17 Minutes
Today was not out of the ordinary until about 4:00PM. I don’t know what was in the air, but we earned our parent stripes. It went something like this all in a matter of 17 minutes. Baby Girl projectile vomits all over herself, me and the new couch. Take Baby Girl upstairs for a bath. Send Hubby in with a towel to clean up the mess. While bathing Baby Girl, Big Brother runs face first into our bedroom door. Tears prevail. Send Hubby downstairs to get ice for Big Brother’s face. Baby Girl is upset by Big Brother’s crying and decides to join in. Both kids crying simultaneously. Awesome. Kids settle down, take Baby Girl into her room to get her dressed, meanwhile Big Brother yells in from the bathroom, “Mamma, I had an accident. “ He couldn’t get his pants down fast enough and peed all over the bathroom floor. Send Hubby in with a mop to clean up the mess. Send Big Brother into the shower to clean off his leg. After the shower, I put him in his jammies. I don’t care that it’s 4:15PM. Put Baby Girl in her crib to rest. Send Hubby to restaurant with friends to watch football, drink beer and eat fried food. Curl up with Big Brother on the couch (the vomit free couch), open a Diet Coke and watch a Christmas movie. (I realize the season is over, but the holiday spirit sill remains) It may not be a glamorous life, living in the suburbs with two kids, but a lot can happen…even in 17 minutes. 3 comments from 3 users

I always say the defining moment of motherhood is not giving birth, it's the first time your child vomits on you...good times! I guess if there is a silver lining, it's that it only lasted 17 minutes. But oh what 17 minutes they were!
