Confessions of a Mom #2

Dane has started his Master's Program back in August.  Since he's began we don't see him most mornings.  If we do it's quickly while we have our Family Prayers and then he's out the door.  

I didn't realize how hard it is to get 3 kids together to get out the door to walk Ben to school.  The first week we were on time and never late!  (Of course my Mom was here to stay home with the other 2 kids.)

These last 2 weeks haven't been as successful.  I've been doing it alone.  

Waking the kids.  Feeding the kids.  Dressing the kids.  Bundling up the kids.  Packing the younger kids into the stroller.  And then walking to school.  Seems easy enough. 

Well today the kids and I both woke up a little bit later.  No biggy.  Breakfast took a little bit longer, because Jayden wanted to eat first and I made him wait.  He screamed.  Once breakfast was done I sat the older 2 down and nursed Jayden.  The older 2 took longer to eat this morning because they were giggling and messing around.  

With breakfast down.  I told Ben to quickly get dressed because he was going to be late.  I figured I'd just leave the younger 2 in jammies.  Again. I then ran outside and got our stroller.  Came back and wrapped up Symi in a blanket and put her in the stroller.  She announced that she had pooped and wanted to change.  I told her she would just have to wait until we got home.  I then helped Ben with his shoes.  Told him to get his jacket and backpack on.  Then grabbed Jayden.

I noticed a large wet spot on the floor!?  

And that my hands were wet.

I slowly turned Jayden around.  Sigh.

He was covered in poop.  All the way up to his head.

Well Ben you are really going to be late today.  And Symi I might as well change you too.

Happy Thursday!
