I absolutely cannot believe what a horrible day today was. Seriously, I didn’t know it was possible for days to be this stressful, chaotic and disastrous!! Who needs weight loss supplements when you run yourself ragged like this??

It all started last night. I was online, about to order some diapers, and all of a sudden, my internet connection was timing out. Chad was on the internet, too, and his was fine. At first, I thought that the kids must have been messing around with some wires and something must have gotten unplugged. Then an anti-virus program popped up and started scanning my computer. Neither Chad or I connected the two things, but it turned out the anti-virus program was actually a virus…and apparently, one of the worst viruses out there. It took Chad all night and part of this morning to get rid of the virus, but it had damaged my computer so bad that it had to be completely wiped clean. So Chad didn’t even go to work today, he just spent the entire day trying to get my computer back in business. And I spent the kids’ entire nap time (my only break-time) trying to find disks for certain programs so that we’d be able to get backups to work on the laptop. He’s finally finishing it up right now (thanks to lots and lots of help from Jeb….THANKS JEB!)

But that wasn’t all. I had to take Kelvin into the doctor this morning to have his ears checked because he’s been spending at least an hour every night screaming bloody murder. Turns out his ears were fine, but he’s getting more teeth and he also has a sore throat. Which explains the extreme fussiness all day. Seriously, I couldn’t even set him down without him screaming. Really wears on my nerves when he acts like that.

AND…since I’d spent nap time helping with my computer, I didn’t get a chance to start dinner until about 4. That was a disaster…I had to do everything with Kelvin on my hip, plus Ava was trying to “help” with hot things on the stove. Not fun.

Oh yes, and potty training is not going so hot. I’ll be posting about that soon, but let’s just say…that it’s not going so hot.

So by bath time I was really tired and stressed and I just wanted to survive until the kids’ bed time. So I put the kids in the nice freshly cleaned tub. Yesterday I’d spent every free minute cleaning everything. I soaked the bath toys in bleach, scrubbed out the nooks and crannies with a toothbrush and then ran them through the dishwasher. Then I soaked the bath toy storage bags in vinegar water to remove the soap scum, ran them through the washer with a little bit of detergent and then did another cycle with vinegar. They looked brand new…it was awesome! And finally, I scrubbed out the entire tub with Comet.

I’m sure you can guess what this is leading up to….yup, Kelvin pooped in the tub!!! And not just a turd…a soupy, messy poop that got all over everything! Honestly, my first reaction was to laugh. I just could not even believe that this was happening to me. And I was so exhausted, I didn’t even know what to do. So then I started bawling. It was kind of interesting.

So yes…I got to do all that cleaning all over again tonight. I was not pleased. At all.

All I can say is that tomorrow HAS to be better!!! And also, I’m so glad Chad was the one dealing with my computer…if I’d had to deal with that on top of everything else, I probably would have thrown the computer out the window….for real!!!
