1. Awake: 7:31AM
2. 7:32AM upon entering Xandra/Theia's room - "Mommy, I peed the bed."
3. 7:34AM, kitchen - Xandra dumps a box of packing peanuts all over the floor
4. 7:35AM, Trisha attempts to go back to bed
5. 7:36AM, Joe tells Trisha to get up, he's leaving
6. Breakfast, diaper changes, whining, and playing.
7. 9:00-10:00ish - Bathtime
7a. At one point I enter the bathroom and notice the water is murky. I excuse the murkiness in two ways: 1. our tub isn't draining, so it's not the cleanest these days (note to self, get some draino and clean the tub). 2. How many days has it been since we've had bathtime?
7b. Clean up Aliyah, Xandra & Theia (notice some yuckies in the water, even resort to using the tap water because the bathwater just seems too dirty).
7c. Take Aliyah out of bath, dry her, and clothe her. Put her down for naptime.
7d. Return to get the other children out of the bathtub to see Xandra holding the bathseat with a pile of poop in it. "Mommy, Aliyah pooped in the bathtub."
7e. Sudden realization why the water was so murky.
7f. Exit children from the bathtub. Dry them off and attempt to drain the bathtub.
7g. Bathtub drain gets clogged with poop.
7h. Look desperately for the proper drain unclogging chemicals. No luck.
7i. Get everyone dressed, carry on with the day. Periodically check the bathtub, no progress.
8. Enter the bathroom to assist Theia with pottying only to see her slip in her own pee (guess I wasn't fast enough) and get her clean shirt wet with pee.
9. Change Theia's clothes, again.
10. Clean up the bathroom floor.
11. Early lunch, early naptime.
12. Joe brings home flowers, plunges the bathtub, and gets it to drain.
On tap for tomorrow: draino and clean the bathtub.
You definitely deserved some flowers for surviving that day! :-) That was really sweet of Joe. We are in the process of surviving the stomach bug in our household...I am hoping it is a 24-hour thing!
