I got pooped on.

Remember when we were going to California? Remember how happy, impatient, and excited we all were?

But all good things must come to end. That time is now. Sadly, we are leaving California to head back home.  It's been a fun trip, for the most part. But, there were some bad moments in there.  I mean really bad.

I'll share them first, then end with the good stuff.

1. Jack had/still has some sort of stomach bug.  He threw up two nights. First, all over his sleeping bag, pillow, and the bed. The other night he managed to get it into the sink, toilet, and trash can. All of these are different puking experiences. But let's not forget when he threw up all his watermelon breakfast back into his watermelon bowl, that I was holding for him.Yep, me. I caught his puke. 

2. Along with his puking, came poop. Well, he said, "I'm not pooping mom, I'm peeing out of my butt hole." And sure enough he was.  Poor dude was jacked up. I can't tell you how many times we had to hand wash his underwear, but that's not even the grossest part.  Here it goes.  I'm warning you, stop reading if you can't handle gross. I mean super gross.

On our way home, Jack said,  "You need to pull over now." We knew that this was urgent.  We stopped for a potty, (not to be confused with party) and decided to get lunch.  While there, Jack used the bathroom 4 times with my Sugar. Each time quite impressive. (Please pick up my sarcastic tone while reading.)

Then I got to participate in the fun. His face looked so sad on the potty.  We went 3 more times, making a total of 7 trips to the bathroom in Farmer Boys Restaurant.  On the final time, while wiping his bottom, he sharted, ALL OVER MY HAND! (Do you know what a shart is? Well, look it up if you don't. Forgive the language in the definition.) Then he said, "Oh, now I'm done." Honestly, not sure how I didn't throw up on him. So freaking disgusting.

3. Then,  this just happened while driving home. Jack said again, "I've got to go. Pull over." My Sugar high tails over to the exit, only to find that it's a stretch of road that leads into a housing community with absolutely no spots to pull over. None. So, we were forced to make a choice. Poop in your pants or... help a brother out by pulling over. Jack pooped along side the road in a construction site for these fabulous new homes currently under construction.

That is poop. Well as Jack put it, pee out of his butt hole.

It's what they get for having nowhere to go! Dumb California.

4. Okay, so those were bad, like gross, super gross. But this little experience was just plain bad/rotten.  While visiting the USS Midway, a place of respect, valiant service, and honor, some JERK broke into our car! They stole my Sugar's TOMS sunglasses and all the quarters in our car. Ugh. 

5. Oh yeah, then we wanted to play on a slide with our babies right in the middle of downtown San Diego. They had old school metal slides that allow you to actually zoom down to the bottom. My Sugar and I were both excited (him a little more then me) to try them out with our babies, but an actual security guard for this park told us that we aren't allowed.  Really San Diego? You have that many allocated funds in tax payers dollars to pay a security guard to enforce this rule of "AGE 5-12" on a slide, but San Diego political officials, you don't see a need to have a security guard at the USS Midway to watch people's belongings? Ugh again.

Since I have probably made you throw up in your mouth a few times since reading this, or you now have the same appalled feeling we had about security guards and lack there of guards in beautiful San Diego, I'll move on the more joyous times we had on our trip. I'll try and just stick to pictures, because this is already too lengthy.                Like usual.

Bring on the fun!

Awesome!

USS Midway

Searched everywhere to find where the dentists sleep on board the ship, but we couldn't find it. 

It has to be bigger than the sleeping arrangements for enlisted soldiers, hopefully.

More San Diego FUN

 See the rules on the SLIDE that are strictly enforced!

This is super hard! 

Afton and I saw a harbor seal while we were heading out from the dock! 

My Sugar didn't believe us.

So handsome!

Oceanside Street Fair

Just because...

My Sugar said these are the best fish and chips!

We also ate at Burger House down in Oceanside!!! 

Absolutely delicious.

I'll end this post on a sweet note with pictures of ice cream, candy, and of course, the sweetest little baby in the world.

Our trip started out pretty rough, but overall it was great. It was just what our little family needed. We have officially one more year left of dental school, and I know there will be ups and downs, but nothing that will compare to being pooped on, literally. 

Hopefully.
