I generally won't post twice in a day. In general, I'll probably do good to post once or twice a week...but the idea for this blog has been running around in my head for awhile, so I wanted to get started.
Yeah, today I'm thankful for sinks. Seriously. Have you ever thought about how great a sink is? Well, here's what made me start...
Yesterday I had a little time to kill between 2 services at church. Robbie was at the church studying for his upcoming return to school. On the way to Sonic (many great sentences start with that...don't you agree)...Brooklyn fell asleep. It was shaping up to be a great afternoon! So, we sat at Sonic drinking our sodas. I caught up on my calendar/organizational stuff and had a nice phone conversation with Mom. We drove back to the church and Brooklyn woke up. Wow, perfect timing! I was excited about having relaxed a bit, gotten a bit of stuff done...and I would still be on time for the evening service. Somewhere in the midst of that thought, a smell overwhelmed me. I looked down to find the horror of...well, what smells coming from a baby!
We go to race mode... "run, boys...RUN". To the bathroom we go! It took a semi-prepared Mom, 2 very cooperative boys, an extra 15 minutes, a lot of soap, and not one...but 2 sinks to clean up the mess!! I say "semi-prepared" mom because I did have a change of clothes, a fresh diaper, and wipes in the bag. I did not, however, have the Hazmat suit that should be required to clean up such a mess. I also did not have the Hazardous waste disposal container which should be required to bring home the clothing (fortunately, the ladies from her class found me a plastic bag). But, ahhh...the sink. I cannot imagine what I would have done if I couldn't find a sink. And now, the offensive clothing is soaking in the sink (yeah for sinks)! After several rinses and tons of soap...she might just wear that outfit again some day. Come to think of it...I'm thankful for sinks...and soap....and disposable diapers...and....plastic bags...and the imminent arrival of potty training!
