B.Y.O.P.
You know, I am so sick of pooping dogs and children throwing up I thought I would make a little lighthearted fun. It is also funner to complain if you are being silly.
#1. Chinook (dog we were dog sitting) pooped on the floor. Lincoln stepped in it because the power was out, and he couldn't see it. I thought it was so funny. I laughed. I laughed even more when he told me he got out of bed and put a little of my deodorant in his mustache so he could get the smell out of his nose. Funny.
#1.5 Chinook didn't want to poop outside, so he didn't. (No worries Christie, no worries....but it is a part of this story.)
#2. Cyrus got a bad bad bad stomach bug. First he pooped on one of my tops while we were at church. It was the only thing on the floor. Then Lincoln went out of town, and Cyrus got worse. He woke me up at 5 am, to go out. He never does this. Simone was awake so I carried her down stairs with me. Then I stepped in a huge puddle of dog diarrhea. In my pajamas, no contacts, crying baby in arms, hobbling to sink, washing foot, gagging, cleaning, and more cleaning and gagging. I have such a weak stomach. KARMA!
#3. The next night he did it again. In three places on the carpet. Can I just say that Lincoln has a stomach of steel. Really, he can clean anything and it doesn't phase him. I am the totally the opposite. Natalia watched me stare at the mess for 5 minutes. Then she started to cheer me on. "What are you waiting for? Why are you staring at it? Just...bend down Mom. Wipe it like this. Stand right here. Go Mom. Just do it. What are you waiting for? GO!"
#4 . Wyatt got sick. High fevers, and a stomach bug. Lovely. He missed two days of school last week. At least he can make it to the potty.
#5. Simone got it too. She threw up in my bed last night at 4 am.
#6 Natalia woke up with a high fever today. No puke from her YET.
Will it ever end?
Fortunately I know that it will. =)

LOL!!! Your Welcome :-)
So sorry! It sounds like our house this past week-except for the dog poop thankfully! Just call me when you want to borrow my RUG DOCTOR!
I was so sad to cancle the photo shoot yesterday, but it sounds like you needed to be home too...or maybe you needed an excuse to leave? :)
Hope everyone is feeling better soon!
Gag. I don't mind cleaning up people poop and puke (especially when I'm getting paid for it...), but animal poo and especially animal diarrhea does me in. Good thing for Lincoln!
I love your invitation, by the way. That's hilarious!
Jeri you are so clever and funny. You always know how to put a twist on bad things to make them not seem so bad.
That is hilarious about Lincoln and your deodorant!
So sorry! Yucky dog diarrhea, Jeri. I am so sorry about all this poop and puke!
No fun. You are a super woman for dealing with this with humor. I hope it all goes away very soon.
Jeri you are funny, and brave to blog about this. That's a sign that you are now a true mom. Not that you weren't before, but now you remind me of mom: It's just mud. You just get a tougher stomach. Good thing, because you couldn't have gotten a weaker stomach. Wouldn't have lasted one day where I was in Argentina.
Yuck, yuck, yuck! I completely hate poo and puke. I am impressed by your invite. Doesn't it feel as if bugs just waltz on in and overstay their welcome?! I wish you the very best. The image of you in the dark with a crying baby, half-blind and standing in a puddle of poo, will stay with me for a long time:)
oh jeri. wow. i am so sorry! it makes me glad i don't have a dog, even on loan. :)
I know. I said "Do you like the smell of my deodorant or something?"
"No, I just couldn't find mine. It was in my suitcase."
FUNNY. I love him. =) Anything smells better than dog poo I guess.
I'm totally laughing! I'm glad you can be so silly about your wacky week! So sorry and good luck!
Your kids are so cute!! I hope that Wyatt gets better soon. I'm glad that are kids are in the same class for pre-school.
Can I come, too?
That is terrible!!! You guys have really had a unfair amound of sick lately! But, I have to say I LOVE your summer project pictures. You are just so talented and I miss you! BTW I found a fun site you might like, it's linked to my blog under my favorite sites as Knack and Knack Blog. I love reading it and it looks like something you would too.
SERIOUSLY? JERI. Just thinking about all that is killing me. I want all of those things to NEVER happen to you again :)
No WAY!! I don't like that story. I remember when my life was full of poop, but never from an animal. I still remember when Ethan pooped in his diaper, took it off, and then SLID down the stairs to wipe it off. Good times.
yuck! that all sounds like a nightmare! good thing you have a good sense of humor!
