Fun times

I thought we were gonna make it through the day without any real drama.

We had an awesome morning at bible study. Kyle and Karis spent the whole time playing outside with Mr. Al and I was able to really focus on our study. I must say I love all the ladies and like the fact that there is such a range in age and wisdom.

We spent a quiet afternoon at home, yes! I said quiet. Karis took a nice long nap and Kyle was busy watching Tangled. I got to clean! Everything was going perfectly and the kids got up in time for me to get my long run in before Colson got home from school. We managed to get all our homework done by 4:30.

We are not usually this good with everything, but I had a spouse meeting tonight and I really was looking forward to an evening away from the duties of a mom. I had it set up pretty good so when Mark got home at 6:00 pm he wouldn't have much to worry about. I should have known when I hear a child screaming from the bathroom at 4:45 that he needed to be wiped and I needed to hurry because, "sumpin was wong". I was attempting to do a bit of yoga at the time, however I did have a little munchkin crawling all over me so I grab her go and see about this commotion. I walk in and see Kyle naked sitting on the potty with poop all over the seat and his legs. There is a big pile of toilet paper beside the toilet.

I was thinking not a big deal we can clean this up when he says, "uh mommy, der is poop on the foor. See it's under de shirt and all in my pants." Sure enough, I look and he is telling the truth. He apparently had an accident and tried to take his clothes off and the poop fell out of his pants landed all over my NEW RUG and then HE STEPPED in it with his new shoes. At this point, I should have known it was not gonna be a good night. I go ahead and think positive after a little bit of losing my temper and put Kyle in Karis in the bath. Yes, I had to include Karis in this bath because she thought she was going to be mommy's little helper with the mess; and I'm sure you can all imagine how that went. But at least the kids would now be bathed for Mark and that would help him out tonight.

I attempt to call my husband, oh maybe 23 times and he doesn't seem to want to talk to me since he won't answer the phone. I go ahead and get ready because he knows he has to be home by 6:00. We talked about this last night, and I'm pretty sure this morning too. So 6:00 rolls around, 6:30, 7:00, and the phone rings at 7:15. He forgot to tell me he wasn't landing until 6:00 and wouldn't make it home in time. Of course, I wasn't going to make it because it is 7:15, and the meeting is 30 minutes away and after all, it started at 6:30.

Oh, he did ask if I wanted to go to dinner since I was ready. But really, why would I want to take 3 kids to dinner when it's close to bed time? I think I would rather play in poop. Oh wait, I already did that today!

You gotta love the life of the Marine Corps wife. Everyday is an adventure and I am blessed to be able to stay home with my babies. I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
