This post is so TMI. Don't eat before reading. You've been warned.

After this weekend, I realized I've been lucky in the GI department. Very lucky. I have heard people use the term "explosive" when it comes to GI distress but have never experienced it myself. Nate's minor GI distress turned into major explosive GI distress on Friday. He didn't quite make it to the toilet a couple of times, leading to one of the most disastrous events of my parenting life.

Only an amazing writer could do full justice to the story. Not being an amazing writer, it's easier for me to draw a picture of what happened than to explain it to you.




I totally earned a free pass on Mother's Day this year.

My goodness what a picture...I have to agree with Joanna, while the situation is not funny that picture made me crack up.

Julia said...

LOL! I have been quite lucky too all my life except pregnancy. I learned the meaning of explosive in the post-partum week. And it was good.

Oh, boy! You definitely deserve the beach vacation after that!

We had that in the winter when both girls had a recurring stomach bug. I can't even count how many times I changed and washed sheets and blankets that month.

Hang in there. Hope he's feeling better soon.

I am so sorry for both you and Nate, but that picture is hilarious - I'm having a hard time not laughing out loud, and I don't want to explain it to my co-workers.

Hope he's feeling better!!!

Julie said...

Oh yuck. Double yuck. Poor little dude, I hope he is better soon and the rest of you avoid the crud.

Your pic is both hilarious, sad (poor Nate) and disgusting.
