Ballad of a poo collector

For the love of Odin, how can something so small make so much crap?!

The boy's had a stomach bug of some sort, even though it hasn't affected his mood or appetite. What it has done is give me a seemingly endless dirty nappy job to do. I might only get one full nappy of crap in a day or maybe two half-ish ones but so far I've had about three over-flowing cauldrons of the most vile examples of human excrement :(

I know it tends to be Dad's job but when you're a single parent it's ALWAYS bloody dad's job. Normally I just have to monitor my breathing (something that sends the boy into giggles) and I can change the nappy without too much hassle but these ones, jeez, I've found myself wondering if I was going to be sick? And as usual, it's not a nappy change unless my finger accidentally touches it or his finger touches it whilst I have his legs in one hand and a baby wipe army in the other. If he touches it it's pretty much all over as I have to fight him with the baby wipe to stop him putting it into his mouth.

These nappies, when I do finish gettin' them off him, are like bloody shot-putts!

  1. I admire you tremendously. I was a single mom for three years until my current husband showed up. Your blogs make me smile and remind me of the time back when my little one was at that age. I think that's why I am so drawn to your blog. Bah, smelly poo does suck. How does it get so green?

  2. lol thank you although even thought she and I have our differences, I do honestly think his mother does a better job than me since she has two other kids of varying ages to keep track of as well.

    And this is all new to me :D but hell, it's fun and I wouldn't trade it for anything
