]]> The “home alone on a Wednesday evening” Edition.
When you’re a mama, you must make the best of things.
Like, when your little girl takes her sippy cup and dumps the entire thing of water over her head…
Oh well. That’s one less bath I have to give.
Or, maybe your little girl decides she wants to eat her pasta with a spoon, and feed it to herself, which loosely translates into smashing said spaghetti into her hair…
Wow! I never knew how stunning she would look as a redhead!
Or, when your little girl knocks over a cup of water onto her dresser, soaking the entire wood facade…
Ok. Dont’ have to scrub that piece of furniture today!
Or, perhaps, when you decide to carry your little girl, completely naked, into the bathroom for her tub time
and she,
you know,
pees all over you,
the bath mat,
and your freshly washed and donned pajamas.
Fabu! One less diaper to change. And, I totally didn’t like this warm, just out of the dryer pair of jam jams anyway.
So, pour yourself a big ol’ cup of the lemonade you made from those lemons
and be thankful.
It was only pee this time.

]]> that there are times that you may find a piece of fried chicken in your baby’s bellybutton.
Strange,
and definitely a little gross,
but true.
This unusual phenomenon has been known to occur when the baby starts to cry just as the mommy sits down to dinner.
Dinner may or may not consist of  leftover fried chicken.
The mommy may find that all of her efforts to calm the baby prove fruitless, save holding the baby on her lap,
as mommy tries to scarf down a few bites.
This might lead to a few rogue pieces of chicken falling on mommy’s lap.
Let’s not forget to mention, once again, that baby is also on mommy’s lap.
Baby may or may not be sound asleep, with mouth hanging wide open, purring, gently.
It is possible that later that evening, the mommy will undress the baby in preparation for bath time,
only to find a small crumb of fried chicken coating nestled in the tiny baby bellybutton.
What can I say?
Finger lickin’
Belly stickin’
good.
