In a matter of 7 days this nasty GI virus has managed to pass through every one of us...Literally... Vomiting, and/or dieareahah. Brady's messy diapers finally ended on day 7...so I thought! Just after I got him all washed up and into his jammies tonight he had another explosive one that sent him back to the tub!! Geez!
Thankfully grandma was here when I was sick, otherwise Brad might have lost his freakin mind with the kids and the mess of living around a half painted kitchen. The kids weren't hit as bad as Brad and I but 2 boys were still sent home from daycare during the week with the trots, so we were again juggling work and kids ALL week. Thankfully Brad seems to be coming around a bit more this evening... so I'm hoping we can have a normal start to the week. I've never had to deal with so much shit in my entire life... For example on Tuesday morning I had just put my shoes on to head out the door when Brad called me into Brady's room... "You gotta help me... I can't do this one on my own." As Brad unzipped Brady's pjs he unveiled poo from armpits down to his toes. I carefully held him at arm's length as we trekked across the hall into the tub. At 7:20am he was having a tubby and loving every minute as he smiled at me with his toothy grin. Scrubbed up and out the door I went...daddy to finish the rest. Oh but wait... I was reminded of this disaster 5 hrs later. After my new employee health screening at SMDC I stopped in the hospital cafe for a bite to eat. I took my seat and as I crossed my legs at the lunch table, I caught a glance of something on my shoe. Assuming it was winter slush-salt-dirt or whatever, I didn't think twice before swiping my napkin across it... but it wasn't coming off, so I wiped harder. Then realized it was POOP!! Nasty, stuck-on, POOP!! I suppose when I was carrying him butt naked from his room to the tub, a blob of poop fell off onto my shoe. Thankfully it looked like mustard, but still how embarrassing!
On the way out that day a co-worker was venting about her tough day, so to give her a little pick-me-up I shared my story... she was laughing so hard it brought tears to her eyes.

Oh my god, that story made me laugh until my cheeks hurt. I can just envision you trying to wipe it off, and then realizing it was poop. Geez, what us moms have to deal with.
I am praying that the lovely GI bug stays away from this house, hopefully it can't be transfered through computer screens :)
Wishing you a less poopy week :)
Wow! What a week! That's literally the shits! Hope your week is truly off to a poo free start!
