Lovely Brown Crackers!

Lately I'm finding that life likes to give things in small doses. Ofcourse only when It decides to. And never when we expect it.

Yesterday I was busily typing away in my office, content that my children were occupied by the yammerings of Goofy on tv while I worked on some emails. My darling son came up to me and handed me something small, brown and squishy. It looked an odd shade for the fistful of crackers he had been nibbling on. I caught a strange whiff. What was that bizarre smell?

I ran my eyes down his arm and stared at his grubby hands.

Grubby?

Uh-oh.

Traces of poop smeared up his arm and leaked out of his bulging diaper. Worst still, his binky held tell-tale traces of an experimental snack.

*Aauugghhh!!!*

MAY-DAY!!! I scooped him up in one quick stride and holding him as far away from me as I could manage, tanked to the bathroom, his legs dangling in mid air as he sucked nonchalantly away on his binky. I could just hear his little mind thinking that this was purely elementary behaviour in the Bell household! Frantic mother. Clueless child. Haha, if you can imagine it, we must have looked pretty funny!

I plunked him in the tub fully dressed and wrenched the hot and cold faucets around to their limits until water belched its way out at high velocity. As the water jetted into the tub and as Cougar endeavored to drown our bathroom by sticking his finger beneath the faucet and spraying the walls, myself included, I proceeded to peel off the poopy-ridden onesie that was now beginning to smell like my little brown and squishy "cracker".

*sigh* My little angel.

And that was definitely no cracker! LOL!!

Two days ago, I received the best phone call from my soul mate. He was being demo'd (demobilized) and he would be on his way home in the morning! As I type, he is only a few miles away from Phoenix. He and his crew have been driving all day today. I will see him in a couple more hours. I wasn't expecting him home until Sunday, so this is better than Christmas!

I'm soooooo happy he's finally coming home!!



Here is a pic of my beloved hubby playing Mr. Mom and being the biggest sweetheart cleaning our very messy livingroom on a laundry day. No wonder I can't live without him! Hee-hee!!

(OMGosh!! That room really is a mess!!! (See, Aubry? It DOES get messy around here, haha!) And when was the last time I straightened up the picture frames on the back wall? Umm........ LOL!!!)

There is saying from a prominent breakfast cereal company that says, "It's the [small and] simple things in life that are often the best".

And might I add, "And also the funniest!"

How true that is. :)
