Sometimes I think that the powers that be are helping me get things done. Here are some tips of things you can do to increase your motivation to get things done!
Do you need to deep clean your bathroom? Just let your two year old flush it with her magical fingers of mischief, then as you see the toilet begin to over flow, ignore it. Also, make sure you ignore the nagging reminder that you need to fix the little floaty thing that turns the water off when the tank is full, this will allow the water to continue flowing from your tank for a little longer. Keep in mind, this motivation to DEEP clean the bathroom only works if you have a vivid imagination and can envision the little poo particles floating around on your bathroom floor.
Do you need to take a shower? I did, it had been a few days....well all you ahve to do is walk around in the above bathroom in bare feet while you are cleaning it up, note the poo particle thing again. SPECIAL NOTE: Since your towel is the only one that actually gets put back in the bathroom you may want to use a new one....as that is the one your used to stem the flow of potty water and bum funk.
Do you need to mop the ENTIRE HOUSE? Before you get to the shower just make sure you have to chase half-naked children around the house, then, once again, imagine poo particles.
Need to have a relaxing shower? Put the kids in the same room for naps....yes that is them you hear giggling, but who cares, they are happy right! Plus this way your shower won't cut into precious nap time!
Need quality time with a one year old? Jack Johnson on the iPod...see photo. Sweet!
Need to blog? Just stick the "puppy houses," (cardboard boxes with foam flowers) in the livivng room and ignore all noises while you blog. Then when your two year old comes in and puts diaper cream on your face and has lots of "darts(farts)" run her to the potty, to no avail....don't worry, she will hold it until she can poop in her pants. Cari (name has been changed for the sake of the innocent) is going to hate me some day for flinging poopy slander about her all over the internet!

;-) So sorry... I think you are right - our kids were playmates in heaven... or our tutors who were itchin' to get back at us. Mission Successful! ;-)
You could fight the power...and NOT deep clean... but all I can think of is poo particles...poo particles.
oh pam, these are the things no one tells us when they are so excited for us and our first pregnancy. Now we know that they are smiling so wide and brightly because they are laughing their heads off at us inside thinking about all that we have yet to experience.
well, I am glad you got to deep clean, I mean, one excuse or another, but think of the positive, you showered and cleaned, all because of some little inicent poop.
great job
Pam,
I got to your blog through Amy's and I'm so glad I did. You are so funny! I loved reading this...now remember the poo particles!
