OMW, bless your stinkin heart! I would have called them to come take me away HA HA!

A few weeks ago I was in Aldi and there was a mother with her two children and they were NOT behaving and she was NOT doing anything about it. While she was paying, her son (who was about 3ish) was RUNNING up and down the counter that you sack groceries on and she didn’t say ONE WORD. I was speechless.

I know you’re at least TRYING to keep them under control, this woman clearly was not LOL

Honey, you sound like you need a girls night out. :) What a day – so sorry!

I have been known to throw out brand-new pairs of pants, sheets, whatever, that have been pooped upon because I just can’t deal with it. And this is while at home – I wasn’t even out and about like you, where you had absolutely nothing to clean it up with!

Yes, why do they NOT have Paper towels??? Then the toliet paper is so thin you can see through it.
Our McD does not even have a changing table???
Talk about kid friendly.
So glad other moms have great days like me. :)

Sorry! The whole part about Madeline climbing into the icebox? LOL. :)

Thanks for keeping it real girlfriend.

And as always, why why WHY the huge poop blowouts when out and about and ZERO diaper changing accessories to be had?

I am not sure how I found your blog but I am so glad I did.
The story is very funny but I do feel bad for you. As my kids say, “Some days you are the windshield and some days you are the bug.”
I sure hope things get easier the rest of the week.

That’s awful!! But it did make me laugh out loud. We’ve had to throw away underwear many times, but not at McDonald’s yet. I’m sure that one is coming. I hope today was better for you.

Been there….Done that….you are not alone!

I feel your pain…truly I do. I can tell you however, it does get better.

Garrrr! You make me glad my kids are older! I’m so glad I have no one in my house who ever poops in his pants :) Not that they aren’t adorable! But, it’s nice to have all poop in the potty!

Ya, that one was pretty painful. Today has to look up! :) We’ve had to throw away panties too.
I climbed up to get my daughter in a McDonalds playground 8 months pregnant. We now only go to a certain chick-fil-a that I know she can do all.by.herself. (well, she can do any now, but then I went and had another kid who can’t reach.)

I got to climb that McDonald’s playground once when I was pregnant. :)

Well, I was thinking about taking my kids to Hobby Lobby today. You have talked me out of it. Well, that and the fact that every time I go there, James tries to eat those fake grapes they have draped everywhere.

i’m dying-that’s the worst story ever! i think that might have caused me to pretend i didn’t know them, and just head back home alone…! ;) good luck today!

Here’s hoping today goes MUCH better for you!

And, honestly, I wouldn’t bother deleting the poop story. To this day, my parents still love to bring up the my poop story from when I was 2 years old.

Oh the joys of motherhood…maybe I’ll put it off a little longer :)

I’m sending you a virtual Venti Caramel Macchiato. It may quite possibly be laced with Xanax.

You’re welcome.
