Poop, and lots of it

Tuesday, March 13, 2007

Saturday night I was helping Jacob in the bath when I hear Micah yelling, "Ben pooped on the floor and he's walking it all around the carpet!" I had just recently given him a bath and he didn't want his diaper on and I didn't want to fight it, so... I run in there and sure enough, poop everywhere nd it smells horrible. I don't really even know where to begin. Half of it was on this huge mat they have in the playroom, so I put that straight into the washing machine. I then proceed to basically smear the other spots into the carpet even more, along with some Resolve carpet cleaner (which doesn't even work very well.) That doesn't do much but rub it in, so I move on to boiling water and lots of towels. I finally get out my Kirby with the carpet cleaning attachment on it and the belt burns, I start crying and then feel that my silent prayers have been answered when I suddenly remember where the extra belt is, well, that belt burns too! So, now it smells like poop and burning rubber, mmmmmm nice! Ben sees me sitting on the floor crying and comes over and huds me and says, "Sorry Mommy." Ok, so cute to hear a 1 1/2 year old say that. I end up just shampooing the carpet with out the belt on the cleaner, which means that the brush just isn't spinning, not as effective for sure, but what are you gonna do?
