Josh helped out a ton this morning...but all good things must come to an end. He had to go to work. So I was left with the child just like any ordinary day, right? Wrong. While changing the diaper I get a work phone call and take it. I get so side tracked in the conversation I button his jumper right up without ever putting a diaper back on him. I didn't realize this until I thought I had yellow sweat running down the front of my shirt.
Later this evening we decided to go for a walk. When I walked out the door I realized I had left the car running from when we went to the store, which we had gotten back from 45 minutes ago. I really felt like I was losing it then. On the walk I hear Maddox make a funny little squeak so I walk to the front of the stroller and he is putting his hand into his mouth. No biggie. Oh except for the fact that his hand had a lady bug on it. I grabbed his hand but it scared the lady bug and it flew further into his mouth. I wrestled Maddox for 2 minutes while he screamed at me, until I realized it was too late. The lady bug was gone. He had swallowed it. By this point I was done with the day. I had been peed on, wasted a quarter tank of gas, and my 3 month old just swallowed a lady bug.
We get home and after I feed Maddox I was bouncing him in this bouncy chair. Then all of the sudden....SPIT UP! And in that spit up.....was a red ladybug. I just stared for a minute, then started cracking up laughing. I couldn't stop. It was a long afternoon and this just put me over the edge. I laughed for 2 minutes while Maddox stared at me like I was a nut case. Then he started laughing too. Apparently when mom cracks up it's funny.
Hopefully i'm not totally losing it and this is just a "mommy phase".
