Love via Gross Parenting

Have you had one of these days recently?

Poop, no vomit first, then pee, then the poop, then blood.  That's what I got to interact with today, thanks to both boys.

The first three were dealt with in 3 different public places far away from home - a gas station, the circus, and the museum of art.  Blood was due to an interaction with our front sidewalk, so that was easy.

All are washed, bandaged, and/or well at this point.  Except for me.  Isn't that how it goes as Mom.

I got to meet their needs and hopefully (somewhere deep in their subconscience) they feel loved.

Time for some self-care, aka, a shower and an Amish novel in my electric-mattress-pad-warmed bed.

I remember when Cade was 2 it was his first time to throw up and where did it go? All over me. Yeah you know you're a mother when that happens and you don't get sick on the spot.
