different shit, same day

  • first moments of the day, eyes not even fully open, sans glasses – wiping up pee in, on, around and in front of the potty and its environs. (note to mothers of boys:  you are not in this alone! girls have bad aim, too.)
  • post-breakfast – picking up smallish turd off the bathroom rug, now being washed (rug, not turd).
  • lunch – returning from preschool and rushing to the potty, thing one rushes back to inform me it's stopped up. plunging ensues, followed by rinsing plunger in bleach water and trying to autoclave hands.
it's hard being as glamorous as me.

postscript, 7:35 pm – and we just rounded out the day with someone whizzing on one of the good chairs. not one of cheap plastic chairs from ikea. no, the nice upholstered chair from room and board. is it any wonder i had rice krispies and red wine for dinner? no, it is not.

Ugh. I really like these Woolite carpet cleaner pods from Walgreens. They're blue. Helps with the spot-cleans. I assume there will be many, poo and otherwise over the next few years. At least rejoice that the poo is coming out! M is back to champion with-holding. Damn the sphincter!
