Move Over Tanya Harding, There's Some New Trash In Town

So this is what I think. If you go a long time without blogging, it is very easy not to blog. But once you start again, it's really hard to shut up. At least for me it is. So here I am. Back at the computer.

If you could see me right now you would think I look like total white trash. And that is because I do. I didn't mean for it to happen that way, it just did. After my shower today I threw on some sweats and Steve's old Army t-shirt. I didn't have time to do my hair and makeup in between all the fights I was breaking up and all the poop I was cleaning up. Yeah, you heard me. POOP. I've been cleaning it up all day long. Addison is on her 4th round of antibiotics for an ear infection that won't go away. They seem to cause a problem with her bowels. Not to mention the fact that there has been a little stomach virus thing going on around here.

You are probably wondering why I am blogging about such a lovely subject. Me too. Maybe I just need to talk and I have nothing else to say that I really want to say right now.

Oh wait, I forgot. There is a point after all. I was so glad the last time Addy pooped and I didn't know it and I put her on my lap and, well, then I knew. But that set off a chain of events that lead to a glorious discovery.

After she pooped on me I handed her over to Steve and went to find something to wear. She has gone through every outfit she owns today so I also had to dig something up to put on her. I grabbed a pair of my jeans that I don't particularly care for, but they are the only clean thing I own at the moment. I picked them up and found something for Addison to wear. I took Addison's clothes into her room to give to Steve. When I went in I hung the ugly jeans over the side of Addy's crib. When I did that....AHHHHHHHH (angel chorus from Heaven)......... my debit card fell out of the pocket. I have been missing that thing for weeks now.

You see, we went somewhere and for some reason Steve needed my debit card and he never gave it back to me. He put it on the kitchen counter a few days later. We were having people in and out of our house working so I knew I did something with it because I didn't want to leave it out, but I couldn't remember what. I have looked everywhere. I just can't tell you how excited I am. I can actually go to Costco now and buy gas and not just drive up, get ready to pump and realize I can't get gas there without my debit card.

Anyhoo, after I put the nasty jeans on I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and the first image that popped into my head was Tanya Harding and her white trash ways.

(sigh).....OK so obviously I am rambling now.....(sigh)......I guess I should go feed the kids dinner or something......(sigh)......do some laundry......(sigh).......I am sure Addison has pooped again.....(sigh)......I am sure you have better things to do........it is kind of weird that my dad won't be reading this post.......He would have thought the Tanya Harding thing was funny.......

Maren gets really bad in the diaper when she is on the antibiotics, try acidophilus. I sound like one of those kooks, but it works. They make it for babies. It gives back the good bacteria they need for their digestion. Good luck with the poop factory.

Thanks Alicia.

Diana, honestly. I would have no friends left if I did.
