Title: What next...
Posted: 1 years ago

I just have to share the story of my day...

My middle child turned 2 today and I asked her what she wanted to do for her special day. She told me she wanted to go to the train station (there's a little museum there with locomotives, etc.)

So I loaded up the three of them and headed for the depot. As I pull up, I realize that I have no stroller for the baby, so I figure I'll just take him out of his car seat and put him in the baby bjorn. As I do this I see that he has COMPLETELY pooped through his pants. So I go to change him and while I have plenty of diapers, I have no wipes...so I run to the nearest restaurant and grab a couple of napkins and I used napkins and bottled water.

As I am changing the baby in the back of the car, my girls climb into the front driver's area and start ejecting CDs from the player and placing them in the basin of my center console. The birthday girl then proceeds to climb on top of the basin and PEE all over the CDs so much so that they're FLOATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've got to be kidding me....all the same it's her birthday and she really wanted to see those trains so we change clothes and continue on to the station.

We walk into the main area and walk up to the window and ask about the museum and the lady says, oh, it's CLOSED today. I started to laugh, probably a bit hysterically and figure I have nothing to lose so I launch into my story and BEG her to let us just look at the trains for a minute. She did it! What an AMAZINGLY nice woman. So we looked at trains for two minutes and loaded back into the car and headed for home.

I am EXASPERATED by this time, so I put on Cinderella and let the girls watch a little TV. At some point they got into a little tiff and my three year old hit my two year old and when I asked what happened she says, "Well, uh...mom, there's a movie on and now's not the time to talk about this." 

It's only 4:30 PM now, I am counting the minutes until my husband gets home....

You poor thing! I completely empathize with you! And while this may seem like this worst day ever, print this entry out to look at in a few years. Who knows? You might find it to be one of the funniest stories ever. ^_^

This story was so funny. I actually thought of you the other day because I went on an adventure with my mother (sometimes we try to get lost, to discover new places) and we passed a locomotive museum!!! I told her your story. Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry it was so bad, but usually those days are few and far between and make us appreciate the good days all the more.
