Papa and a rolling stone

Mar 05, 2013 20:11

OMG How are all of you!? I hope you're well.

Things are so crazy around here. It's now less than a month until I go back to work on April 1, and in the past few weeks Mr S did something to his back, which just got worse and worse until it went right out. He's been to the chiro and is getting treatment, but it means it has gone from two parents and one baby in the house, to the opposite. Which comes out to about a 400% increase in workload for Mom around this joint, if you want to do the math.

Now normally Mr S is a super involved, 50/50 type daddy, I swear he is. But these days the Snickerdoodle is asleep when he goes to work in the morning, and only awake for a couple hours after he gets home, and clearly I haven't been giving him enough of his share of the diaper duty on weekends, because this just happened:



Mr - OMG it's hard! Like a solid poo. Congratulations Doodle, your first turd!
Snick - (from other room) No it isn't, it's been like that for about a month.
M - (walking in to room with baby) Hey Doodle, want to tell mommy what you did? You kicked the diaper out of daddy's hand, so the turd ball rolled across the change table! ...Can you take him, I need to wash my hands.
S - Um. Is it on you?
M - Well, I had to pick it up with my bare hand.
S - ...You could have picked it up with a wipe.
M - OH YEAH. I forgot about baby wipes!!
S - *ALL OF THE FLAIL*

Oh it's gonna be an interesting three months with these two alone in the house until Mr S goes back to work...

Love and hugs,
'Snick
