Just another day in Motherhood


Have you ever had someone say something to you that just really stuck and made you think? Well, my husband did the other night. We're laying on the couch watching T.V and he pauses it and said... " You know, I don't know if you were just tired from dealing with the kids all day, Or if it's just the fact that your just used to it. But, I still can't believe how you could just stand there soaked in pee and finished talking on the phone!" 3 hours and a shower earlier... At supper I had dealt with trying to feed Jacob, who had been teething all day and refused to eat the right way. He Spit food, cried, hid his face, fought at the spoon, threw toys and spilled juice everywhere. He had food and juice all over him and all he wanted was to be held. He loves naked time, so I decided to carry him around naked. This way it would buy me a few minutes, so I could clean up the kitchen. Multi tasking here I was carrying him, talking on the phone and cleaning. At the same moment that Madisen was screaming from the bathroom " I need more paper!", Jacob decided to soak my side. So, here I stood pee running down my side puddling on the floor. Meanwhile Jason is standing there looking at me saying "And your not getting off the phone?!" This is my third child, I'm tired and I am finishing my one bit of adult conversation of the day. He will just never understand. I can't imagine how he would have reacted in my shoes, seeing how he was in sheer panic over just watching.
