The Wyatt Saga: Part I
Oh, today.
I failed you.
Today was messy. Literally.
Sigh
So, we're going to go through today with five images ... Wyatt style.
1. I opened Wyatt's door this morning and was blasted with a very pungent smell. And then, then I saw his bare butt run across the room to his bed.
His BARE butt.
He decided this morning he wanted to finger paint. With poop.
Poo on the blinds. Poo on the dollhouse. Poo on the carpet. Poooooo.
Bath #1.
And I found this on the floor:
2. Unfortunately I didn't get to cleaning the spots right away (oh darn), because children were hungry and thirsty and needed clean diapers and clothes that aren't PJ's.
Eventually I did get around to spraying the spot down with carpet cleaner because I got a fabulous new carpet cleaner for Christmas! Absentmindedly, I left the spray bottle of cleaner on the floor in Wy's room next to the actual carpet cleaner itself.
I went downstairs to attend to the other children and forgot about the cleaner.
We all ventured upstairs later and there was much carousing and playing and a wee bit later Emma came to me and asked, "Mom, why is Clara's hair all wet?"
Hmmmm.
Because her brother sprayed her head with carpet cleaner. And then proceeded to spray a bunch on his own head! No eyes were injured in the process but their hair had a nice fragrance to it.
Bath #2. (#1 for Clara)
Before it was over the 2 oz line, now it's below the 1.5 line:
3. Take a break for nap time. Whew. (Where I sandwiched in an engagement session and dropping off a meal to a mama who just had a babe.)
Well afterward, I guess the boy was extremely thirsty because while I was upstairs getting Clara and attending to the laundry Wyatt decided to help himself to something to drink.
Some red Kool-aid.
Yes, RED.
He retrieved it himself from the fridge and proceeded to take off the lid.
I think it was about 1/2 full in the fridge.
He was left with some nice red hands, red feet, and red streaks down his chest.
And he left me a really nice pool on the kitchen floor - one that also splashed onto the stove and the cupboards and the fridge ... and under the fridge (which I could not move as hard as I tried).
We cleaned up the kool-aid and made our way upstairs to throw the towels (2 full size bath towels) and his soaked clothes into the washing machine.
While I did that he decided he was still thirsty. Of course that's because all the kool-aid ended up on the floor and not in his mouth! His aim was a little off.
He found my Caribou cup on the bathroom counter, I found it on the floor.
The red streaks were now mixed with brown ones.
Bath #3.
4. The crazy man who is on bath #3 of the day:
5. And because of the events of the day ... and evening ... it was bed time at 7:45 and I decided I was going to end my night with a drink. :)
I do not condone drunkenness or excessive drinking (obviously) but every once in a while, it's goooooood to have a drink.
And this, this is my FAV for liquor. Kilo Kai: Spiced Rum.
What? You've never heard of Kilo Kai?
Neither had I a few months ago. But it is a wonderful, fabulously tasty drink. Perfect with coke or Dr. Pepper!
Go on, try it.
You know you want to!
Days like today remind me why it's good to laugh - even when I don't want to, even when I feel like crying. Just laugh.
God wants me to laugh.
He gave me Wyatt (I truly believe) to keep me on my toes, to keep me laughing, and to remind me that I need HIM.
Every single day.
So, I praise God for red streaked bellies, matted hair, washing machines, carpet cleaners, bath tubs, and rum. And for coffee tomorrow morning.
That was my Friday.
What was your Friday like?!
