I blog to keep from curling up in the fetal position and crying

You know those days when you don't think you can handle one more thing, and then something like this happens.

The way I cope is by taking a deep breath in order not to react, a photo to help me smile about it, and then just moving forward and cleaning up the mess.

So it went like this, my 5 year old was in the tub (because he pooped his pants, something that is happening way too often -I think it is laziness but not quite sure of the cause yet) when I heard the the all familiar phrase, "MOOOOOOOM, I neeeeeed you!!"

This better be an emergency I thought because I was right in the middle of trying to get something done and I was already upset with Braden for pooping his pants and didn't really want to deal with him.

As I came around the corner and said, "What do you need?" The response was, "Asher got in the bathtub with his bag of popcorn", and I saw the below scene.

Fully clothed soaking wet baby, empty bag and a tub full of soggy popcorn! Not to mention somewhat poopy water from the reason we were in the tub in the first.

When I got everyone out, I was left with wet clothes and a diaper that had absorbed a large amount of tub water. In order to keep my sanity, the mess waited an hour before I was ready to clean it up.
