My first night solo...

lalicopaI expected to get the kids quiet by 8-ish, then take a nice long bath and watch a movie. Ha. Yes, you heard it here. Ha.
Cutting for TMI in the child-excrement category:
We had a normal day, then Lily took a late nap. I was outside with Laszlo planting mums and playing with his bubble mower and letting him play with the hose. Lily was still asleep at 7, so I woke her up, already realizing she won't go to sleep before 10 now.
Laszlo was filthy from playing outside, so I fed the kids dinner (Trader Joe's popcorn shrimp, YUM) and then stuck them in the bath. About 10 minutes into the bath, Lily was standing up and turning red, so I realized she was pooping. I saw the poop stuck in her tush, which is the norm for my poor girl. I swiped her out of the bath and put her on the towel on my bed...then the shit flew out of her butt onto the floor. Wonderful. So I picked it up, assuming she was done because it was big, and stuck her back in the bath. Two minutes later, she's red again. I said, "Lily, are you making another doodie?" She looks at me and says, "No." Yeah, I am stupid to believe a not-even-18-month old. I checked a second later and there was another big rock of poo in the tub. I grabbed both kids out and dried them off, left them naked while I was cleaning out the tub. I smelled poo while I was cleaning, and there was no reason I should have, so I looked near Lily on the floor and sure enough, poo number three. She has problems in the poop department, so I know that she only goes about twice a week, but this was just a mammoth amount of shit to be coming out of my lil girl.
Anyway...
As I was cleaning up poop number three, Laszlo started coughing. He had that coughing-sounds-like-gagging thing happening. So I went to him and held him and he vomited all over the bathroom floor. Added for interest, he had mostly ketchup and very little shrimp for dinner so the vomit was all red and for a second I thought it was blood and really got scared.
Did I mention that last night Laszlo peed all over Robert? They were cuddling on the couch and Laszlo was getting dressed for the night so having some naked time and he peed all over Daddy.
In my washing machine at present is a pee-soaked shirt, some shit-stained towels and washcloths, and a towel covered in vomit.
I've mentioned the abscess in my gum, right? I've got this thing growing in my mouth that I thought would go away with some antibiotics that I called my GP to give me on Saturday, but it's not getting any better and it really hurts and I don't have a dentist. But, I have dental insurance, which is a good thing. So I have to wait until tomorrow to find a local dentist who takes my insurance and can see me ASAP. I've never had any oral surgery before and I have a feeling this will be the first time.
Seriously now, someone's laughing up there at my expense. Shit, *I'm* laughing at my expense.
