Mother of the Year right here...

Bad parenting moment #154:
When your child pukes, and you just spray them with Febreeze and go on with your day.

I know, right! I mean, i guess what happened isn't quite as bad as i make it sound. Well, maybe it is. I don't know. I do know that i wont be up for Mother of the Year anytime soon, ha!

We were out and about today, on our weekly thursday errands.
We recycle, we go to lunch, we go grocery shopping, we go to the bank, we go to the post office, then we go to daycare/work.
Typical day, i was lead to believe.
Well, we were at lunch at Burger King, the same place we go every thursday.
We are such regulars that they know us by name and we don't even have to order, they know what we're getting! (this, by the way, is bad parenting moment #113...letting your kids eat fast food every thursday for lunch).
Anyway, Mady ate her usual 4 chicken nuggets, and she decided that she was still hungry (this happens every now and then). So i went up to get her 4 more nuggets.
Well, i guess while i was away, Em decided to throw up some of the half of hamburger she had jammed in her mouth.
I never noticed, Mady never told me, so we went about our usual routine.
We get to WalMart, and we made it all the way around to the diaper section, and i started smelling something a bit funny.
I just ignored it, thinking it was something else, and went about shopping.
Well, we get to the deli counter, and i am still smelling it.
So while the lady is slicing our cheese, i happen to look down at Em and see that she has something on her shirt. Nothing big, just a small spot.
Well, i got out a wipe to wipe it off, and i noticed another spot on her sleeve, and one on her pants. That's 3 spots that i some how managed to miss this whole time.
After cleaning her up, she still smelled pretty funky.
You would think she was covered in puke or something by the way she smelled, not just 3 tiny spots.
So here is where the Mommy of the Year part comes in.
We make our way over to the air freshener isle, and i find the febreeze.
I proceed to spray her with said febreeze (by the way, it's the new Kiwi one and it smells really good).
I put the bottle in the cart, since i liked the smell so much, and we went about our shopping like nothing happened.
She didn't smell gross anymore, and the spots were cleaned up! (See how i'm trying to rationalize that this isn't as bad as it seems?!)
Don't judge me people!
