Temporarily Insane Adventures in Poo

So, I used the think the ability to plead temporary insanity was a load of bullcrap. If a guy chops someone into 12 pieces he, simply put, is just a psychopath and should be put away. There is no way that someone who does something like that can ever be rehabilited and be a normal productive part of society, and it makes me mad that people can get off of a crime by saying that they just went temporarily crazy. Now, I am no psychologist but I think I did actually go temporarily insane this morning.

REWIND.......so I'm in McDonalds getting some coffee so that I can sit and drink and read my new Weight Watchers (ie. cheeseburger rehab) materials while Seth plays with the kids. They were brewing a new pot, when Seth says to me....Mama I need to go pee pee. I look around, there's only like....two other people in the restaurant. So (and this is where the insanity part comes in) I think, Seth's pretty good now at doing the potty routine and getting older. I'll let him go by himself....what could happen? Seth announces he'll be right back, and runs off to the ladies room.

I got my coffee, did the cream and sugar thing and then find a table in the kids room. I put my stuff down and then look up to see my son coming out of the bathroom. I called him name and waved him down but he didn't see me, and runs over to the counter area to find me. By this time, a line has formed. When suddenly I realize that Seth is not wearing any shoes.......and what was that in his hand? His underwear? OH NO! I cried out in my head. So I grab the baby, the bag, ditch the coffee and book on the table and run to where he is. Yes, it was in fact his underwear and I quickly escort him back into the bathroom. His underwear had three lovely little turds in it (he didn't make it ) and his shoes were left on the floor in the bathroom. All in all, no harm done (with the exception of the poor people in line who suddenly didn't feel like eating anymore). In fact I'm very surprised that he bothered to put his shorts back on too. What was I thinking? I'm telling you......temporary insanity.

This entire past six months, and I have said it to some of my family members, has been one big adventure in Poo. Seth being our first, and us not really knowing how to go about it, we have just finally cracked down on the potty training adventure, though it is still not without a few bumps along the way. I also used cloth diapers with John, which was a learning experience for me, and now that he has outgrown the ones be bought he has many more diaper explosions since paper diapers just don't contain breast-fed baby poo like cloth do. So where am I going with this? um...I dont' know. Maybe I'm going insane again.
