Motherhood, it is a funny thing. No one really tells you exactly how much time you will spend covered in bodily fluids and sometimes even solids. Today was one of those days. The kind only another Mother knows or a witness. Myles (my middle son, who’s 3) drags in the littlest, Liam. “He’s stinky. Liam is stinky, REALLY stinky. You need to fix this Mom.” Myles states. Liam holds himself stiff and will not walk, so I pick him up. Perfect, he is wet and yes, REALLY stinky. Weird that he is wet. Uh oh, I notice before the laying him down that his bottom is diaper-less. He is wearing my favorite children’s jammies, Carters Footie “Blanket Sleeper”. I recall pre-Motherhood, saying how ugly I thought these were and that I would NEVER make MY child wear those. This of course was in my, “I am never having children phase.” Giggle.
They are my favorite for a hundred reasons and today’s event makes 101 reasons.
As I start to unzip, I can see that this is getting ugly… shitty actually, literally. I move this situation to my Moms shower (remember, we are still homeless and staying at my Moms). Thankfully these unzip and come off from the feet. It would have been a horrific scene to pull overhead. Ugh. Saucy chunks. All contained within the legs and the footies. Thank you dear Carters for the rescue. I am sad to say, these jammies have become a casualty to this Huggies failure. Lucky for me they are $7 and after a fast cost analysis (where we are going these warm fuzzies are unnecessary) they and all their contents from last nights dinner, went into a trash bag. Damn Velcro on the diaper waist. It happens. And sometimes, it happens like this.
Just a fun Mommy moment I thought I would share ;)
