Funny story!

Ok, so I was going to blog about this yesterday, but, I didn't want to take away from Sophia's debut. I left San Angelo yesterday to drive back home. Tyler didn't go with me because he had too much to do at work this week. I usually have no problem making the 4 1/2 drive without having to pee, especially when Tyler isn't with me. Well, I guess I had too much to drink before I left town yesterday. I had made it to Coleman and thought, I can make it 3 more hours~ YEAH right. I made the mistake of holding it to Cross Plains. By the time I got to the convenient store, my eye balls were floating! So, I grabbed Reese out of the carseat. We had to buy her a new carseat last week because her feet and head were about hanging over and she was looking a little white trash in her too small carseat (the point of that tidbit was that I didn't have the seat where I could carry her in it). So I get to the bathroom and there's no on in there. I manage to sit down. Reese is on my lap. I am not about to sit her on the floor and pick up (GAG) every germ in there. She decided that it would be a good time to start choking me so that she could get my necklace in her mouth (her new favorite game), so I turned her to the side so she couldn't get my necklace. Well then she starts bouncing up and down because she loves to ride the horsey! OK, seriously! How am I going to explain if I get pee all over the seat.....because she is being a bucking bronco! I was telling her to stop and she was cracking up and bouncing higher. SOMEBODY HELP ME! Then the little thought of, man I wish she was wearing overalls then I could hang her on the hook on the back of the door. (Just kidding). So I am done, but now I have to pull up my pants and button them- impossible with one hand. I manage to stand her up and then squeeze her with my legs so she doesn't fall on that dirty floor. I got the job done!
Note to self- Don't travel without the hubby! I never knew that going to the bathroom could be so hard!

Just stop by our house the next time you pass through Coleman and need to tt...I would gladly hold Reese for you:) And I'm pretty sure our bathroom floor has less germs than the convenient store's floor...At least I hope so!!

I have yet to try going to a public restroom while holding Addi...I'm sure my day will come soon! (And I'm sure Addi will try chew on the toilet seat or something gross like that!!)
