It was the end of a long day. Hubby had just arrived home from a late night at work and the night time routine was taking longer than usual. The two older girls were buzzing about while the baby demanded a diaper change. I was so dazed with fatigue that my eyes stared off into space while my hands blindly wiped, medicated and wrapped the baby's bottom with a fresh diaper.
Vaguely, I heard a voice nearby chanting, "Squishy! Squishy! Squishy!" while jumping up and down repeatedly. Suddenly, "Splat!"
I jerked my head to see my tube of Desitin oozing white puke over my green carpet. My shoulders sagged as my eyes raised up to meet the surprised gaze of my 3 year old.
"Oh, Mommy!" she giggled, "The Desitin tooted!"
I was boiling with frustration until she made that proclamation and then...I burst out laughing and let my husband clean it up!
Life is a journey, but it sure does get squishy sometimes.
