Moments define who we are...

Life is made up of moments... both good and bad. As children, we dont label them and sometimes dont even acknowledge these moments exsist. Moments that occur during childhood build up to the moments that define who we are and what we will do as adults. As adults, there are moments that change us for the better, or worse, and there are moments that make us realize how good, or bad, our lives are.

This blog, journal entry... whatever you call it is about a specific moment. A comical moment that follows after a moment of depression, stress, and anxiety (three things that I know very well). But first, you know THAT moment? The one where you dont think anything else could POSSIBLY go wrong and you really dont know WHY you do the things you do... The moment we will talk about comes right after this...

When things seem to get me down, it always seems to get worse and worse, until the point where I think I'm going to pass out. Kids making messes or not sleeping at night, or just being down right monsters. You know how kids can get if you have some of your own... That's how my last few MONTHS have been and in the last week, I didnt think things could get much worse. Then today's MOMENT happened. Anthony, Arianna, Aurora and I were all attempting a nap this afternoon when my son decided he needed to "go poop"...

Think you know where this is leading... you are wrong.

He proceeds to the bathroom and then starts crying.

Think you got it yet? You are still wrong...

I go in to find out what is wrong.

Another guess? NOPE!

"Anthony, what is the matter baby?"
"Nothing, I just got all wet."
"How did you get wet?"
"Nothing, I just go pee, and I got all wet in my face"

Ahh, the joys of mother hood... My son has been doing SO GREAT at potty training and not wetting himself... until this fiasco. So I did what any good mother would do, I grabbed my phone and called my husband laughing so hard that my face was hurting!!!

I am learning, slowly but alas, it's learning, that I must find joy in all things!

Dont worry, I cleaned up my son, let him play in a bubble bath, and got him some clean cloths that didnt have pee on them ( he made a bit of a mess once it hit his face).

Leave it to a little one to help show that even when things get tough, laughter is still out there!

God Bless!
