DISGUSTING

No matter how clean my house it, how finger smudge free my doors are (well, they really arent), how sterile my countertop is (well, it probably isnt either); raising kids is, at times very disgusting.
Jonah was sitting in the toilet one day dropping the kids off at the pool. I walked away while he was doing his business and didnt come back (yes, i forgot about him) until i heard him whining. I quickly remembered that he probably needed help with the wiping. I came into the bathroom and was immediately overtook by the "child poo" scent and then noticed that Jonahs hands were no longer clean. He had taken it upon himself to wipe his own tooshy....without the TP!! Yes, bits of poop were all over his fingers, hands, the toilet, and his legs. Full of disgust i immediately brought him to the sink to wash his hands and cleaned up everything else. Then (now, this is where it gets even more gross) i had to CLIP HIS FINGERNAILS to get the poo out of there and re-wash his hands. It was ridiculously nasty.
A few days later i took the kids to this crap outlet mall in draper that has about 4 stores in it and the majority of it is empty of retailer and shoppers. I go there once in a while so my kids can run and wiggle and yell without it disturbing anyone, getting lost, and where i can see them all of the time. I just sit with Ireland and watch them run and run. Well, as it came time to leave Tobin began to throw a huge fit (nothing new there) and as i was struggling with forcing him into the carseat, i noticed something in his wide open crying mouth. It was a PIECE OF ALREADY CHEWED GUM covered in dirt and paper (which was surprisingly still fruity smelling) that he must have picked up off the floor and started chomping on. I immediately was convinced that he had probably caugh herpes and was dry heaving for the next few minutes.
Kids are disgusting.

Just close your eye and pretend it didn't happen. I have to rid myself of thoughts all the time or I get consumed with the what ifs. Those are pretty great stories and rank right up there in the disgusting category. At least it is all made better by the fact that their home environment is at least clean and sterile.

Oh gross! I've had a few of those moments. Brooke is right; you just have to pretend that it didn't happen. I think it's kind of sad that our kids can't run around like they used to back in the day. Here in San Diego, they have found glass shards and hypodermic needles in the sand at kids' playgrounds. Granted, those are two isolated incidents, but it's enough to convince me that shoes are mandatory. Now, convincing the boys that they are is another story altogether. :0)
