One of those days

I should be folding laundry right now. But after “one of those days” I just needed to do something else. Something that I had time for before I had a baby. So here I am. 
Today was the first time where I distinctly noticed a lack of desire to be a Mom. My adorable wee one was something I wanted to put away for a bit and come back to when I was ready.
I am entitling today “the day of poo”. Josiah has been battling a diaper rash so we typically give him naked time on a towel while we eat breakfast. Normally, if he hasn’t pooped for a bit I will skip it. I should have skipped it today… but I thought, “I have to eat fast anyways to go walking with the church ladies. What are the odds that he will poop in the 10 minutes it takes to make and eat breakfast?” EPIC FAIL. Apparently, the odds are good.

We just started putting Josiah in a booster seat during meal time. He gets toys to play with although I think I will start him on some solids soon. He is showing signs of being ready… So while I made my yummy lunch of grilled cheese on sourdough bread (mmmmmmmmmmm) I had him in his new toy from my friend, Kathe. Once my grilled cheese was ready I took him out of the exer-saucer and put him in the booster seat. During this process I told him, “Did you fart? cause it smells like poop” Sure enough. Poop everywhere. My one saving grace was that I somehow managed to not get any on me! YAY! So by the time I cleaned him up I was starving. Starving so much that I didn’t bother moving, let alone cleaning up, the rest of the poop.

I never got angry throughout this pooping experience. (FYI, Dinner was poop free!!!) Just tired. Nick started school today so between classes and work he was gone from 6:30am till midnight – thirty. 
I wanted someone else to clean up my boy. Someone else to clean up the house, dishes, and laundry. So I’ll settle for doing what I can and leaving the rest till tomorrow. Besides, when it’s all said and done God has blessed me with a wonderful little boy that I love dearly. Who wouldn’t?
