Being a mom has a lot of really awesome moments. Like when you hear your child say he loves you for the first time, how they run and leap into your arms and the such.
Sometimes though it's not all fun and games. Like when they share with you their pink eye germs. Yup, that's not so awesome. I could have done without them sharing their butt scratching doo-doo finger germs with me. I know it originated from B and S because they're just getting over their own conjunctivitis. Trying to type out a blog post with one functioning eye kinda sucks. My right eye is pretty much swollen shut right now. Turns out you really do need both eyes for silly things like depth perception. Pouring the kids juice this morning was a real laugh (not really)
On top of all this fun I have a math test tomorrow. So it's off to the drug store for a doo-doo eye walk of shame...
p.s. I was going to add a picture of a pink eye infected eye...but upon googling it I changed my mind. ugh. some things can't be unseen.

troubled waters
http://youtu.be/o7BmJM_9RUM (click on that because I can't figure out how to embed the link, but read the following first)
So that above scene, that I in no way own and apologize for it's horrible quality, pretty much sums up my evening with Seth. Something he ate decided to wage a war in his tiny tummy tonight before bed and he found himself battling a case of "muddy water" as he calls it. And I, as his very lucky mom, had the privilege of sitting with him in the bathroom while a scene very much like the above one, played out. That is just one of the many perks of being a parent. You never know if your kids are going to want mommy or daddy in their times of need. So when I got called into the bathroom tonight to ride out the storm with my ailing four year old, I went. I think such situations are listed in the fine print of rights you waive when you leave the hospital with your bundle of joy. Along with things like ever soundly sleeping again, hot meals for at least the first five years, showers that last longer than fifteen minutes, ect.
One thing to know about Seth is that he NEVER stops talking. He's even been known to talk in his sleep. So while he violently evacuated his lower intestines he kept up a steady stream of conversation like we were sitting on the couch having a normal conversation. And if you know anything about me, I have the maturity level of a twelve year old boy when it comes to bathroom jokes so it takes every fiber of my being not to collapse into a fit of giggles and keep a straight face. My favorite line from Seth was when he looked down at his tummy and exclaimed, "tummy, what's wrong with you!!".
I am glad to report that by the time he drifted off to dream land he seemed fine and hopefully that will be the case through the night. Although I won't hold my breath for that since that whole no sleep thing was in the fine print. Well, I take that back, I will be holding my breath but for a different reason.

random thoughts

| not my actual egg, duh. |
Having a child on the spectrum nobody is ever going to want a part of my genetic code. Even though autism hasn't been linked to be genetic, they'll turn their noses up at my ovaries offerings. They won't care that my son is one of the funniest, smartest, caring, insightful, adorable ( adjective etc) kid on the face of the planet. That they should be honored to have a child that is 1/4 of his awesome. They won't even care that we have son that isn't on the spectrum and he's just as equally amazing as his brother in his own way.
and to that I say..it's their lose. They probably couldn't handle such an amazing kid anyways. It's an honor and a privilege to raise such a child and I thank the universe daily for choosing me to accept the challenge.
I'll leave you with a gem brady shared with me today
"a hungry person never passes up the chance to lick the beaters" -brady, age 7. Autistic and more awesome than your genetically engineered kid.
