So far my 31st birthday morning has been spent cleaning poop. Stella somewhere in the dead of night woke up with a poopy diaper, decided it wasn't important to wake me up but that maybe she could handle this "clean the booty" thing ..I'm assuming upon realizing that it's GROSS!! she then decided to smear it on her crib railing in an attempt to get it off her hands. Pardon me whilst I dry heave. Now I'm going to spend the next week paranoid that she may or may not get hand, foot, & mouth disease. And thanks to this CNN report I am currently FREAKIN OUT! I've just been repeating to myself. "Self, every toddler has done this at one point or another it's just a curiosity...You're Not Alone...You're Not Alone"
Fake it till you make it...
And then puppy Zoe pooptime. It's oh so much fun trying to pick up after a puppy that's so happy to see you (even though you've been out of the room for 2 minutes) that she's got to lick your face every time you bend down...to pick up her poop.
And as I kissed my dear hubby goodbye this morning after snapping at him, after discovering that the poor guy has no clean underwear because yours truly hasn't washed a stitch of clothing in what is it 3 or 4 days now*. (how he puts up with my BS I'll never know) He still said "I love you and have a good birth day" What a man. What a birthday... I'm hoping by lunchtime things will have improved. In the meantime I'm hoping that the birthday gods will step up and give me an Obama NC win in today's primary. That would be one awesome birthday present!
*footnote: Just for the record the Hubby has NO problem washing clothes or dishes or cleaning the house, it's just that I agreed to start taking over those tasks now that he's working more than I am and well... I suck at them.

I only do laundry once a week - so just make sure he has at least seven pairs of underwear! I'm lucky, though, b/c Evan loves doing the laundry as much as I do, so we can share it instead of delegating it.
Happy Birthday, Franny! Hugs and Kisses and Bottles of Wine from me!
Happy Birthday!!!! Hope the rest of your day was better after that poopy start. Isn't it funny how independent girls are?
I am also VERY bad at the laundry and housework; hubs ends up doing a few loads every so often because we get backed up with piles of it.
My boy had hand/foot/mouth as a preschooler (I think it's quite common in a daycare setting), but my 8 month old niece also just had it and she's got a nanny at home. I'm thinking that the cases in China are particularly virulent as I've always thought that it's almost a "rite of passage" for small children. Very sad there, though.
Hope you do something special for your big day tonight... even if it's opening up a nice bottle of wine. 31 is a very good year ;)
