The End of the Day

 Yesterday, we had a bad day.  By the time night time came around we left the house and bought some food and I decided to get some for Josh too... I would be an amazing wife and bring him something to eat at school so he wouldn't starve while working on his project... we get there and asher is just tooting up a storm... he was one gassy boy... I should have been able to read the signs... we finally found josh ( i just knew he was in a lab in the crabtree building) and he didn't want his (now cold) gluten free hamburger :)... but he needed to work for another half hour before he could come home... so the kids and I went out of the lab to wander the halls until Josh was done... and that is when the adventure REALLY began...

Isaac was ecstatic to be crawling around on the floor... he just took off in one direction and went as fast as he could and Asher... well... he began to bounce all over the place... running back and forth... one of the times he  passed me I noticed something a little off and wait.... was that a brown stain on his pants... Seriously! Really!  ugh! he leaked in his pull ups... poop everywhere! (not really everywhere... just a brown smudge) and I hadn't brought extra diapers!  I then tried to hold down my poopy child jumping bean( i held on to his feet as he tried to crawl away) so that he wouldn't get the poop else where... the whole time two male college students were sitting at a table in the hallway eating hamburgers smiling at the ordeal passing just a few yards away... fortunately, Josh came out just at the right time to help... he took Isaac back into the lab to try and work more and I took Asher into the bathroom and cleaned him up... while I was cleaning Asher up he kept grabbing toilet paper and throwing it in the toilet as fast as he could and then he would run to the other side to flush it leaving me with the poopy wipe and unable to stop him... the toilet had a leak... water was everywhere... I was losing my temper which always frustrates me when I have a hard time controlling it... 

I then had to decide whether it was more offensive to allow Asher to run around naked at BYU, run around with poop smeared in his pants, or if he should have wet pants with most of the poop washed out.... I ended up with the wet pants option but tried using the hand dryer first... while I was drying his pants asher ran around bare bottomed.... After this delightful procedure we went back out to wait for Josh... While we were waiting a class got out of session and then proceeded to hold a party in the hall... pancakes and bit sized brownies were being served... and asher ran up and down the hall dodging in and out of people... pushing buttons on the elevator... just insanely wild... sadly, I didn't even try... it wasn't a fight I wanted to fight...

I did overhear the college students talking together though... something about the wild children they probably would have when they grew up!.... they have no idea...

Wanting to know how Josh and Isaac were doing I peeked back in the lab to see how things were going... I could see Josh trying to put things away and then he grabbed Isaac in what looked like desperation... leaving everything else... and came out and said, "I can't even put my things away, because of this crazy kid!"  Isaac also likes to push buttons... especially computer buttons... Finally (I have used these words a lot), we had the boys bundled up and on the way out... and as we were leaving the building I saw a couple... a young girl and boy talking together... I heard  her exclaim, "oh! how cute!' (we each had one kid under arm or hand firmly clasped) and then she went on to say to this young man, "I can't wait until I have my own"... I saw his body jump (only slightly) as if in surprise or shock... which made me wonder if they were dating or just friends... because if they were dating she just basically (in BYU language) asked him to marry her...

In my head, I couldn't help but laugh, if she only knew what she was asking for!!! or more accurately, I reminded myself to laugh when I could because tonight I was just a little too tired!
