Yup, it's Monday!

Warning: graphic descriptions are included in this post!!!!!
So yes, it's definitely Monday in the Faber household! What an interesting day...
For those of you who have ever asked a stay-at-home Mom what she does all day (and lived to tell about it) here's a little run-down of my day to clue you in...and a little helpful advice: don't EVER ask that question!!!
The day started off rather well...both kiddos let me sleep in til almost 8am, woohoo! :) Claire slept for another hour or so while I got Zoey and I some breakfast. Claire woke up and I didn't have time to finish my coffee, so I brought it down to the living room with me while I fed her...mistake #1. Despite being told numerous times, Zoey cannot keep her hands off of things on our end tables...the iPad, remote control, cell phone, drinks, snacks, magazines, Bibles, etc...are all she can think about, even with a living room strewn with toys and books. So of course, she grabs for my coffee and spills it all over the floor. This is now the third coffee stain on our light blue living room carpet...all 3 stains caused by Zoey...you'd think I would have learned my lesson by now, but apparently not! ha! :P So I blotted and scrubbed, but alas...this remained:

Zoey was very distressed after all that, so I sat her on the couch next to me and let her play a few toddler games on my iPad while Claire napped in her swing...mistake #2. She is SO obsessed with that thing, it's slightly ridiculous. Any time I have it open, she will race over from wherever she's been and crawl all over me, jabbing her little fingers at everything. :) She has to be under constant supervision while she plays it because she knows how to do things on it that I don't even know how to do...like delete everything. So I watched her play it while I ate some lunch. An hour or so later, the battery is running low so I take it away from her. A fit is thrown. She jumps off the couch and proceeds to scream and cry...while grabbing at her......diaper area. I wasn't sure if that was just part of her tantrum or what, but after more screaming and grabbing, I checked her pants. She'd pooped...probably right before she started playing with the iPad an hour before. She'd been so engrossed in the iPad she didn't let me know she had dirty pants...and I couldn't smell it for some odd reason. Usually there's no mistaking she has a dirty diaper. :P She had major, flaming diaper rash...poor thing, I felt awful!!!!!! So I got her cleaned up and put some coconut oil on her...it's a miracle worker, I tell ya! With all the screaming, Claire had woken up...as I lift her out of the swing, I can hear telltale signs that she too is going to have a dirty diaper very soon. So I take her up to her room and proceed to change her diaper in her crib on a changing pad...mistake #3. I should have changed her on the changing pad on the FLOOR! I get the diaper off, get her cleaned up and before I can get another one under her, she poops some more...like liquid, projectile poop. And did it stay on the changing pad? Of course not! It squirted all over her crib, and then settled in a little puddle under her. And then she peed. I stepped back, kinda threw my hands up in the air and screamed a little...which Zoey found hilarious. So we both stood there laughing while poor Claire laid covered in poo and pee, crying...at which point I decided both kiddos just needed a bath!!!!! I have never given both kiddos a bath at the same time by myself before...just too big of an undertaking. But I managed! Yes, I know you're not supposed to put the infant tub in a bathtub full of water, but I did it anyway. Both kiddos are still alive, imagine that. :P Both got scrubbed, rinsed, dried, lotioned, and diaper rash creamed up! We then proceeded to the living room where I collapsed onto the couch...and both kiddos promptly fell asleep. Whew!!!!!!!!
So what do I do all day?!??! Let me give you a rundown...I have fed both Zoey and myself both 2 meals. I have changed 8 wet diapers and 6 poopy ones...I have given 2 baths...and nursed Claire 6 times. I did not get the dishes done like I had planned...and I have not gotten any laundry done either. Altho' I will obviously have to as the crib is in no shape to be slept in. :P So that's my 8am-5pm day, and I don't get to quit at 5 either... :P All in a day's work...yes, I am a supermom! ;)
