I just want you all to know…

Seeing that I am going to be away for 3 months, Nicole feels that it is fair that I do most of the diaper changes, getting up at night with the kids, get up early with the kids so that she can sleep in, deal with the new puppy and other duties as assigned – I mean, duties that we share to run a smooth household. That isn’t to say that I don’t do these things already.. cause I do, but I’m just doing more (all) of the dirty work before it all (and I feel bad to say) falls onto Nicole’s shoulders.

Why is it then, that the night before my very last full day here, boy K seems to need to feed every 2 hours (which he hasn’t done for quite a few months), girl K needs water in the middle of the night cause her ‘throat is dry’ and then gets up an hour or so later cause she peed her bed. A total of 6 times throughout the night we were disturbed by our lovely children.

Then, boy K and O wake up early. Nicole tells me… “asks me”… to get them up and take them down stairs so that she can sleep in. I go in to get boy K and am greeted by the foul smell of solid-food-eating-baby-poop. Now listen here people. I have four kids. As those of you who are parents know, kids poop a lot. For those of you without kids, I mean, a lot a lot! So I have changed…. HUNDREDS of soiled diapers. Pee. Poo. Peepoo. All of it. Today was the BIGGEST poop I. Have. Ever. Seen. Boy K managed to get poop up into his left armpit, up to both of his nipples along the front and midway up his back. How?! Why?! WHHYYYY?!

This doesn’t really have anything to do with my journey up north. I just felt I needed to share this. On my last full day, they saved the best (or worse I suppose) for last. Thanks kids.

In good old Bloggy fashion, what is the moral of this post? Is it, “don’t ever have kids cause they are gross”? No. Never. Well, they are gross, but it shouldn’t deter anyone from having them. Or is it, “Don’t be a chump, help out when you kid takes a dump”?

Take care! Be safe! Talk to you all soon..
