I am having what you might call 'one of those days.' Everytime I think it can't get any worse it just does.
I went out this morning to check my horse, and he had pulled a show off. So I rang the farrier and he said he would be there this afternoon. Just as he pulled up my baby informed me she had pooed - really pooed! I tried to extract her from her clothes, but she was squirming so much I got covered in poo, she got covered in poo, the floor got covered in poo. I pulled her clothes off, ran upstairs and held her in the bath under the shower attachment and hosed her down. Finally, clean and dressed I got outside with her in the pram, and held the horses for the farrier.
On returning to the house the stench which hit me reminded me we had underfloor heating which makes all smelly things on the floor smell worse. I put baby on the sofa, picked up all the items of pooey clothing and ran with them to the kitchen sink. I left baby on the sofa as the kitchen sink is only feet away, and her playmat was on the floor looking like some sort of poo-fest had happened on it. I had had my back to her for seconds, and she catapulted herself head first onto the floor I am mortified about this. She had about 20 seconds of really good quality full on screaming and then had a little breastfeed. After that she wanted to play, and now, 20 minutes later, is laid on the floor playing still. She has a red mark on her forehead, but I didn't see how she fell, so don't know how she hit the floor. I have tried to ring OH but his answerphone is on, and I don't really know whether I would be overreacting to take her to A&E. She is playing and smiling at the moment, and trying to chomp on a teether.
I had filled the kettle and put it on when I got in from the horses, and by know thought I really need a cup of tea. I went into the kitchen only to find that the cut-out on the kettle had broken, it had boiled dry and then gone caput. I have been saying to OH for a while that we could do with a new kettle, but he prefers to wait for things to break completely than to buy things when they look like they are on their last legs.
So my horse has cost me money, my house is covered in s**t, my baby has bumped her head, and I can't even have a cup of tea after all that
