1. My 4 year old does not know how to wipe his little derrier on his own yet. This means that whenever he needs to do this, he calls out to me, very loudly, “Help me wipe, please!!” And then when he doesn’t hear me coming or answer, he yells it out again, this time louder, “HELP ME WIIIIIIIIIIPE!” And then, sometimes even a third time….”HELP. ME. WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPE PLEASE!” 9.5 times out of 10 his bowels decide to let loose when I have just finally gotten the baby to sleep. So, being the loving mother that I am, I make him wait long enough for me to get the baby sleepy enough to lay down. By then, his feet have started tingling while he hangs from the seat and he’s now only pathetically whispering,
“help me wipe…please?”
2. Snot, here, there. Everywhere. Snot. (hmmm, this was the same whine I had the last time I whined….anyone have any cool anti-snot lasers?)
3. My 17 month old has turned into a screaming monkey again…(as I blog) that does not sound very good when my ears are all clogged up and my head hurts from clogged sinuses and ‘allergies’.
It’s good to do a reality check in our ‘perfect’ lives. Get the code for the picture here and link back here if you want to join Whiney Wednesday in your blog. Then leave a comment here (even if you don’t have a blog) or on the Erika Marie/simplemama facebook page if that’s easier.

Oh and Gemma is notorious, I will walk by the bathroom and ask, “Gemma are you finished.”
“No mommy.”
and as I’m walking away…
“Mommy, I’m done.”
ACK!
Yay! Welcome Megan! Thanks for letting me know Monica.
Yes, I’ll ask Nicholas to please go to the bathroom before I try and put James down or go down/up stairs….guess you can’t train the bowels.
Debi-glad it’s not just me!
Hey lady! Sorry I didn’t link up…I tried to copy and paste the code for your icon/button thing, and all it did was show up as html coding, rather than a linkable image. I’ll try it again on next week’s link up, and if I still can’t get it to work, I’ll just link to you below the image!
Also, my oldest child knows how to wipe (thank the Lord) but it’s so true that your children all of a sudden need you RIGHT when baby is thisclose to sleeping. Of course!
No worries Megan! I’m glad to have another whiner on board!
Yeah just stick a link below the pic and that will be just fine.
Yes, kids have an inconvenient concept of time!
