Doing his business

Here is an example of “one day in my life” to make you laugh…

Sunday was fairly nice here... especially in the afternoon… so late in the afternoon I was sitting on the deck reading a book while the boys played in the back yard. I wasn’t really watching them... more like listening to them… you know... listening for the blood curdling scream should one of them hurt themselves or start to beat each other senseless with a plastic bat or golf club.. etc etc.

Next thing I know Josh is yelling to me from the house part of the swing set. “Mom I went poop on the hill like Molly does!” (Molly would be our dog). I drag my eyes out of my book and look up and say “What??” So Josh repeats himself... to stop myself from bursting out laughing I quickly poke my head in the screen door where Joe is in the kitchen getting a bite to eat and tell him what Josh just said… His reaction was something along the lines of “for the love of God aren’t you watching them??”

So I head out to the back yard…plastic bags in hand and Josh starts squirming... “Mom... I think I have poop on my undies...” No really??? I told him to go in the bathroom and wipe his butt good and put on new undies if they are dirty. Off I go to pick up my son’s poop from the hill cause I know if the dog comes out and smells it she will most likely eat it... (ugh.. puke puke .. soooo gross). And as long as I am picking up poop on the back hill… I might as well pick up the dogs too right? So I spent the next 10 minutes picking up dog and Josh poop with Matty’s help.. (he pointed out any that I may have missed). When I walked back by the house I heard Joe in the bathroom with Josh (window was open). Josh was in the shower and Joe was saying “How did you get poop all over your legs! Don’t poop on the hill again. You are a boy not a dog…” etc etc

I just smiled to myself and figured I got the better of the two jobs and went about watering the grass like I had not overheard the conversation!

Needless to say there was a pair of blue and white camouflage undies in the kitchen garbage when I went in the house that night… when I asked why they were there the reply from Joe was “I wasn’t gonna clean them and you wouldn’t want to either!”

That’s when I new I definitely go the better of the two jobs! Life is fair sometimes
