PUMPKIN PICKIN’ & PORTA-POTTIES!

So as Halloween hits us, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I realized this weekend there are definitely things to be thankful for.  One of them is potty problems… OR, the fact that I don’t have to face them anymore.

As I was walking past the porta-potties at the pumpkin patch on Sunday – I heard a Mom’s voice emanate from within… “Don’t touch ANYTHING!” and it made me laugh.  I could here the thumps and bumps from that confined plastic private prison, and realized I don’t have to worry about that anymore.  My kids know where to go, and know to wash their hands (i think!)  So I got to enjoy that sense of satisfaction as I headed into the hay maze.  Which was the original reason I was taking this picture (see above).  Yup!  No dirty, gross, grabby-hand bathroom challenges for me!

Sadly, life just keeps adding more problems.  For instance, we were up till almost 11 last night dealing with homework.  So i guess the challenges keep changing.  Raising kids means moving the goal posts… over… and over… … and over… and over…

This Halloween I’m scared for what comes next…
