Neck Problems
Did you know that being a single parent is rough sometimes? No, seriously it's not really fun and games all day. I can't believe it either. I totally thought my kids would listen to me and help me around the house.
So, this past Saturday I hurt my neck. Still not sure if I pinched something, pulled something, or hey just got out of whack. All I do know is that spending a half hour on the floor because you can't move your right arm sucked! I'm doing good now and I'm guessing it was probably a mixture of tension, stress, anxiety, etc. resulting in a pulled muscle.
Anyway, the point of this story is what happened on Sunday afternoon. I still was feeling pretty rough on Sunday. So my Mom came by in the afternoon for about 2 hours (intention being to rub my neck and then let me nap). Probably within 20 minutes of showing up, Nick comes barreling down the stairs just a hollarin' about needed help with Aiden.
Aiden had not only pooped in his diaper, he took off his pants, took off his diaper (in the upstairs bathroom), attempted to climb up on the toilet, and when that didn't work, he attempted to wipe himself and clean up the mess. There was poop all over the bathroom, Aiden got a bath, and my Mom totally felt sorry for me. SWEET! You can always rely on your parents (parents-in-law) to feel the pain because believe or not at one time they were in the same situations AND they always seem to have the good stash of pain killers.
