I need to vent my frustrations and Joshua is at work - my saga could get yucky, so as I said, read at your own risk! Our day began bright and hopeful- Joshua wasn't supposed to leave for work until 9:30am, thanks to a carpool issue. We decided that it would be fun to go out to breakfast for Valentine's, instead of dinner. Luckily we were running a little behind schedule because right as we were literally buckling the boys into their carseats Josh's ride called and said he was 2 minutes away - an hour early! Thankfully we weren't sitting at U.S. Egg enjoying a beautiful blueberry pancake with fresh squeezed apple juice as we had planned.The saga continues, German's hopes were up to go to a restaurant and I felt bad letting him down, especially since we were already in the car and everything. Due to some recent bowel issues I didn't want to take him to fast food, so there we were sitting at the breakfast restaurant and the bowel issues that we thought were finished came back in full force. Let me give all of you mother's some advice: There is absolutely no reason to go to a restaurant by yourself with more than one child. You'll end up spending a lot of money for a meal that you don't get to eat and you can't even enjoy a little time with your children. Just stay home!!!
After our second diaper change there, I figured there would probably be more to come and I was out of diapers, so we went home and grabbed some back-up. You'd think that I'd learned my lesson and would just stay home, but no, I wanted to take the boys to their Valentine's Day party! After two diaper changes there, German said, "I take nap, go home and take nap." So we did! (But not before another diaper change!) Now I'm about to end and go change yet another diaper before we head out to make our 2:40p.m. doctor's appointment. Oh, and by the way, Eli also had a massive blowout somewhere in the middle of all that!
The good news: German had one bowel movement on the toilet last night! (It was about to come out in the bathtub, so I pulled him out of the tub and sat him on the seat - maybe it'll be exciting for him once he's feelint better!)

Wow! Somehow I missed that story while we were at the party! Poor German didn't look like he felt very good though. Hope your day improves.

you are definitely one brave woman! I still have not gone anywhere by myself with the two kids...pretty sad, huh. But to go to an actual sit down restaurant, now that is brave! I hope for everyone's sake that German continues to feel better. Will had the stomach flu awhile back (which included lovely bowel issues as well), so I know how not fun it can all be! Take care, Julie, and I hope things continue to go better for you all!
