Haiku Friday: You're Fired!!
Friday, May 9, 2008 at 11:04AM 
Why, oh, why this week?
Don’t the dogs realize that
I’m crazy busy?!
Not a good idea
To roll in some poop
And come in the house.
On that note, BamBam
Could you please not wet the bed
Just one night this week.
‘cuz doing laundry
was not on my to do list
on top of all else!
And Princess, to you:
SOFT POOP HAPPENS! It just does.
Please stop freaking out.
You cannot stay home.
Enough with the drama, girl.
You are not that sick.
I have one question
For you mommies and daddies:
Can I fire myself?!
No, really, can I?
I could really use time off.
I am SO beyond.

You know, it never fails. The 2 or 3 weeks a year when I way over schedule myself, all hell seems to break loose in MommyCosm. Maybe it’s the energy that I’m giving off? I did wake up with dread on Monday morning knowing how incredibly difficult it was going to be to pull off all that was scheduled. So far, I've managed, but it's the extra crap (pun intended) that I can't deal with.
So, yes, Princess got diarrhea at school and freaked out. She was home 2 ½ days this week. Each dog decided it was time for the semi-annual bath. Chester got poop stuck to his butt and rubbed it all over my carpet and back porch. Just now, Jasper thought it should be his turn, so he rolled in poop. He's tied up outside waiting for my husband to get home because I just don't have time to deal with it!! BamBam wet various beds 3 nights this week. I swear he holds it all in and just lets loose because I've woken up to check him as late as 5am. He’s wearing size 7 pull ups to bed. Any suggestions on how to keep him dry, please do tell. I’m at a complete loss.
I am failing miserably at my job this week. I’d like a job performance review because I think I need to be fired. I know it. Everyone around me knows it. It’s time we all face it. I'm not qualified for my current job responsibilities.
I’d settle for a suspension with pay. After all, as a stay-at-home mom, I should be making $117,000, right?

Sounds like you have a lot going on. That's always good inspiration.
HA! 117k a year would be fan-freaking-tastic...okay, I have to stop fantasizing about what I'd do with all that. Sorry to hear about all the poop stuff. The only thing I can think to tell you about BamBam's bedwetting is that we use those rubberized pads underneath our daughter when she's sleeping...It's better than having to wash all the sheets. Of course it only works when she doesn't roll ALL over the bed. Good luck!
Dogs always seem to manage the most disgusting crap to roll in..ugh! Take Sunday off. I think that's the only day we are "fired."
