Monday, Monday

The weather has now turned.....................the triple digits we were feeling have now dropped by 20 degrees...
The kids still wore their shorts and shirts to school (which I would think they are going to wear until they absolutely have to stop).
Monday, was nice, Grandma came over to stay with Squiggly and J while I went to pick the kids up, came home, kids did homework, Mom Jr. went to dance, Daddy and D finished their science project for school. The a/c was off finally!!!
Tuesday comes along, there's a breeze early in the morning when Daddy is getting up for work....
As the kids get up for school they notice the breeze but still insist on wearing shorts and shirts.
I get them off to school and J and I hit the stores for veggies, fruits, school items, and groceries for the rest of the week. We even stopped and picked up new movies for them to watch...
We got home in time for J to clean up his toys as I put stuff away and cleaned up as well...
I made J lunch and continued cleaning up. Soon I turned to notice J was curled up in a ball asleep. I figured "okay, I'll let him take a nap for now before we have to go pick up the kids from school. I continued on with my endless laundry.
Time came for us to go and J was still asleep. I turned everything off and picked him up and put him in the car with a blanket covering him as it was very windy.....
We get to the school and J is now awake. He jumps out of his seat and tells me he has to pee. We park across a big grass field and by the way he was acting I knew for a fact he wouldn't make it to the school bathrooms AND to make it even worse he had no shoes on!! (now, there is no way I am going to let any of my children walk into a school or any public restroom without shoes on their feet!!).
Quickly my mind starts running, flashbacks of movies pop in my head of kids peeing in take out cups, water bottles......um, no I don't have any of those items in my vehicle..............

Then I remembered an episode of "Oprah"....one about Mom's and the things they do............one Mom was driving a long distance with her kids who talked most of the way and when they finally fell asleep and the drive was finally quiet she ended up having to pee really bad. She had a choice, either pull over into a gas station, wake the kids up so that she could pee.................or.............grab a diaper that she had for one of her kids and use it for herself, therefore not disturbing the peace by waking up her kids and being able to continue her drive in silence.
So she did just that, she used the diaper on herself...kids slept, she relieved herself, the trip ended on a good note......................

I start looking around in my vehicle for a diaper knowing I probably have one for an emergency such as this (although I thought the emergency would've been for Squiggly).
Oh! I found one..........I jump out of the front seat, open the door to the back J is standing there, I grab the diaper and open it. "Let's pull your pants down but hold it until I tell you" "Kay Mama but I have to pee!!". I quickly open the diaper, "okay" J proceeds to pee....................

Okay, woman who used a diaper to relieve herself...........either your kids wear Depends or you just have a completely weak bladder because my 3 year old son filled the diaper to the point where it even overflowed down his legs and onto his underwear and shorts!!!

Luckily I brought the blanket to cover him with since he was asleep when we left. When he was done I cleaned up the mess, wrapped him up in the blanket which he now looked like a sumo wrestler sitting in his seat waiting for his brothers and sister.
I was just hoping the kids would remember what I told them if they didn't see me waiting by their classrooms.
Thank God, they did. They came walking over to the car..........

Just a Mom never knowing there was actually something she hadn't experienced before.........
