May 13 - Mommy Speaks

I can't believe Mommy is sharing this with you, but here's a story she tells in her words...

I got home from picking up Katie last night & I let the dogs out. They come back inside, and I'm watching Katie playing with her toys when I look down and see Missy crapping right in front of me. I yell at her to stop and quickly shoo her outside. I pick up the nugget she had deposited on the floor. I go to the door and let the dog in the house again, and then I go to wash my hands.

I hear Katie say, "ooh" and I look at her.
(you can see where this is going)

She has her arm outstretched and something dark that was NOT a toy in it. I run to her and quickly say, "Thank You" and take the poop that I HADN'T seen on the floor out of her hand rush to put it in the toilet. I think I then started rinsing my hand and realized, "I have to get her before she puts HER hands in her mouth!" I pick her up, and in the meantime she has grabbed this cute plush frog my girlfriend gave me one year and is holding onto that with her dirty hand. I trick her into giving it to me and then try to keep her hands OUT of her mouth and start washing them. As soon as I put soap on one hand, she has it in her mouth, and when I put soap on her other hand, she does the same. At least the soap was an anti-bacterial foam and she did it in the right order, soapy hand before dirty hand. :-)

I finally get 'em at least partially washed. I then go and brush that girl's teeth!!! YUK!!!!!

To top it off, somewhere during this whole fiasco, I was vented my extreme frustration at Missy. I loudly said, "Missy, I am SO MAD AT YOU"... The volume and emotion upset Katie. I looked at her face as it started to twist into a cry.... Bad mommy!

Katie here... It just figures that something like that happened when Mommy is at her most tired. I had trouble sleeping the night before (our first night back in town), so Mom and I were both up several times Monday night!
