More coming to this space soon

To be honest, life has been horribly hectic. And so, I've neglected this blog. For that, dear internet, I'm so sorry. To bring you up to speed, I'm a single mommy for this summer, for another 7 weeks or so. I'm going on my 4th week in this state. I do not know how folks do it as a lifestyle, as opposed to a summer. What I'm finding is that I've become bitter, angry, tired, frustrated, and generally not very pleasant. My coworkers have taken the brunt: they have listened, sympathized, and supported. However, I need a place to vent, and I need to stop bugging my friends. So coming up soon will hopefully be more tales of mommy woe. Oh, the poop-tastic stories I have to tell. And, the cuter than ever kid stories. And some which span both categories!

Take Little Miss S tonight. We were having our evening bath tub. Such a grand time. I even bought a jumbo bottle of Mr. Bubble for her to enjoy. I hear her talking about not pooping in the bath tub. Oh, that's good. Then she says "Mommy! Can I go to the potty?" I don't know why she's compelled to ask permission! Of course, I say "Yes!", and finally settled Baby MC down for her night's rest. By the time I get there, I see her on the potty. Poop on the floor, on the toilet. But not IN the tub, so yay! She made it. So she pulls her legs up, and she's holding on to her feet. "Mommy - it's GROSS! Pick it up NOW!"

So that's my life. Poop and picking it up. So that's what I've been up to.
