Poop Happens

OH MY GOODNESS!!! It was quite a night. I don't know why this is even blog worthy, however, I must tell SOMEONE.... so here goes.

We had a glorious day at home. Marky had a play date with her friend Cassidy, and Maddie was over at her friend McKenna's house (Cassidy's little sister). The girls played beautifully together, Michael took a long nap, 2 friends stopped by, worked a little, supper out with the kiddos, getting ready to put up my feet and relax when... Meredith comes to me and says that there's poop in the potty upstairs. So, I just told her that was ok, and that she could flush it. WELLL.... Minutes later, my entire evening began to unravel. The toilet and ALL of it's contents were all over the bathroom floor. I've never encountered ANYTHING so gross. I used up all of my towels and a roll of paper towels trying to clean the mess up. It was all over the rugs, the towels, my shoes, I think you get the picture. 90 minutes later, the bathroom was all cleaned up with bleach, bleach, and more bleach, and the towels and rugs were in the washing machine. In all my years of mothering, and this WAS a child-related incident, I haven't ever had to do anything worse.

Well, Marky and Cassidy helped me get over the incident with their sweetness and their laughter. Meredith fell asleep watching a movie and Michael laid right down for sleeping. So even though we had a disgusting interruption, the day ended glorious too. However... I think that I am going to have 2 very tired little people tomorrow morning because it is 12:30 and those girls are STILL up!!!

This mama is tired, tired, tired. No more work for me today. Nighty night.
