Yes! Today is the day, the first Wednesday of the month, the day we all get to laugh away with Finding the Funny. And super-special cool news–this month we are bringing you a chance to win a custom facebook cover! (My brain hurts as I try to figure out a way to throw the Rafflecopter and win this for myself).

I partially blame Disney for making Minnie so darn cute and obsession-worthy
All the details for the giveaway are below, but first I had to share a story with you. Because it happened.
For my husband’s birthday this week he wanted to go to a local buffet breakfast place (for the sheer reason you get to eat free on your birthday, of course). I’ve got the empathy of most parents with the word “buffet”. Let’s just say I worked all those sympathy “Where did your husband go, you poor woman?” stares as I tried to get coffee while juggling my daughter and the diaper bag.
The worst part came however when my daughter took a dump in the middle of the meal. We have a general free-pass-on-your-birthday policy, so I was up. I grabbed the diaper bag and trekked off with her to the bathroom. As luck would have it, she had eaten blueberries the day before. Anyone who has ever given your baby blueberries understands that this not only turns their poop flourescent blue, but makes the poop take on a glue-like consistency. Which forces you to go through an entire pack of wipes while your child screams as you scrape crap off her bottom. Blueberries now banned.
After we got this situation sorted, I put her down. Unfortunately, her foot caught in the diaper bag handle and she fell face forward onto the bathroom floor. This caused her to drop her beloved Minnie sippy cup which shot directly into the handicap stall in front of us. More unfortunately, there was someone using the stall. Who was handicapped. And who I imagine was having difficulty enough just navigating the toileting process without having to get up, walk over, bend down and get my daughter’s sippy cup.
I profusely apologized.
The poor woman said “it’s okay”. In the kind of way you knew it was anything but okay.
My daughter screamed and screamed, “MY MILK” in her scary “I’m angry” Darth Vader voice.
And we waited. And waited.
It was an awkward situation.
I could not get in to get the milk, the woman could not get up to get the milk, and my daughter could not live without her milk.
This was not a happy scenario.
Finally, the woman’s daughter came to the rescue, praise God. Minnie cup was rescued, sanitized and my husband was informed that free birthday smorgasboard or not, there will be no further insane attempts to leave our house until our children are in college.
Also, breakfast restaurants should hand out full-body suits to families with children. I had no idea it was possible to get that much sticky syrup between my toes.
