Poop, Ports, and Playsets

Tuesday's "Things I Learned Today" List:

1. When faced with the task of checking an infant's temperature, ahem, old school style, beware: said infant will poop on you. Once you recover from the first occurrence, a second will follow. You will shriek and the infant will become startled and tee tee on you. You will eventually give up, laugh uncontrollably, and provide a healthy dose of Tylenol, just in case.


2. Chemotherapy ports can apparently become infected. When they do, you will spend 6 hours attempting to rectify the problem and leave the Cancer Answer defeated because you were unable to keep truckin' on the treatment train. You will require Mellow Mushroom STAT in order to boost your spirits.


3. Hubs is allergic to Vancomycin. When given through an infected port, he will shake uncontrollably and have to be treated for an allergic reaction.


4. Beignets are absolutely scrumptious.


5. The art of writing letters is completely lost.


6. Chomping on ice 24/7 can shake your fillings loose.


7. Maternity leave should last forever. Sadly, it does not.


8. Realizing that maternity leave does not last forever will inevitably create a clothes crisis of epic proportions.


9. Target is exclusively selling the Sesame Street Playhouse Playset Circa 1984. Realizing this while trying to purchase boring household items on your shopping list will create treasured memories from your childhood and you will lose 20 minutes on the toy aisle in complete bliss and oblivion to everything around you.


10. Tucking your sweet little baby into bed and kissing him night-night can somehow magically make everything all better.

  1. I always wanted the Sesame Street Playhouse!!! Why didn't we have one!?

    We're thinking about coming down this weekend for the cookout thing... going to be some crazy driving though to make that happen.
