When the Mom's Away . . .

Chaos comes out to play. While getting ready to change the baby, my son fell down the bottom two steps and hurt his knee. While setting him down on the couch to recover, the baby crawled off the step-down to the living room and bumped her head. While calming the baby down and changing her diaper, my toddler went number two in her underpants. Once I cleaned up and got all the kids back together to put them in their pajamas, they all started crying. To rub it in even further they whimpered the words no father enjoys hearing, "I want Mommy." I understood. By that point I wanted my mommy too. On the bright side, we did have a lot of fun horsing around before all of the chaos ensued.
