typical day

so today was... interesting. steve left for school. danny baby was eating. 5 mins later, he was screaming. we spent some quality time burping, tooting, and rocking. an hour or so later, he fell asleep. i hurried and stuffed some waaaaay overdue laundry into the washer, started the load, then sneezed, peed my pants, ripped them off and threw them into the washer. oops, i woke up the baby. hurried and put pants on, picked him up, he screamed for another hour. we tried a nice warm bath (one of his favorite things). he stopped crying for ten minutes in the tub (with me, by the way). i dried him off, dressed him in some snuggly clothes (while naked from the waist down), and continued trying to soothe him. tried feeding -- no cigar. tried burping -- no cigar. tried everything -- no cigar. changed diaper. he peed on me. suddenly he stopped crying for about 15 seconds when what happened?? dad walked in the door to see a happy baby, an ugly pee-covered mommy, and the house in complete disarray. "so, honey, what have you been up to?"...
