Goo All Over
My deadline is finally over, so I have room to breath. Actually, after working 6 hours on Sunday and 12 yesterday, I would just like to kick back a little and share experiences.
We all know that motherhood involves a lot of different types of goo that must be dealt with. There is the white spit-up goo that covers the shoulders and some times runs down the cleavage. There is also the yellow, green or pumpkin orange poo goo.
Friday night, Lexi decided to share lots of bodily functions with me. It started off when I was feeding her. There was an explosion. Orange goo came blasting out the back of her diaper. Fortunately, she was only wearing a onesie, but the back was soaked with goo. It even got on my pants. So, I scooped her up and headed for the bathroom. While I sat there trying to figure out how to get it off without smearing it all over in her hair, Steve came in. He wanted to cut it off, so we did. Then, I laid her face down across my knees to wipe off her back. Suddenly, I felt a warm trickle down my right leg and saw another explosion of spit-up on my left leg. Talk about dirty pants. Steve thought the whole thing was pretty gross, but I just laughed. It is all part of being a mom.
By the way, the fun didn't end there and I obviously didn't learn from that experience. The next day while we were visiting Steve's mom in the hospital, another stinky explosion got all over my jean skirt. Of course, I did not have a change of clothing for me. We were 2 hours away from home with a whole day of visiting ahead. I washed the spot with soap and water and got out the mess, but had to walk around with a huge wet spot for a while. Good thing we were in the city of senior citizens where things like that don't bother them and they are very distracted by babies anyway.
Hey - Should I be sharing these stories? Not that I am worried about grossing people out, you can simply not read it. The thing I have to consider is scaring my sister off so she decides to rethink this nanny thing. Ok, To Paige: I made this whole story up. To the rest of you: you know the truth.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
