but not this one.
Preface:
After a night of pure exhaustion, I'm talking up all night up with a teething baby in pain, I finally asked Justin to rock Kendall at 5:30am. Immediately he of course falls asleep for HIM! Wow, I must be mother of the year! I only tell this part so you will understand how things seem out of control for a sleep deprived mother.
Yes, I'm the idiot who chose to sacrifice my feet for some "kinda cute" but not "fabulously cute" shoes that maybe you could actually reason sacrificing your feet for. It's time for church and as we proudly proclaim our seats in the dead back, (with great reason of course), Kendall starts fussing because he might be a LITTLE tired from the nights events that took place. Justin takes him out so that I can enjoy the talks and get some doting on how wonderful of a mom I must be. Nathan has a relapse and throws himself on the ground with his sippy cup flying into the metal chair. Did I mention it's very loud? I drag him out so that I can proceed to discipline him in a very sweet motherly fashion all the while my blisters start to form on my feet. Back in we go, and back out we are for a total of three times. Mind you I'm hearing as I leave, "I have so much admiration for you young mothers...." Wait, I have to leave during the best part just when it was getting REALLY good!
On this beautiful May day, I'm just positive there are absolutely no germs in the nursery so I take Nathan on in. He then began to cry like the little animal that he turned into when we were at the dentist. Nursery was not going to be an option today. Nathan goes with dad because I'm supposed to conduct. I get Kendall from Justin and nurse him in the mothers lounge noticing on the way back Kendall dropped some toys. I give Kendall to Justin because I decided with out a 24 pound baby my blisters will bleed less. When I return two maybe three minutes later I ask Justin in my most cheerful, patient voice, "Where is Nathan?" I grab Kendall from Justin and he goes out one door, I go out another and our search for Nathan is on. After TEN minutes of searching, praying, crying and shoes full of blood, I go to call off priesthood. As I'm about to enter the room, a very disgusted looking woman asks me if I seen my son wandering the halls! (And who knows for how long.) I ran up to Nathan who was shuffling around as fast as he could because his pants AND underwear were around his ankles and his belt around his neck. He is sopping wet and reeks of urine and I just happened to be siting next to the counselor who has a gag reflux. We didn't know if we should kill him or pick him up and swing him around. Happy Mothers Day for I'm sure next year it will be the perfect one I'm so longing for!:) Now, why would I think to take my shoes off you ask? I have no idea! AHHHHHHH!

Cute cute story. Not so cute at the time. But thanks for sharing the details of what we all go through but hate to admit it. I love your blogging. Keep it up!
That is horrible! i'M SO SORRY! Yuck! There is nothing more embarrassing. I had someone bring Adam to me Sunday and tell me that he was outside!!!! Makes you feel like a real winner!
Yay...thanks for adding us to your blog! Even though I had heard you tell this story in person, I still read every word...sometimes you are just not meant to have a relaxing day. I'm sure that next year will be perfect! :) I totally can enjoy myself more if I take the baby...especially 'cuz I'm nursing him full time, so then I don't have to worry that he is screaming and not being able to be comforted by someone else. :)
Oh Alisa... I hope your feet "heel"... get it? Okay, not so funny. My gosh, I hope you got spoiled at some point during the day??? I'm sure we both have many of these type of days ahead of us. I have to say though, I think that would be the scariest feeling ever to not know where your boy is. My heart was pounding just reading that. Thank goodness he had his accident to slow him down & keep him from getting too far. ;) Love you!
What a sabbath day! And Mother's Day for that matter! Of course this happened to you....you always have the best journal entries!:)haha....Scary though...Why do little boys feel the need to explore by them self so much?
OH my goodness, You have the greatest (HA HA HA HA) experiences. I can't wait to have some of the same with you in a couple of weeks!!! I love you forever
Mothers never get a break -it is so true! I'm sorry that you had such a crazy day. You're right, they can only get better. I know that I am so busted with Justin for false advertising about us all getting together. We will be back in a couple of weeks so hopefully we can do something then. I was SOO busy last week helping my mom get ready for the reception. Tell him to please forgive me. Hopefully we will see you guys soon.
