And now since it is Friday- and I have a feeling I am going to need a good laugh this weekend, I leave you with a little tale about my amazing preparedness skills.

---------------------
As an experienced mom, I am always prepared. You learn you need to plan for anything and so my extra large diaper bag comes in handy.

So when we left the dollar store and Ryder's shorts felt wet- I of course was prepared with wipes and a new diaper. And when I began to change him and realized it wasn't only pee that leaked and was a very corn-filled diaper (corn is weird like that you know) of course I have an extra pair of shorts in my very large diaper bag.

Let's see:
Toy train
Books
Paci wipes
Table mats
Half eaten food
Cheerios
Toy cars

No shorts.

But we drove across town and my next stop was right next door. I just had a couple of things I needed to get.

Hmm a few extra wipes- sure it's a wet spot, but he'll be sitting on that no one will notice.

In and out and success.

Awesome! What the heck, let's make one more stop on our way home.

Glad I am one of those amazingly prepared moms.

  1. Ah- no one really cares like we think they do - I have taken Ian around in just a diaper b/c of the exact same reason - I am out and I am getting my errands DONE regardless of how he looks!

  8. I can not even tell you how many times my children have had to go in just a diaper because I forget to carry extra clothing with me.

    I bet no one even noticed his wet shorts! :)

  10. I have an amazingly large diaper bag for just this reason. So imagine my dismay when I was surprised by poop at a fancy restaurant (don't ask why we were at a fancy restaurant with our 2 year old, we were on vacation and it's a long story) and couldn't find an extra dress in the diaper bag. Thank goodness we had an extra change of clothes for her in the car!

  12. Agh! Corn poop is so icky! The first time I changed one of those, I instant messaged Jerk Face and told him what my new 'favorite diaper' was! :) (I'm a little sick like that... I just like to imagine him cringing)

  17. I think we've all been in that position at one time or another. No harm, no foul.

    And darn it, I REALLY wanted to win that scrapbook stuff!

  18. I once forgot to put a diaper on my daughter before we left the house.

  20. I always forget something. After 5 kids, you would think I would have the diaper bag down. But nope, I don't.

  21. I need to be better prepared. I never have an extra set of clothes, and sometimes I don't even have a diaper.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Okay...I couldn't help chuckling just a bit...to all you moms out there...you rock!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I would have been so impressed if you had an extra pair of shorts! As a mom, I've done things I would have never imagined before having kids, and I'm good with that. :)

  24. Some days we have to laugh, don't we? That's a great story. Remind me to tell you about the corn video sometime. :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Haha! I find that I'm prepared with all the stuff I need on days I don't need them. The day I forget to bring an extra diaper is the day I would seriously need it. Life's like that. :) Love what you did to overcome a hurdle ;)

  26. LOL It's amazing what we can do when we have to :)

  27. I'm terrible at being prepared... except our van is always a mess and I can usually find whatever we need in there. Though not on purpose.
