Oh, The Messes I Have Seen

I will never forget how messy the early years were. I had no idea…

  • the number of diapers I would change…3 kids…3.5 years each in diapers…pullups at night for a bit…
  • the mouths I would wipe…
  • the clothing I would scrub, pre-treat, bleach, soak, and launder…only to find that the stains were permanent…
  • the laundry I would do…
  • the piles of laundry I would step over, never get around to folding, and finally root through to find an outfit to wear…
  • the messes I would clean up…
  • the beds I would strip of wet sheets…
  • the decayed food I would chip out of the 2 cars and 2 minivans…
  • the missing sippy cups and bottles I would find stowed under seats with curdled milk and mystery liquids…
  • the food I would find behind couches or in the bottom of the diaper bag or between couch cushions…always crumbly or wet or sticky…
