A REALLY good day.

Oh, that is such a LIE. Things started out somewhat normal but now that I think of it, this entire day has been a catastrophe. Brayden has been really sad about "being bored" lately and even broke down in tears over it on Monday. So I made sure that he had a neighbor friend to play with pretty much every day this week. When its time to pick him up or take the friend home, he has been turning into a CRAZY LUNATIC. SO frustrating. Today was by far the worst, he threw himself on the floor and went into a ballistic oblivion. And the ultimate knife-to-the-heart, "I think you hate me." No matter how long he plays, its just too short.

Oh, and the boys were being rowdy and woke Kosty up early from his VERY SACRED nap. :(
Then Kosty turned on one of Brayden's Thomas trains and ran it over my head. Well since the wheels were in motion, it wrapped my hair around the tires and a HUGE chunk of my hair was stuck. I couldn't see well enough on the top of my head to untangle it, and it was WAY too much hair to just rip out. So, me & my Train, & the boys had to go across the street and PRAY my sister-n- law answered the door. She didn't. I stood there, like CRAP. now what? Then luckily, her husband came to the door. Just imagine looking out your peephole to see me with 'Spencer the Train' stuck in my hair. HA! so he started untangling it and then Mindy walked in hysterically laughing. He got it out. YAY! Then we went home and while I was recovering from the trauma, Brayden decided to turn himself into a coloring page and colored his entire body with green marker.

Just to top things off, Kosty decided that tonight would be a good time to try pooping in the bath tub for the first time. EEWWWWW! I know I have changed a MILLION disgusting diapers in my life, but nothing is as purely DISGUSTING and WRONG as having to scoop poop out of the bath tub! GRRRRRR. So then I had to take him out and put him in my shower and disinfect his tub. And I LOATHE cleaning tubs/showers.

My only regret for today is that I didn't have Mindy take a picture of the train stuck in my hair. DANG! What was I thinking?! I'm quite sure it would have made everyone LAUGH. So glad this day is over, kids are asleep, and I cant wait to get to bed. I have to say this has been very therapeutic recording all this, ahhhh. I feel better now.

HOLY COW! What a day chels! I wish I did see that pic of you and the train! I am glad your bro in law got it out for ya! I hate poop in the bath! I think Tayler did that when she was very little. It is gross and I am with ya, I hate cleaning the bath tubs! I was suppose to clean the bathrooms today and I opt to vac, dust and mop instead! I am putting it off for the morning! I am glad I am not the only one with "bored" kids! I tell you this summer killed me since we didn't go out of town this summer. I hate to tell ya but it doesn't get any better in the "bored" dept. They always seem to want to be entertained! Anyway, glad you had some down time girl! You deserve it!

Ummm....that is what a call a very, very bad day; yet, funny to those who get to read about it (me). Seriously, every mom has those days when you just want to scream but it can't only go up from poop in the bath, train stuck in hair, and tantrum throwing kids, right? I shouldn't have reminded you. :) Today will be a better day.

I'm sorry I couldn't wipe the smile of of my face. Thats so sad but you just have to laugh at it now. Wow those kinda days are the longest too. I hope today gets better. We need to go to dinner for visiting teaching, before she leaves. Do you want me to call her to set up a time? When is good for you? Oh yeah I hope to never go down the road of poop in the bath to gross.

all that drama and you still managed to bring me a meal? I am so sorry! Thank you, it was great and it was so nice to have a break. It sounds like you need me to bring you a meal next time :)

Heidi said...

Oh Man Chels I am so sorry. That is one heck of a day. I feel for you. I have had to pull poop out of the tub a couple times. EWWWWWW!!!! We need to get Kelsie and Brayden together. Kelsie asks everyday if she can invite someone over because she is bored. Then proceeds to throw a tantrum if I say no. Hopefully today is better for you.

Swirls of Happy said...

Wow! That sounds like an intense day and it makes me wish Bentley would stay this little and innocent forever, because I know I will be there to one day. Sorry Chels, hope today is better for you and you never have to endure Poop in the tub again....YUCKY!!!

Chelsea..what a day! I can not stop laughing. The image in my head of you standing at a door step with a train tangled in your hair is too funny! What we take as mom's, right? Thanks for making me laugh!

MommyRohner said...

So funny. Your blog always makes me laugh, and not just to myself- OUT LOUD! Daxton loves to check out Brayden's pictures. Daxton saw the one where Brayden colored on himself and asked, "did he hurt himself?"
Thanks for sharing the hysterical things that your kids do.
