Well technically it started last night. I am a little emotionally exhausted and in one of those funks where I just want to tune out the world. So I let the kids stay up a little later so they'll wake up later and I'll have more time to myself in the morning. Yeah...okay! My youngest got up an hour and a half earlier than normal, and so didn't my oldest.
I didn't even get my morning time with God which makes me really cranky! I'm mean if it wasn't for God. Although I used to be sweet before I had kids...hmmm....what's up with that?
Then this morning I smelled something stinky and looked over at my son who had his diaper off. I found the diaper and there was nothing in it. So then I just thought he farted. So when I went to put the diaper back on, he had poop smear on his butt. So now I thought maybe he had to go so I rushed and put the diaper back on and thought all was well. Oh my...my naive, gullable, innocent mind. Nope...as I walked by his room, there it was. Yup...the log...the pinecone....whatever you want to call it...just sitting there like it's no big deal.
Never in a million years did I think I would yell "Don't poop on the floor!"...at least not to a human.
The other day, he decided to fingerpaint with it and as I'm putting him in the bathtub, I realized my older son went pee and missed. So now I stepped in a puddle of pee!
I'M SICK OF THESE KIDS AND THEIR BODILY FUNCTIONS!!!!!!
Anyone else have/had "waste" issues?

Yes. More times than I can count on BOTH hands!! ICK! We "curred" it by taping (packing tape) all the way around our kid's diaper so he couldn't remove it! ;D Just carefully use scissors to cut it off when you have to change them. And, in our home, its rare to just find the accident on the floor (that is a relief compared to the alternative of the "finger painting")!
Lol. I love your blog and your writing! Could`nt agree more that without time with God everything gets hard.. Greetings from Norway<3 by Lisbeth
You mean this is normal?!!
What a relief though to know I'm not the only one who deals with this!
Thanks Rosa for your kind words...I needed to hear them today!
Too funny! My oldest did this as a baby too, I am glad I am not the only one! Funny story - when he was learning to potty train I went to stay with my mom. Her poodle was also learning to potty train and the dog pooped outside my mom's bedroom door every morning without fail LOL. After a week of watching the dog my son decided he should do that too! I could hear my mom screaming Debbie come and get your child across the whole house!! LOL
totally understand.. God daily uses our kids to refine us. see my blog post this month called "i snapped" ;)!!
i used to yell at my oldest when it came to even pooping in his diaper. now that he is 11 and I am potty training my 5th baby, I remember how it affected his ability to "let it out" in the toilet. ( i think I did more damage than good!) He was 3 before he was ok with it.. his baby sister did it before him. whoops on my part. I have learned to make it a happy thing.
Be encouraged you are not alone! God give you peace and strength today! Blessings!
I just got done potty training my 22 month old, so that phrase was uttered non-stop in my house for about 3 days : )
I'd love for you to link up with my blog, http://www.lessonsfromivy.com/2012/04/being-content-in-mothering.html
Thanks ladies for making me feel normal!!!!!
ha ha! too funny! my son pooped in his bath just the other day but then, he's only 8 months so he obviously didn't know any better! ;)
My oldest did that when he was a baby!!
Talk about keeping it real. Tee hee. And all I can say is welcome to real motherhood. I have had my share of those kinds of days but God gives us much grace to get through. Thank you for linking up at What Joy Is Mine this week.
