Maxi pads: not just for periods anymore!

I've just been informed that no one should enter the downstairs bathroom lest they die of a deadly stink bomb. Fabulous.

Between that and the maxi pads that were used as toilet paper yesterday (no one has admitted to this crime, but I have my suspicions) and the clogs that resulted from said incident, I have been spending way too much time defumigating our bathrooms.

Fishing poopy maxi pads from my toilet: yet another situation I never pictured when I said "Let's have a baby! And another! And ANOTHER!"

oh my gosh, I saw your post title and had to check out your story...that is really funny! I hope your toilets are okay!!
Thanks for the laugh!

Deee-sgusting! But funny. I'm sure it doesn't feel (or smell) at all funny to you. These are the stories you will tell when your kids are all grown up with families of their own. You'll find these stories hysterical then.... Hope you got things cleaned up.

PS, maxi pads also make excellent large bandages if you need one and don't have one. My brother learned that when he was younger!

Definitely yuck, and pretty hilarious at the same time. I have a feeling that it would be unwise to make a full list of all the things you never expected (to do or say) when saying yes to a baby.

When I am having a bad day and cleaning up the 23rd milk spill and wiping ink stains from the couch, I can refer back to this. At least my kids never wiped with my maxi pads and flushed them down the toilet. I guess that is something.

Hahahaha! Gross!

you know, Kate, when she first discovered pads, called them Nice Butt's. Because I think she walked in on me...

The next day she told me she had to go potty and I told her to go (She was just potty trained) so she went in the bathroom and next thing I hear is her saying "owie! owie!" I went in and she had a pantyliner sticky side to her! Silly girl hasn't touched them since.

Okay, my story isn't as gross as yours, haha. But I thought it was funny and worth sharing. :-)

Good Luck with the gross bathrooms!

I have a friend whose two year old flushed many tampons down the potty once- only they lived in a development where if the septic system was in trouble, it set of a loud alarm. She enjoyed explaining the whole thing to the security guy who showed up.

Kids take you in all sorts of unexpected directions- most good, some not so much.

Ewwwwwwww! Poopy maxi-pads! Yuck. That's birth control, my friend.

Considering the shit (pun intended) kids get into and make you go through, it's a wonder the human race didn't die out thousands of years ago.

Ah, motherhood. It's really not for wimps. Not everyone can handle it as gracefully as we can, right T? ;-)

Tracey - I've been missing your posts lately, thinking that maybe you weren't blogging anymore. And then I looked at my reader, and you'd disappeared entirely! Well, I'm glad I remedied that problem, because this post didn't disappoint.

Totally ew, but hilarious!

That is just too funny! Wow. I am not looking forward to those things, though I'm sure they will be happening soon enough with two little boys.
And thanks for visiting my blog!
