Just one moment

I have to share just one moment of my day yesterday...Wednesday 25th. I woke up very sick with a sore throat, glands the size of baseballs, cold sweats, mucus filled nose and chest, just feeling TERRIBLE. I tried to sleep as much as possible (with two kids). Caleb was awesome. He watched movies and played most of the day by himself. When Riley and I were sleeping, he was cautious to be quiet. GREAT KID!!

Okay, here's the moment.....

Caleb goes running into the bathroom and I hear, "Mom I poop mess". You never want to hear the words "poop" and "mess" in the same sentence. I go in there to find that he's had some diarrhea and it's splashed out of the toilet onto the floor (and he may have missed the potty because it was also on his undies). I run into the kitchen to get paper towels and cleaning spray. I'm wiping up the bathroom floor, cold sweats dripping down my face, feeling like I'm going to pass out from either bending over or the smell, and I hear Riley give out this scream. I go running into the kitchen with poop covered paper towels in my hand and find Riley crawling out from under the little kitchen set Caleb has. He was trying to pull the water facet off and the whole thing came down on top of him. (thankfully it's very lite) He was so mad, once I gave him the water facet (which is meant to come off of the kitchen set), he went off on his merry way. At that point I forgot that Caleb was still in the bathroom, until I hear "Mom, is Riley okay?" only it's not coming from the bathroom, it's coming from right behind me!! Caleb has come out to see what had happened and with him, poop drips....... from the bathroom, down the hallway, into the kitchen.

That's my moment. I think everyday an award should go out to moms who have made it through another day with their sanity in tact and the kids snuggled safely into bed.
