The life of a mother

Ok, so we just finished all new carpet throughout the house (to sell it of course!). And the biggest worry in getting new carpet is who is gonna "christen" it first, and how? Mackenzie & Jenna were playing with a new toy the other day & were coloring in their room on the floor, so I made them put paper under what they were doing just to make sure they didn't get marker or anything on the new carpet. Then there's the fear that Camden is gonna spit up or something on it. But, I should have known that no matter how careful you are, something is bound to happen! Well, last night, Mackenzie won the prize. Tom and I woke up to the sound of her getting sick in the bathroom, and you guessed it - she didn't make it to the bathroom the first time! It was all Tom could do to hold back his pure frustration at the fact that this BRAND NEW carpet was soiled already. I, on the other hand, had the pleasure of actually cleaning up the mess. Overall, I guess things could have been worse, but as I went back to bed after the ordeal, I realized this is just another thing in the life of a mother, right?? :)
