You know you're a parent when...
| | The past 3 weeks have been a disaster. My house has been a cesspool of disease..husband, toddler and baby each rotating their demands.
Trying to balance work and home in a house full of sick proved to be quite difficult. But once I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to get absolutely NOTHING accomplished, things started to get a little easier.
And then my kid pooped in the bathtub.
You know you're a parent when... Here's to another day in paradise. |
