Ooops! Ha! Ha!

Ya, Ooops! I see that word often on emails that I send out to people when I forgot to send the attachment or this or that. I am really a woman of many "ooops'!". I think it would be fabulous for me to have it all together and figured out one day...
But until then, I have to share this story that every time I think about it, I chuckle. And the more I think about it, the more funny it becomes. Cami kept looking at me tonight when the kids were in bed and it was just the two of us again, as I kept laughing out loud about it.
Okay, now the story. Today, at church, Cami wore the cutest camouflage dress bought for her by her own Daddy. And it has matching bloomers with frilly camo across the bum. (So fun!)
It isn't really easy for me to get 4 kids and me to church on time, and I get a little frantic in those last moments before we leave (Ya! I hate that! We've got to come up with a solution to that.)
Anyway, Cami had pooped in her diaper right when we were ready to walk out the door. So I pulled off those cute bloomers and changed her diaper. I was bummed once we were sitting in sacrament meeting and I noticed that she was just wearing her diaper, no bloomers underneath. I had forgotten to put the cute matching bloomers on! Bummer! (No pun intended.)
Later, I was hurrying to get some copies made in the library with Cami on my hip. Someone came in and he picked up a diaper that had been on the floor in the doorway, and he said, "Lost and Found?"
I was too busy focusing on my job of copies and just answered that the garbage was right there, indicating with my finger.
Once I had my copies, I began to leave the library and walk out into the hallway where there were people bustling about. I had just turned to check something in the library when I noticed some skin showing where it shouldn't be on Cami (Her dress had ridden up a little as I was walking) OOOPS!! I hurried to pull her dress down to cover her. I was too embarrassed at the moment to realized how funny it was. No one in the hallway had noticed. I rushed her into the Mother's Lounge to put a diaper on, and that was when I started laughing. Cami smiled with me. What a funny story that she will love to read someday! (I'm just glad I noticed it before anything else happened!)

  1. oooohhh..... that could have been a bit messy :) Funny story- I gotta say, out of all my 4 kids, I've never lost a diaper (knock on wood!)... except for the ones that August removed on his own....
