Have you ever had periods of time that everything falls apart? With a toddler they occur frequently when we are trying to get out of the house or get something done on a schedule.
This takes the cake and I had to share why I have surrendered my sanity. Tonight is dh's last night of call as a fellow is it is appropriate to go out with a bang. At dinner Avery started crying. I am trying to decide what to do because we only have 2 diapers left and had planned on running out to the store following dinner. Avery felt warm and turned out to have a 102 temp so I got ready to give her a bath. Then the fun really begins.
We're in the bathroom while I am having a potty emergency myself, she starts pulling out all the stuff from under the vanity and handing them to me. Then she pulls out her diaper and promptly urinates on the floor. I am trying to clean up the mess on the floor, clean out the bathtub and keep her from stepping in the pee or touch the cleaning stuff in the bathtub. Meanwhile, the phone rings. It turns out to be my neighbor who had a glass window fall on her head. I run outside with my whining runny-nosed, naked child to look at my neighbor's bleeding head. It didn't look like she needed stiches so she felt better.
We get through the bath even though she cried the entire time. We got some advice from daddy about her symptoms and finally got her to sleep. Things are never dull! On nights like this I wish my husband had a 9 to 5 job!
