Boys are gross!

I always new boys were a little more mischievous than girls, but still I insisted on having one. In fact I am highly outnumbered in this house. Even the dog is a boy. It wasn't until Monday that I found out how gross little boys could be. I put Tyler down for his nap around 11:30. This is when I fit in my shower, since I have no other time to do it. When I got out I heard him playing. sometimes it takes him a little while to settle down, especially if he has had a fun-filled morning. I come downstairs start to do this dishes, hes still playing. An hour passed by and I thought that I should probably go up and check his diaper, normally he screams for me ta change it if he has pooped. He sounded like he was having a good time so I didn't think I had the dreaded #2 to worry about. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! I opened the door to his room and had to turn around and walk out and count to 10. My child had taken his diaper off, flung poop up the wall higher than I could reach, smeared it into his sheets and blankets, had it all over his face in his hair in the WHITE carpet. I was mortified! I didn't know whether to laugh cry or yell. I think I might have done a little of all three. After a stern talking to and a trip to the shower, which he hated by the way. He was clean and it was on to cleaning everything else! So Message of the day.. when you feel like spanking your child. Put them in the shower. Same effect only one is not abuse, unless the water is too hot, in that case you could go to jail, so check the water temp. Until next time.....

BOYS!!!

I have heard stories from parents before about when their kids were toddlers. I always thought, "oh my kid's not going to do that". BOY WAS I WRONG!!! Last week, Ben was TDY. That left me, Tyler and the dog home to take care of ourselves. Before Ben left the only the only thing I was worried about was,"what if Ty pops his eye out while your gone?" He reassured me that it would be fine and since he had only popped it out twice since he has had it, I shouldn't worry. The first half of the week went fine, then Thursday came around and I was making dinner, it was almost done, so I put Ty in his booster seat and continued to make his plate. I turn around to put his plate on the table and my worst nightmare had come true!! He had popped his eye out! I tried to put it back in myself, but he was having no part in it. At one point I thought maybe I will just leave it out, only it can't stay out for more than 24 hours. So I called my friend Katie down the street...no answer. I called her husband, thinking maybe he could help me...no answer. I started crying! Finally Jon called me back..once he finally realized who I was, He started to freak out too..he he. HE got a hold of Katie and together we got it back in. Granted it took us an hour and a half and her 3 year old thought we were hurting him. Afterwards she told us we were SUPER HEROES!! That was last weeks toddler adventure, now onto this weeks! Thanks for reading!

My first blog

So my friend, Angie, is a super blogger. She has these wonderful blogs and they have inspired me to start my own. I am mainly starting to blog as an outlet. Alot has happened in the last year, and I need an outlet to exoress my feelings. As of right now, my doctor thinks I am battling depression. This makes since, since my son was diagnosed with cancer in April. He was only 14 months at the time. If I wasn't depressed, I would be worried. I have made a vowel for myself , to start taking care of ME! I have to. My family needs me. I need to be healthy, to help them be healthy. So here we. This is a start of my new journey as a blogger! I hope you enjoy!
