Poop Picasso (and the crappy day)

Yesterday was sort of an adventure for me. I had an appointment to get my oil changed at 9:15. I told the service advisor I needed to pick my kids up at noon and she said it was no problem because the service would take no longer than an hour and a half. I walked over to Target with Liam and we shopped and had a snack. Around 10:15 we headed back to Toyota and waited in their kids' playroom, which has toys and Disney Junior on tv. I noticed that Mickey Mouse was on. Then Jake and the Neverland Pirates came on, and then another Mickey--and I realized, hey, I've been here for a while! SO I went to check on the status of my car and it was already 11:25! They promised me it was almost done, but I didn't get out of there until 11:47! I got to Bailey and Derrick's school at 11:58! Talk about cutting it close!!

Anyway, by the time we got home, Liam and I were both tired and hungry, so I made lunch and put him in for a nap. Only he didn't go to sleep--he pooped. Not only did he poop, but he took his diaper off and then smeared the poop EVERYWHERE. I mean, on the walls, on the door, on himself, all over the carpet--it was a royal mess! So I had to put him in the tub, start a load of wash, wipe up all of the poop and then shampoo the carpet! It was definitely NOT the quiet, restful afternoon I'd had in mind! Of course he didn't get to nap before we had to go to the bus stop, either, so he was a real joy! I told Will that he needed to take me out to dinner or at least order a pizza, because I'd had a truly CRAPPY day (with literal crap!!). LOL. I am sure I will laugh about this someday.
