since she is teething.

Phew! I'm not complaining, I mean, this is what I signed up for, right? To be a mom? I just thought I'd share so that you other moms could get a good laugh since we are all in the same boat. And one day we will look back on all this and laugh, right?

  1. Oh Heath! I love when moms vent because it makes me feel like I am not the only one with an imperfect life!! I just started potty training today and I am wondering why? Bria begged me for her diapers after she had an accident! Ha! I guess I will have to poke fun at her for that in the future! Get well soon sista:)
