Jail Vs. Nursing Home

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

I actually received this in an email, but I had to pass it along. It’s sooo true —

Let’s put the seniors in jail, and the criminals in a nursing home. This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies, and walks, they’d receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc. and they’d receive money instead of paying it out. They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly ,if they fell, or needed assistance. Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them. A guard would check on them every 20 minutes, and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. They would have access to a library, weight room,spiritual counseling, pool, and education. Simple clothing , shoes, slippers, P.J.’s and legal aid would be free, on request. Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard ,with gardens. Each senior could have a P.C. a T.V. radio, and daily phone calls. There would be a board of directors , to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct, that would be strictly adhered to.

The “criminals” would get cold food, be left all alone, and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room , and pay $5000.00 per month and have no hope of ever getting out. Justice for all.

Wordless Wednesday

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

Will is not always happy go lucky. He is not crying because he hurt himself or has wet crib bedding. He was crying, because I would not let him play with my camera. I know, mean mommy! After about 2 minutes, he was back to his normal happy go lucky self. I couldn’t resist taking this picture — it is too darn cute.

Can somebody please help?

I think I will go insane. Something is wrong with Will. I think this started Wednesday already. His face broke out with a rash on Wednesday. I have been putting Nystatin on it and by Thursday morning the majority of it went away. However, he has been throwing up big time. Here’s where it gets fun since you don’t know what is real throw up and what is just acid reflux. It all looks the same. Plus, he pooped through 2 diaper yesterday. He’s also eating about half the formula he normally does.

This morning I get up and he pooped through his diaper again. So again, I have to strip all of his bedding (his diaper leaked during naptime yesterday). However, I can’t reach his mattress very well since I am short and Bill dropped his crib down a level. He also has a bumper. It took me while, but I managed to get his mattress out to put on new bedding. However, the bumper was in the way. Each section of the bumper was tied onto the crib. The only way I was getting his mattress back in was to take off the bumper. (I didn’t attempt to do any of this till after I had fed Will. I think put him in the Megasaucer.) While doing this (which took a while), Will proceeds to cry. I can’t get him since I have to get the mattress back in so he can take a nap later. Madison is crying because I won’t stop what I am doing and attend to her. Good times, let me tel you, good times.

Like a moron, I decide to give Will the rest of his bottle after I got his mattress back in. He literally threw up 3 oz of formula projectile across me and, him, and the couch. I am seriously wondering if he has the flu. Madison’s birthday party is tomorrow. I know have to figure out what the hell I am going to do . . . .

We will be leaving for the chiropractor shortly, so maybe she can give me some insight. I don’t know why I am so stressed out right now, but I am. I keep repeating to myself: “God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;” and taking deep breathes. It’s only 10 o’clock, and I have a long day with these crabby kids.

Bad Morning

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

I know there are a ton of people out there who think a stay at home moms life is simple and easy. I wish. Here’s a snapshot of my morning –

First, Bill overslept by a lot (like over an hour) and he has a meeting this morning. We are in the process of potty training Madison overnight, and she had an accident. Will also woke up and wanted to fed at that moment. I have 2 crying kids and a pissed off husband. It was great. Here’s everything that had to be done:

1. Get Bill out the door.

2. Get Madison naked and throw her in the tub. I also had to wash her hair.

3. Rip all the bedding off Madison’s bed and throw it in the washing machine.

4. Flip my laundry so I can do #4

5. Load the dishwasher, because I am almost out of nipples.

6. Make Will his bottle

7. Make Will his cereal

8. Check on Madison to make sure she is still doing okay.

9. Grab Will and feed him.

That was about 15 minutes of my life this morning. Why is this job unpaid again?

Kids and their bodily fluids

I thought that title would get your attention. Also, it serves as a great warning say if your are eating breakfast and don’t want to hear about things like bodily fluids over your breakfast. Ok, on with the story . . .

My bodily fluid day started at the doctors office. While being weighed, Will proceeded to pee all over the scale and me and the nurse and himself. It was great, let me tell you. Then after we got home, Will proceeded to pee on me twice while I was trying to change him. I thought this was the end of my fun. I was wrong. About 11 pm last night, I fed Will in my bed. I was being lazy and did want to take him back into the living room which has not been a problem. Last night, however, he ate his bottle and then proceeded to throw up all over me and my bed. Not a little, mind you. I had to change my clothes, and we had to rip all the bedding off the bed. My entire side of the bed was covered in puke.

I thought we were done with this stuff by today. Madison climbed into bed with me this morning. I was feeding Will about 8 and I noticed a wet spot on the bed on Bill’s side (and I was pretty sure Bill didn’t wet the bed). This is where Madison lays when she climbs into bed with me. Her diaper leaked!!!!

So today has now turned into “let’s wash all the bedding” day. I tell you, its great being a housewife. Somebody please help me . . .
