Sometimes I get so upset. Usually, I have my reasons but occasionally it is just baseless…lol. However, today I got so upset because I had my whole day mentally planned out, yet things chose not to go the way I had planned.
I picked out the children’s cloth the last night, meticulously ironed them and get them ready for this morning. While trying to dress my daughter up and a zipper came off her top thereby ruining it, so I had to think of plan B immediately, which was to pick out another attire altogether. I was still silently sucking at this happening when my son insisted on doing his own buttons so that is extra 10 minutes added to my morning kids-school-prep time. I finally got them ready and was about to set out when my 21 month old daughter said what every mother does not want to hear when you are running late on a Monday morning : “ I poo-poo mommy”!
“Seriously? You have got to be kidding me” I said as I tried to maintain my composure, so she doesn’t feel embarrassed because she is a very sensitive little girl. I calmly tell myself ” Hey Funmi, come off it, things happen in life”. Shit happens! Actually, poop happens literally. So I carefully examined the havoc done to the nappy. It was explosive and humongous. I prayed hard under my breathe to God. I said “ Lord, help me!” Indeed He did, because I succeeded in clearing the mess, washed her up with soap and water, dried her up and got a new nappy and new pair of socks. We finally set out for the day.
My luxurious mommy life. I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world.
P:S : This incident happened when my daughter was 21 months old, now she is 31 months old.
