Ok so my house has been sort of quiet the last 2 days....it's not normal by any means.

It still smells like a horrid burnt piece of charcoal any time someone needs to use the microwave...gross!

If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to give advice (on the horrible smell in my microwave not on how to parent my boys)

So I've decided to pull from the depths of the archives for today's post.  This story is a few years old, but I'm sure everyone will get a good laugh, and maybe even relate?  Ya hopefully relate...please?  That would mean my boys are normal and this happens to everyone....well just read on because I highly doubt it.


A few years ago, long after my youngest son Moose had been potty trained (yep...it's going to be a good one), I was actually being a great housewife and cleaning.

I remember being in the laundry room sorting out laundry, which is no small feat for a family of 5, when my precious baby came and found me.

He starts taking off all of his clothes, which is normal because he is for the sure the diva in our family and has to change his clothes about 3 times a day to look in his words "cool".

I am bent over going through clothes and he says "I need to change, I'm all wet" and starts to walk away.
It took a good 3 seconds for it to register with me that he shouldn't be wet so I yell after him

"wait, why are you wet?"

He mumbles some answer in which I only pick up a few words like, "trying" "cup" "pee" and "toilet".

I knew it wasn't going to be good...so many thoughts raced through my head because with this kid, I worry. If any of you ever end up babysitting (well I doubt I will get offers after this blog) you should worry too.

I follow after him to the bathroom....OMG!!!

On their bathroom floor is a pint glass filled with some "fluid" and the floor and toilet seat are wet.  I try to hold back my anger as I wait for my precious son to explain what in the H*LL he was thinking!  

He says he tried to pee in the cup on the floor and then pour it in the toilet.
I pause trying to compute.....please Lord give me strength.

Just picture a 3 year old trying to do this, he has horrible aim with a HUGE hole attached to the floor called a TOILET, just imagine the aim in a 4 inch hole lower to the ground.
When he tried to pour the contents of the cup into the toilet he spilled (surprise, surprise) all over himself, the floor, the toilet seat and down the sides.  WOW!!!

Boy was it fun cleaning this mess up, and thankfully I can laugh at this memory now. He did not get punished, but this will forever been on the internet so when he's famous or running for President, they will be able to pull up some dirt on him (hopefully this is the worst), and it will be punishment enough.  I love being a mom.

I know I have my hands more than full with this one! 

Until the next "memory"......
