Having a crap day.

[captainzep]

Literally.

Zep child #2 running a temp. Nursery won't have 'im.

Mrs Zep has to go to work to find out whether she's a confirmed redundancy so I'm stuck at home.

Incident 1

Bad smell starts wafting up from 1yr old son. Nothing unusual there. Take him upstairs to scrape poo off his gonads and install new nappy. But he's done his special trick of pooing round a corner, out the side of the nappy and into the trouser leg. Never mind. Change of breeks and we're sorted. Leave st-caked trousers for Mrs Zep later.

Anyway, back downstairs, suddenly realise that the little fecker also dropped some splodge out of his trouser leg as I was taking him upstairs. How do I know? Because there's a small brown pile of it with a man sized footprint (my footprint) through the middle. And a consequent trail of brown footprints going up the stair carpet.

Incident 2

After some floor scrubbing, time for a shower. Leave little Zep to toddle around happily. But things go quiet. Too quiet. Investigating, I see the little fecker has delved into the nappy bin. Fished out the last nappy and opened it up like a bag of chips. Brown chips. Oh my God.

Incident 3

Back on track. Showered, dressed, sorted. Bring down a basket of dirty washing. Doorbell. Its the postman with a parcel. He always looks vaguely disgusted when I open the door. Often with good reason. -My dressing gown is a bit short and has seen better days. Anyway, exchange pleasantries -he seems quite cheerful this morning, until he pauses and stares at my son who has toddled up. Wearing a pair of his Mum's pre-worn knickers as a balaclava.

I think I'm going to have a can of lager for elevenses.

My day just got so much better reading that.

Go for it, mate. It won't make the day any better. But at least you won't care as much...

I'd go for a bottle of wine!! A tinny just won't be enough!!!!

Mrs Zep should've taken them to work.

Or maybe not.

were you hoping he only knocked once?

[Cheeky Jim]

God, thats funny!!

As a fellow parent, I can sympathise with the situation. I have similar to this most Saturday mornings, when the Mrs is working (we have 3 of the little lovelies!)!

Well, you've cheered me up anyway!!

Very apt thread title

No threat. Camper than Timothy Claypole. But not in a fun Rentaghost way.

Intervened in the nick of time. He had a slack handful though.

[JRM]

That's why I'm more than happy to leave the wife at home with the kids and go to work!

Good luck for the rest of the day - I bet you can't wait for the afternoon nap!!

Great post, thanks for cheering me up

I'm having a great day, working in my office/loft whilst listening to the OH shout at the dog for p1ssing on the floor downstairs. Told her to take him out earlier on
