"It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't." ~Barbara Kingsolver

1. Went to Wal Mart where Topher screamed [for no apparent reason] the entire 47 minutes we were there.

2. Gave him raviolis for lunch [which he usually inhales with very little mess]. He decided they were better as chunky paint on my [eggshell colored] walls than as sustenance.

3. Gave him bath [with lots of bubbles obstructing view of water]. He pooped in the tub [diarreah] and before I realized it, had drank some of the fecal water. [CRINGE]

4. Ran and put him in upstairs bath. No hot water left. Screaming [poop covered] baby soaking me with cold water as I try to clean him off.

5. Wrap him in a towel and run downstairs to grab a diaper, clothes, and start the shower to hose down some of the [poopie] mess I will be cleaning shortly.

6. Upon my arrival upstairs I discover Topher is on the kitchen table, has urinated on said table, and is now sitting and playing in it. [CRINGE AGAIN}

7. Another cold bath.

8. Diaper and dress child.

9. Leave him with expensive toys [he never plays with] to clean up feces and urine.

10. Whilst I am cleaning, Topher discovers the cage of guinea pigs I am watching for a month, can fit his hand in cage, covers house in guinea pig droppings and sawdust.

11. It is only 4:00.

12. Would love to annihilate myself with a bottle of wine after children are in bed...can't do this...am pregnant...with third child...*inhales and exhales deeply*
