TheBanyanTree: Window shopping for bike gear ='s stress relief.

[Teague, Julie Anna]

I am cringing reading this. I'm not sure I could do it. I could barely deal with baby diarrhea. There was once that was so bad I fleetingly wondered if I could just give the poop-covered toddler away and get a new one. So sorry, dear. But as usual, you handled it with aplomb and humor.

Good Lord Almighty, what a gross mess. Bless her stupid heart for eating the dang fermented grass clumps yesterday. Every mowing season we battle this with the dogs. They consider them a delightful delicacy for some insane reason. 😡☹️🙄😢

You know, the BRAND NEW carpet that she so helpfully test barfed on two days ago. 🙄  Why is it always the new stuff that you naively hope can remain clean for oh, say, at least 6 freakin' months??????

Plus, Rambi would not stop walking thru the mess, because God forbid, he be kept from his food for any length of time. I could have gladly drop kicked him off the front deck. Aaaaaaaaagggggg!!!!!!! But, I gently picked him up (the heavy tubbo - because Jim kept over feeding the cats for several months 😩🤐) and shut him in our bedroom.

> Annnnnnnnd when I went to get the steam cleaner out of the closet, <sigh> I discovered that Jim had accidentally forgotten to empty the dirty water from it. You know, from a year ago? Can you spell R A N K? At that point I needed and wanted to scream. You know, one of those soul cleansing primal screams that lets at least some of the tension abate. But......1) Willow would have had yet another accident out of sheer terror and 2) The neighbor's down the road would have called the sheriff. And, although Haywood County deputies are super nice and very chivalrous, somehow I don't think they would have been willing to step into my personal poop hell to assist me. 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩😷🤐😱😱😱😱😱😱
