Our evening took the first twist in the downward spiral around 4:50 shortly after I arrived home with the tots. Our neighbor had popped over to chat and the kids naturally went about their playing. Well, my almost 4 year old has this thing where she will hold her bladder until absolute bursting if it means that she can stay outside and play with friends for a minute more. Anyway, as soon as her friends headed home she ran to the door (which is still locked from the day) and yelled that she had to "go". Frantically I tossed the hubby-man the keys to open the door only to look over and see the guilty tot straddling an imaginary line and peeing a river in our garage. Fun! All over her new shoes too.
Trying to shake that off, I helped get supper around and prayed for a good night. I took off for work and rushed home as soon as my meeting was over in the hopes of catching little man before he went down for the night. Let's just say the evening had not gone well..... at all.
Long story short this is what went down over the course of 2 hours:
* C spilled her milk all over the carpet at dinner.
* C.A. had back poo that creeped out of his pants and all over his back and the baby bouncer.
* C knocked over a glass torch lap in the living room which shattered into a hundred million pieces just
as I was walking in the door. When I said, "Could you tell me how this happened?" she had quite the
elaborate, but true, story.
Neeless to say, as a parent, just one of these events in a night can cause a bit of irritation, even some rethinking of the procreation thing. But 4 SUPER irritating kid events in one night??????? The husband looked defeated and who's to blame him........ Poor man.
This leaves me wondering..... what's your story? Has everything ever hit the fan in one night for you?
Nights like those make me want to shake my fist at J.C. Because, really?--what the fresh hell was that all about; getting dealt *all* crap in *one* night? Spacing out the nonsense would've been nice.
