TOO MUCH OF SOMETHING GOOD=PROBLEMS

I have heard myself tell the kids many times, don't eat too much or drink so much you are going to get sick. Well, this weekend my words actually rang true for them....maybe they will learn. First I decided to splurge and make a fruit salad this weekend, I think we were all sick of apples and oranges. Needless to say the kids loved it, so did I, so we ate a TON of fruit. In the back of my head I had a little voice telling me to stop Andrea, seeing as she is barely potty trained and I didn't want to set myself up for another accident. I decided to ignore that voice and let the kids enjoy. Well, we decided to take the kids to a pool for a quick swim laterthat evening. The kids had a blast, I watched from the sidelines wondering why I just didn't stay home. But then I was reminded why mommy is around. Brayden all of a sudden was out of the pool with a horrible look on his face-"I HAVE TO GO POOPY'S"-which you know just echo's in the pool. Now it is me running my five year old to the potty (and I was worried about my two year old) all the while he was yelling "I CAN'T HOLD IT" and he was right-WHAT A MESS, I would rather deal with a diaper than a wet swimsuit accident. It was then I realized why I was along-to clean up the mess (sorry to the other family in the bathroom).
Then tonight we had a little party with the kids. Ron took them to pick up some food and they all picked out candy. I decided not to be the monitor tonight and it was a free for all, including a crazy round of twister....completed with ice-cream for bed time snack. Once again, I ignored that motherly voice to limit the sugar but....guess who vomited in her bed. Andrea, who I think ate a whole package of sweetish fish unloaded her stomach just after I had gotten her all tucked in. Funny thing was instead of crying and being upset the silly girl sat and just giggled when I washed her down-I think she was delirious.
That was definitely enough messes for me, I though I had left my mess cleaning days behind when I left the hospital. So much for ignoring that little motherly voice. Back to moderation and healthy living!
