There have been days where I place the cereal box in the refrigerator. There have been moments where I search for my phone to find it nestled in my hand. But, there has never been an instance in which I washed a diaper...until now. I'm not speaking of a cloth diaper. I'm not talking about using a wipe. I, plopped a disposable diaper, into my washer (which was full of clothing) and washed it! Before my sanity lies in question, let me fill you in on the events that transpired before this incident occurred.
Oscar Party. Eva successfully peed (in an arc formation) while I was changing her on the floor at a friend's house. While wrestling the little pee-baby in my evening gown, Brandon fetched me a bag to place the wet clothing in. While his help was perfectly timed (until later events transpired), I did NOT know that he also placed the wet diaper in this bag. Brandon leaves on business trip and I don't have to do laundry until he arrives a week later. This brings you up to the present day. This morning actually, I open the pee-bag and dump all of the contents into the washer. Alas, as I open the washer lid I see a sparkly sea of gel. Yes, the inside of a disposable diaper is made up of gel beads. Thousands of them! Thousands of them all over my washer and all over my clean clothes. Ugh. I call Brandon to see if his memory serves him well. We both laugh a bit after reminiscing the pee-incident and I shake the laundry with all I got and run the washer until it's clear of Pampers. Hallelujah! It worked!
Another incident. Before my baby girl is taking the floor into her own hands and crawling, I'm taking advantage of the freedom this allows me to have. Mama (me) goes upstairs to put on makeup. Baby (Eva) sits in the corner and plays with her toys...or so I thought. After applying my face (and smiling at the mere fact that I have time to do this again), I bounce down the stairs to see the Holy Bible, my Bible, being sampled by the baby! Two hands and one giant bite later, the concordance was ripped and Revelations was being snacked on. "Eva, when Jesus said that, man shall not live by bread alone, this is not what He meant!"
And so, there you have it. Just a glimpse into my, "I thought I had it all together" moments.

If it's any consolation, you making 'losing it' look good.
I'm certianly not afraid to lose it if I do it with as
much grace and charm as you! My inspiration!
I'm remembering a hilarious commercial where the dad changes the baby boy in a bedroom at a party, and the baby pees like a hose gone wild...can I just tell you the first time I saw that I freaked! I have a fear that will happen to me!!!
Ps-my husband put a pint of ice cream back into the fridge. He's losing it more than me...
