It’s Been A Bad Day, Please Don’t Take A Picture

in Life

So I need you to do some imagining.

Last night:

First, you have a toddler and that toddler gets into the sugar bowl at 9.30pm, 2 hours after bedtime. Then that toddler suddenly had all! this! extra! energy! and discovers how to break out of her gated bedroom.

Then you have to imagine various levels of toddler chaos until midnight, when she finally settled enough to fall asleep for me.

Then she wakes a few times between 12am and 7am. At 7am her world needs to end and she needs to come to bed with Mummy for a few hours, regularly kicking Mummy in the back.

She then spent the day out with my Mum (thankyou!) and came home in a slightly clingy, but mostly happy mood.

She fingerpainted with guacamole, all over the carpet. She refused to eat her dinner, but sat next to me and ate all mine quite happily (seriously, how does that reasoning work?).

Then I puked. And got a splinter. And trod on a bead and swore to high heaven.

So, I did what I always do on shitty days. I turned on the music really loud and danced and sung like an idiot. Can you picture me dancing and singing like an idiot with Amy on my hip? Amy thought it was hilarious. So did I until I looked down and realised that she had pooped all over my hip.

So, here is my song for bad days. It needs playing up REALLY REALLY loud.

Chin up, eh?

I’ll tell you a secret, I have a ‘cheer up, it will all come good’ song.

Learn the chorus, turn it up, sing it loud and out of tune.

You may borrow it.

There are signs, portents of things to come, if you will, that almost all of us recognize in one way or another. I am going to have to add “Kid craps all over you” to the list of signs that one is either going to have, or is in the midst of having, a bad day. Thanks kid. I needed that.

The poop was just the icing on the proverbial cake. Amy really does seem like an incredibly smart little thing. I wouldn’t wonder if she’ll be doing your taxes in a few years. What a little button!

Do you have a preference for the baby’s sex? I pretty well always prayed for a girl but was happy with a boy because boys match what I already had. When I was pregnant with S we were just talking about the next boy because that’s just the way things go, you know? We were surprised with a girl! Maybe you talked about this before and I’ve forgotten. Sorry.

Anyway, I think Amy is smarter than you give her credit for. I think based on my reading of this post seven times that Amy was laughing BECAUSE you were dancing about with her poop. She’s smart that way.

She’s very pretty too but I’m more struck by how smart she is in your posts. I’m trying to phrase that in a not offending way becuase my brain isn’t together rightnow. She’s really smart. Even if she is pretty. I think she is smart.

God bless ya.

I wanted to tell you something else but I forget what it is. When I remember I will come back and tell you something else.

One day you will laugh about this too . . . probably when Amy is a Mummy lol!

Kat June 25, 2008 at 12:50 pm

Oh. My. God.
Really. The poop was too much. I’m laughing, but what else can you do. Cry I guess. If I were you, and pregnant, I would have cried.

“……..realised that she had pooped all over my hip.”
So we danced our way into the shower where much soapy hilarity ensued…Yes?
Loud dancing music is a great cure for so many things. Been there, done that. I remember a night about seven years ago………

Bettina June 25, 2008 at 9:35 pm

yup. Poop down the hip is a sure sign………..

great song!!

Well done for having a relatively cheery souding song for your bad day. Here’s mine – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioAQTwc8Oas – it’s not so cheery
