Diaper Duty

Thanks Norah!

Being a Mom and a full-time nursing student has been more difficult than I could have imagined. But, it does have it's advantages:

1. I already know how to function on less than four hours of sleep a night. Whether it's Norah crying about a lost binky, Veeve needing a few calming words after her regularly occurring nightmare (usually about sharks and/or bees) or a midnight Microbiology cram session....regardless, I'm all set.

2. I am unusually comfortable talking about bodily functions. With three kids in the house, my day is never lacking in talk of poop, jokes about poop or helping Norah potty train. It's not uncommon to get into a conversation with any of my kids regarding all manner of bodily fluid evacuation. Awesome. Makes asking strangers if they need to "go potty," that much less of a chore. I say it about fifty times a day anyway.

3. AND...I can take a sample of my daughters stool to school and make a streak plate for my Microbiology lab. A+++
